Well Chums... ...
Surprise, surprise!.... ...!
One of my lovely Grandsons has just GIVEN ME the following:
(a) Saitek Pro Flight Yoke.
(b) Saitek Throttle Quadrant.
(c) Saitek Rudder Pedals.
The normal retail prices:
(a) £105.
(b) £45-50.
(c) £82-50.
Total: £232-50!
...and do you know what... ....
...after many years of using my trusty Twist Joysticks (present £50 Saitek Fly 5 Cyborg X) for my daily, 15+ years, exploration of the landscape, I found the Yoke + Pedals terribly cumbersome to use, and occupying far too much space around me!
For an instant, switch-on, fun, lets go exploring; I find my twist Joystick with its dual throttles and loadsa buttons, extremely practical for all my needs...and it takes up no room on my desk, and my slippered feet are firmly planted on my comfy carpet!
So there you go Chums. Think very carefully before you abandon your trusty, low-cost, Twist Joystick, and go out and blow loadsa money on a very expensive Yoke + Pedals installation!.... ...!
They may very well be; "realistic", but ask yourself, do you REALLY need them, for your type of daily; "pretending to fly"?
Paul.....all of a twist!.... ...!
P.S.. and, just in case you were wondering....NO!....I'm not giving them away!.... ...!
