Force feedback yokes?

[Flybynumbers 42]

Why can we get force feedback steering wheels for under $300 like the Logitech G920 but can't find a force feedback yoke for under 2k? Force feedback is a MUST in simulation. I have the G920 for my racing sim and it adds a tonne of realism...would not drive without it.

Niche market compared to racing games and the complexity in a yoke is much higher due to 2 moving axes compared, to just rotation in a wheel.

It doesn’t mean it won’t be done but it is not cheap or easy to do properly. Then you need software to properly support control loading and trimming as the current sims don’t really do this very well. Most driving games the support is built in and even then isn’t always great with large variations between the games.
