Hello, I have been lookin to upgrade my Flight Deck (if you can evan call it that) Anyways, i have been looking around for flight yokes. Is CH the only ones who puts out a flight yoke?

I'm just lookin for a yoke, I have the CH Throttle quadernt now and really dont want the leavers on top of the yoke. I have Googled around and not found very much. As I remember Someone put out a King Air yoke. Anyone know of this?

Im in to general aviation not the heavies. B200, PA31, etc.

Any info would greatly be appericated.  

n556np,

Thwe CH yoke is the cheapest one that I know of.  There are others out there... but the price takes a BIG jump immediately along with the realism.

CH makes a "lite" version of the yoke that I think does not have the three engine controls on the top.  It is cheaper too.  Check into that and see if I am remembering correctly.

best,

I bit the buillet, I found a good deal on the Pro Pedals and the Yoke, on Ebay.

I Did Search around some more on yokes and i did find the Beech Verision of the Yoke but its around $600, Which is Pricy for a yoke.

That's what I meant by a "price jump".  

You'll enjoy the CH combo.

Yup, the CH yoke is fine, but if you don't have TrackIR (and as I have just re-read your posting, the CH TQ, which you can place anywhere you want) you will have to do some pretty nifty handwork to manage both high-hat looking and throttle while landing/taking off.

For some reason, they chose to put both throttle and high-hat on the same side on this otherwise excellent bit of kit... a bit daft for something intended to support flight sims, what?

Doh!

Padser,

By the "high hat" I assume you mean the 8 way hat switch which can (typically) be assigned to views?

When I am landing/ taking off the only view involved is out the windscreen.

Absolutely, John.

But when I was having flying lessons my flight instructor was constantly telling me to use only my left hand on the yoke. My right hand was to remain planted on my thigh until required!

I tend to fly only combat aircraft nowadays when 'simming', so the yoke is retired for the time being and I can use my left hand on throttle and right hand on stick without guilt...
