Thanks! Appreciate it @Huascar

Is it true that I heard several reports of users saying that their's some sort of deadzone and this yoke doesn't feel right when used with planes like the C152/C172?

Yes - they are fine.  I got mine from them.

Is it possible to use this Yoke to control planes with FBW like Airbus? I'd assume a Yoke is a better investment to spend my money on since it covers a much wider variety of planes. Since most planes have yokes and there aren't many planes with a stick, except for maybe combat planes. But the majority of planes I fly seem to have yokes in real life.

Last week every store in Sweden have them in stock, now they are all out of stock, Flight Sim seems very popular.

I know right? these are the type of people that shouldn't be reviewing or talking about flight sim. Yet alone receive these products. A true and dedicated flight simmer would've been a better choice to send them to.

Watching the average flight simmers review that would probably be in 720p would be like watching a tree grow. I bet 99% of flight simmers couldn't produce a high quality review for youtube that would get more than 11 views...

 It's great to get more people in the hobby that will keep it going. It's not the small number of enthusiasts that will keep the flight simming hobby going for years to come. I started at 8 years old doing loops in the Cessna near Meigs Field in FS 5.1

I haven’t experienced the dead zone but noticed that it takes too much yoke input for the plane to respond. In other words,  even a slight turn in the air requires you to turn the yoke all the way.

I hope this won't ruin the simming experience when flying in those types of planes. Is there a way to correct this behavior in mfs or is this how the yoke is designed?

Wouldn’t the null zones fix that issue?

I defer to others to share their  experiences since I haven’t been able to correct the issue. I’ll continue to calibrate it and configure it better to see if I get better performance.

It’s still a very good yoke and I don’t regret the purchase

Of course they are why else would I post? Have purchased RW flying items from them as well.

SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.

Yes, I have a stick but use the Honeycomb for all planes in FS20.

I have been using my Yoke with aircraft that have sticks in real life for years. Of course it is possible. But I recently bought Thrustmasters TCR for the Airbus and now use that stick for all stick aircraft. There are more among GA aircraft, than might think. All Diamond Aircraft have sticks, so does the Robin. And those are definately easier to fly with a stick.
