Hello Everyone.
I am a M.Engineering student from a University in Canada.
Our team is currently designing and building a fixed based flight simulator to be used for educational and research purposes.
We are almost done building the rig, so now we need to choose a control equipment (yoke, throttle and rudder for now).
For our test-bed, we used CH's FlightSim Yoke, throttle quadrant and pro pedals.
But the built quality and the feel of the control did not meet on par with our standards.
So researches were done, and we found some better quality devices, price ranging from $200 ~ $1350.
Yoke
One of the most important equipment we need to purchase. Here is the list of the ones we found so far.
Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Yoke System $210
VRInsight Flight Master Yoke $400
Precision Flight Controls Cirrus Beech Yoke $620
GOFLIGHT GF-Pro Yoke System $750
Throttle
There weren't as many choices as yokes, so we simply went with the concept of our simulator, which is mainly for general aviation
Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Prop Mixture Module $150
Rudder
Same for the throttle, I haven't found many variants, so decided to stick with this
Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Rudder $210
So.. finally, my question is, of the four yokes above, which one do you recommend?
Remember, it needs to feel and look as professional (real) as possible.
Thank you in advance for your help!
