SO excited...  I had the Iris FFB V2 yoke from their kickstarter program but unfortunately it finally died after 7 years of use a few months ago.  I decided to go for the Yoko+ from VirtualFly thinking I would be able to live without the FFB functionality.  Turns out the Yoko+ is an incredible feeling yoke.  Very well made and a real quality piece of kit but it turns out I do also move the FFB more than I anticipated.  Decided to treat myself and the CLS-E NG from Brunner will be here this afternoon.  

Don't really have much else to say yet.  Just super excited and as my wife can't seem to relate I thought maybe someone here would understand!!  LOL

BTW, Yoko+ is now for sale in the classifieds section  

Hope you enjoy as much as I do... solidly made. Did you spruge for the rudder pedal.... Great combo.

Enjoy

Still totally enamored with it.   Just this morning left KEWR in a steady chop and sitting there feeling the effects on the airplane outside on the yoke in your hand is awesome.  Enabling autopilot and watching it follow the A/P is very cool in my opinion as well.

I've got CLS2Sim working with P3D and MSFS.  Can't find any negatives other than I'd like more online profiles.  

The overall combination of a buttkicker on the seat and the brunner in my hand puts a lot of smiles on my face.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on this...  Out of curiosity, are you in the US and if so what was the import taxes involved?  I saw on their site the buyer is responsible for all import taxes and didnt want to get caught out there with some crazy bill on top of its cost...

Question on the fun stuff though - is the Brunner all its cracked up to be?  It certainly seems that way from your post.  Hows things like taxing with gusty conditions?  Can you feel the forces on the controls just like the real thing?  How about during a runup from the propwash?

Congrats on your new Yoke, Paul. Have fun.

How loud is the buttkicker anyway?  I'm just trying to gauge how disruptive the vibration sound would be to the rest of the house.  I fly another room, but with a headset.  thanks. 

Great to hear you’re enjoying it!
