We have a Saitek R440 Force Feedback Wheel with pedals.
It is just a racing wheel. Would that work or be the same as a yoke?

I use the MS Sidewinder Precision 2 myself.  I have a Logitech 3D Pro Extreme, but for some reason it doesn't work quite right on my rig, so I gave it to my pop to use for European Air War.

I might get a yoke some time, though.  I'm in the process of building rudder pedals right now, I have all the electrics done, I just have to not be lazy and do the actual construction and design.

I'm using the Saitek X45, upgraded from Thrustmaster Fx proforce feed back. B4 that I had the Logitech. I researched a lot and though I'd prefer the Cougar hotas, I settled for the Saitek due to the price. I'm happy to use it and find the rudder control usable. I don't have the legs for pedals. They're only useful for assymetric and aerobatics anyway. ;D
