GoFlight Yoke Announced

Featured Replies

  • 2 months later...

More info:

Well, we are finally just around the corner from the release of the first ever yoke system offered by GoFlight.  We are announcing, the 13th of April as our official pre-sale event for this newest member to the extensive GoFlight family line.  This release is in conjunction with our participation in the 2013 German Flight Simulation Conference. Come see us exhibit the new Yoke System at the show and get your hand on it before your own arrives.

The GF-Pro Yoke System is built with precision manufacturing to ensure the most authentic flight among desk top yoke systems.  These units are all built with sturdy cast aluminum handle, while the chassis is made of durable steel sheet metal; both are finished with a long lasting powder coat.  These handles are modeled directly after a Boeing 737 with the same trim levers in the handle accompanied by a few other electronics we integrated to enhance the flight simmer experience. The chassis is built streamline, with a small profile which allows you to configure the unit into your simulator with minimal interference.

Each handle has five programmable buttons; Trim, View Selection, A/T Disengage, and two Voice Call buttons.  Also included is a Hat Switch and Thumb Joystick for controlling your mouse.

We are very excited to see this system hit the market, and know it has been a highly anticipated project.  This project was built with precision and realism in mind through the whole project.  After flying on early versions of this yoke for the past few months, we can say with confidence, the performance and the feel are inferior to none we've experienced in the past.  This piece of equipment will soon become a must for all those looking for realism in their home flight simulator.

I have a feeling Goflight's going to price it out of a mass selling range, I hope they chase Saiteks price range and not Ace. Im in the market for a yoke, but if it borders the more authentic lines price range I will pass.

I totally agree, I can see them in the $13-1600 range for some reason.  I "HOPE" for anything under $500, $700 would probably be my absolute limit but seeing what they charge for their TQ for example I can easily see them pricing this at 2x $700.

Out of my price range

I had a look around as well but doesn't seem that price has been announced. The 15% discount was for old items only.

If the price is reasonable this could end up being my first yoke!

If it was able to go from desk to floor mount I would entertain 700 bucks.

Looks promising! I am interested in how this will compare to PFC yokes, etc.

Funny, the only thing that kept me from spending $700 on the PFC yoke was the lack of a hat switch.  They were adamant a real yoke didn't have one so they wouldn't build it in, but you aren't building a real yoke, you are building an FS yoke.  Glad to see GoFlight and least got that right and the mouse control looks very intriguing.  This really looks top notch will all come down to $

Go to the classified section, I know where you can get one cheap ;)
