Digital camera reviews of CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB ( 200-615 )
Digital camera Review: A must gadget with Microsoft Simulator
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband, and he loves it. He says that he feels like he is really flying a real airplane.Digital camera Review: A poor choice for instrument work
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this and the CH Products rudder pedals to practice my instrument work. Other reviews mentioned that the control column does not return very well to a neutral position, with regard to pitch. Believe me, this is a major shortcoming of this product, and in IMC, you'll be searching all over for the correct control column position to control pitch. On the plus side, it does make you speed up your instrument scan, but it's a major pain. I tried flying a holding pattern today, and most of my attention was devoted to pitch and altitude. Even in the absence of wind and turbulence, the simulated plane flies like it's going through updrafts and downdrafts. Forget using elevator trim - the real issue is where do you have the control column positioned. I'm replacing this product. I wasted my money on it.Digital camera Review: AWESOME
Summary: 4 Stars
this flight yoke is the best out there for such a price with or without rudder pedals. i gave it a 4 our of 5 because the throttle and other levers are placed in a weird position so that you'd have to twist your hand through and around the yoke to get them which may cause a bit of a delay in your throttle control...its difficult on landing. also the stick doesnt turn a 90 degrees like most real yokes but i guess thats to make it a little easier for the average simmer. over all its a great buy and a solid product. ch lives up to its reputation for me!Digital camera Review: Absolutely the best flight sim setup available
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start by saying that this setup is not for the typical gamer or the flight simmer that likes to yank n bank. This setup is more for fans of Flight Sim, and other more "serious" simulators out there that focus more on reality than action. That being said...For the price this setup cannot be beat. I treated myself to the CH Yoke Pro USB and USB Rudder Pedals about 8 months ago, and I am still greatly enjoying them today. I probably paid about twentyfive more for each (Fifty total) at that time, but even at that price it was a great deal considering the quality and entertainment I've received from them. I've always been a big fan of flight sims and I must say that this rig in conjuntion with MS Flight Sim 2004 is the best commercial flight sim there has ever been. The level of realism increases immensely with the use of the yoke and rudder pedals.
Also, with the number of buttons and levers on the yoke, you almost don't need to use the keyboad at all. Just about everything you need is right at your fingertips; Throttle, Mixture, Prop Pitch, Gear Up/Down, Flaps Up/Down, 8-Way View Hat, Rudder Trim, Elevator Trim, plus 4 other misc buttons to do more stuff with. Note that all of the buttons and levers can be customized to anything you like. MS Flight Sim immediately recognizes this yoke and sets it up with a default set of controls that does just about everything you need.
Another really nice feature is the rudder pedals have independant variable braking (something I didn't know that real planes even have) which means you can break the left and right wheels independantly. This is done by each foot pedal being pushed in the typical way a gas or break pedal would work on a steering wheel setup. This is not only used for braking, but also as an aid in steering. Of course the pedals also slide forward and back for rudder control, all exactly the way a real plane works. This adds an even higher level of realism that no joystick can reproduce.
A review would seem biased if I didn't mention something I didn't like about the product, but I can honestly say that I am perfectly happy with it, and have nothing bad to say. The yoke and pedals are built solid and meant to last, and the performance is flawless. So all I can say is if you enjoy flight sims, or if you're toying with the idea of getting your pilots license, then this setup is a must. I have no regrets on my purchase, and it's even cheaper now. I hope that doesn't mean they are going away, but if it does make sure to get one before they do.
Digital camera Review: Adds another dimension to X-Plane in OS X!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought USB rudder pedals and yoke for use with X-Plane on a Mac Dual G5.
Plug and play (no drivers needed), easily configured in x-plane, works beautifully. Great price! Thanks Amazon! Shipping was 2 days early! Kudos to Fedex!
I am a private pilot, and recommend this product!
