Fulcrum One Yoke checks all the boxes for my needs

Featured Replies

From all the specifications I've read, the Fulcrum One Yoke checks all the boxes like no other yoke on the market.  I've owned yokes from CH, Saitek, and Precision Flight Controls and lately have been in the market for a new yoke.  I almost went with Honeycomb unitl I came across what appears to be a hidden gem in the Fulcrum One Yoke.

Check out this review of others and see for yourself how Fulcrum One checks all the boxes others didn't:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKl08XO8LSE

The biggest thing I noticed is that Fulcrum One has 8 inches of travel on the pitch axis AND 90 degrees of travel on the roll axis, while the others do only one or the other.

PFC yokes were not in the video but they are way over priced for most people at $2,000 USD and don't even have a Hat Switch which is a must for most simmers.  Even the Yoko just started adding a hat switch.  I don't like the layout on the Honeycomb with the hat and trim switches on top of each other.  I like how the Fulcrum One has them side by side.  I also have no need for all the buttons and switches and the silly looking front panel on the Honeycomb.

It looks like there is a future option to swap yoke handles which is unique.

I hope it lives up to my expectations because I'm very excited about this new yoke because for the first time in years it meets all the requirements I've been looking for.

That is the very reason it exists!😁

It was designed to meet all the shortcomings of other yokes out there as none of them do everything. I wanted to make sure there was an affordable yoke that beats all the others.

Mine arrived today.

I've now used it for a few flights with A2A's C172, A2A's Cherokee and PMDG's 737NGX, all in P3D v5.1 HF1. As an upgrade from a CH Products Flight Sim yoke, the Fulcrum Sim yoke has been a truly fantastic addition to my 'home cockpit' setup.

A 'plug and play' piece of hardware, with only a few button assignments changed to my preferences, and a piece of kit that has been solidly engineered.
This evening's flying has been a dream.

Great stuff, Chris!

That is great news! So glad you like it! Thanks for letting us know you got it ok.

I'm always interested to see what people are flying with it as it sometimes surprises me. My use is rather vanilla, xplane, p3d with a2a and pmdg and MSFS.

I've even had people talk about using it to fly a p38 in combat!
