Yoke W/joystick?

Postby jimm57 » Tue Mar 30, 2010 6:57 pm

Just got a Saitek yoke & pedals throttle qual hooked up Sunday. Love it!   Yowsa, what a way to fly.
Question is can I just plug the ol' joystick in the 'puter and till fly w/ a stik? Some planes require it, eh?

shanx.

Wow! I'm honored to have Fozzer reply! Made my day.

Tried what you suggested, but now I can control with either when they're both plugged in.  Hey, it works!

Thanks Fozz!

No wealth. A friend jumped into FSX last year thinking of getting his PPL. Made it thru gnd school, but saw the cost and time and quit. Asked if I was inteested in his hardware. Less than 1/2 price! Who could say no?

Thanks again. love your plane

Hello Jim...

I often wonder how many "Simmers" buy a "Game", and start to see their future in the real thing!.... ::)..!

Flight Simmers become Pilots?
Train Simmers become Train Drivers?
Driving Simmers become Formulae 1 Racing Drivers?
Ship Simmers become Admirals?
Truck Simmers become Truck Drivers?

Fishing Simmers become Fishermen?

Horse Training Simmers become Cowboys?

Flower Arranging Simmers become Florists?

Probably not!.... ::)...

They become sensible Tradesmen, like the rest of us...;)...!

...or stack shelves in Wallmart?

Paul....G-BPLF....FS 2004...FS Nav...retired Electrical Engineer... :)...!
