September 7, 20169 yr Commercial Member Still don't get what I said which was "uncalled for". Specifically? This: "Or are you just one of those experts around here who claim to know everything by citing opinions they found somewhere on the net?" That's quite an accusation, which turned out to be false, though you still persist with this line of thought even now with "who most likely has neither touched a high quality yoke nor a real plane." The issue really wasn't the accusation as much as the vague personal attack that it was carried in. Kyle Rodgers
September 7, 20169 yr But now I'm definitely moving on... Great news. So we move from detents to detentè. Nice way to close.

November 21, 20169 yr Author Just got an email from Saitek informing me that the Cessna yoke (the one with 90 degress turn on each side) has been discontinued.

November 21, 20169 yr Interesting. The Cessna Pro Flight products at Amazon no longer say Logitech or "pre-order". The non-Cessna Pro Flight items still appear. Wonder if there is a licensing issue with Cessna or if the Logitech purchase of the Saitek product line fell through? At the Saitek site there is no longer any mention of the Cessna Pro Flight versions, but the Pro Flight yoke and pedals are still listed.

December 31, 20169 yr Author So in the end Santa brought me the CH Eclispse Yoke. I like it, pretty smooth and does the job. Not a 90 degree turner but still good. Now here is my question...it's much harder to fly than a joystick. Is it me or do i just need to get used to it, maybe i must switch to an airbus? just kidding, but what i really am courious to know is this, do real world 737 pilots fly with one hand on the yoke and the other on the thurst? now that the flight has become more "physical" i'd like to know if there is a correct way i shoudl manually handle the controls? i guess i could check it out on utube...

January 1, 20179 yr I love my GoFlight yoke, it is sturdy and feels like the real thing holding it. The mivement of course is an unrealistic fly by wire. Alberto Ferracuti

For making small adjustments you should hold the yoke with the same force and same manner as part of the male anatomy. A real life yoke should be very responsive except for heavy aircraft where there will be a delay. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
