Digital camera reviews of CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB ( 200-615 )
Digital camera Review: Best yoke ever
Summary: 5 Stars
People who use Flight Simulator 98 to Flight Simulator X you're in luck. It is a must have for any pilot and anybody for a passion to fly.
The only bad thing is that on my Dell, the planes don't turn. Instead of that it is a must have
Digital camera Review: Best yoke for the price...and just plain great!
Summary: 5 Stars
See my full review with photos on my website (look it up by my name).OPERATION: I used the CH Products Flight Sim Yoke with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 A Century of Flight. Flight Simulator immediately recognized the yoke at startup and already had all the buttons mapped. I changed them to my preferences using the setup panel in FS. On my first flight I noticed that the elevator was really jumping around. It wouldn't stay where I put it! I really thought the yoke was broken. Then a very distant memory began to emerge from my checkered past. I recalled that I still had my old Gameport joystick plugged in...problem solved. These USB devices do not work with Gameport devices.
The yoke felt very much like the Cessna's that I fly (C172R), albeit a bit lighter weight. The resistance was a little surprising, very stiff, which is good for cross country flying. It took a little getting used to the button locations, especially the hat switch, but after a few hours it falls right into my grasp. Having an 8-position hat switch sure makes the landing pattern easier to fly, and with all the buttons on the yoke I don't need to touch the keyboard. The trim wheel was very stiff, so I wouldn't use it to trim the airplane, just to adjust the joystick centering during calibration.
SELF CENTERING OR NOT???
I was concerned about the lack of center detent when I initially read the literature. But this doesn't mean the joystick doesn't self-center. It snaps back to center with about 1/4 inches of center play, just like in a real airplane.
Digital camera Review: Best yoke out there
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recieved this yoke and let me tell you, its awesome. like the other guy said, its not easy landing a Cessna with the arrow keys. With this yoke all of the controls you need are right there. i also ordered the rudder pedals, they havent come in yet but im expecting them to be awesome too.Digital camera Review: Built to last?????

Lost one axis of rotation after very little use. Not really a repairable unit. It's the new plastic world, no way to access the workings of the unit.Digital camera Review: CH FLIGHT SIM YOKE

IT IS A GOOD PRODUCT. EASY TO INSTALL AND CALIBRATE. SOFT COMMANDS WITH PRECISION MOVIMENTS. I RECOMMEND.
