Angelo how’s is this yoke holding up three years later? Ordered mine last Wednesday and can’t wait to get it.

Greetings.

I was waiting for the reply too. Looks Angelo is busy hand flying. lol. 

Did you get the yoke? I was wondering if you can share same impressions as Angelo did. I am thinking to buy this one these days as well. I have 737 ACE and GoFLight Pro yokes. Thinking to give them away and buy column yoke.

Words can't describe how awesome it is. One of the best products I've purchased for my simpit. I will say I haven't fired up P3D in months and its all been collecting dust. I went and bought a Flight deck solutions CDU and after initial excitement I found that I can't use it while in SLI. With SLI I go from 45-60 FPS at Flightbeam KSFO in PMDG 737 with traffic and weather down to 5 when the CDU window is undocked. There has been no work around and after frustration I've been grounded essentially. But can't say enough about the Yoke. 

Dear all.

I‘m eagerly awaiting my unit for next week as well.

One question: is it absolutely necessary to mount the unit to the floor ( due to control forces )?

Could someone show some pictures/suggestions on how to mount it space-saving ( and maybe transportable ) to the floor?

Or has someone found an alternative solution?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Toto

@Shylock_35

after seeing your post here and having had a similar experience with the PMDG CDU on an external FDS unit in the same config -- second video card.....I though about posting a request the we get a Bezeless remoteCDU option (I had the simserver CDU before I bought the FDS already) which would then allow us to make the Pop Out instead of be a sim window be a web browser windows -- also that way run on a separate PC dedicated to the FDS CDU....anyway there was a replay to my issue suggesting a way to make the flickering go away....

I have not had time to test this out..will do tomorrow (again if I get a minute) but did not want to forget about your post and being the reason this was mentioned at all.....

 

Part of my post he quoted.....

"The Problem:

P3D does not play well with undocked screens being on a different Video Card (nor does P3D support SLI either).  When you undock the CDU screen and move it to a different Display that is not on the main video card you will get flickering and worse you will see the FPS drop to word not allowed!!  PMDG has no solution as they don't offer any kind of "remote" displays that can be run on the network in a simple fashion like say a Avionics package."

 

His Response 

 

"Hmmm, not true in my house. I use several un-docked windows and move them to other displays which are rendered by a different video card than the main display; they function fine without flickering using Windows 10. However, I had to go into the properties of the 'Prepar3D.exe', look at the Compatibility tab, and tick "Disable Full Screen Optimizations". Without doing this I had flickering on my secondary screens... but no more.

Hope this helps, good luck.

I purchased the yoke few days ago. I am scratching my head how I will mount it as well. I have Obutto revolution cockpit. I think I may have some ideas how to mount it. I may need to improvise a bit. My whole set is sitting on the carpet floor, I am not sure if want to drill it thru. Will find out soon

Hello.

Mine has arrived a week ago.

I´ve mounted it to a wooden Plate on the Floor, which is just fine for my purposes.

I´m overall pretty impressed of the Yoke: heavy and sturdy feel, very precise Hall-Sensors which makes up to a whole new Immersion.

However, I´m dealing with one issue:

There‘s a Region around the centre/neutral Position of the Elevator where essentially no self-centering takes place. ( However: there´s NO Sensor-Dead-Zone, i.e. the Yoke movement within the Zone of no Self-Centering is still picked up by the Sonsors and sent to the Simulator ).

 

For Example: if you pull on the Elevator and return it gently to neutral, the column returns to a certain position.

If you now push on the Elevator and return it again gently to neutral, it returns to a different neutral position.

This is most pronounced when the Elevator is only gently moved / returned.

 

In this case the difference between the two neutral Elevator Positions is about 2-3cm measured at the top of the Column.

 

Applying greater deflections and releasing the Yoke quickly, the self-centering is much better. However, no one would Control an Aircraft in that manner...

 

I´ve been in contact with the Manufacturer and the Seller and they´ve both confirmed the phenomenon as being design-related.

The Seller even sent a short Video to demonstrate that the same issue is present on one of his Stock-Units.

 

I´d just like to confirm with all other owners of the Agronn Yoke, that the lack of Self-centering to an exact Centre-Position is present on their Units too.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

best regards,

Just got mine. I would agree with the above note regarding self centered position. I think this the best they could do. I flew several times, looks like you just have to used to it. 
As for mounting  I cut T-shape piece of oak wood an screwed the yoke and rudder pedals. The whole thing is now so heavy so wood plate doesn’t shift  I didn’t have to secure it to my gaming cockpit, it just sits on the floor

Just posted the solution I found. I had to secure the yoke with screws to the piece if oak wood. 

I'm considering purchasing this myself... any feedback from 3 years later? 🙂

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello

It has been working for me with no issues at all. The quality is very good. It feels like a real yoke. My friend is a 737 pilot, he said it feels almost like a real one. It still looks like new. All buttons and switches work. No any unusual noises etc. I love it. Worth every $$
