I HAVE JUST STARTED USING A CH FLIGHT YOKE. HOWEVER I CANT STEER THE AIRCRAFT WHILST ON THE GROUND WITH IT! I'M SURE WITH ALL ITS BUTTONS THAT IT CAN DO IT, I HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT IF SUCCESS WITH THE GREY BUTTON ON THE RIGHT HAND THUMB PLACE. BUT WHEN I LAND IT JUST DONT WORK. CAN YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING OR EVEN IF I CAN USE THE KEYBOARD. PLUS WILL CH USB PEDALS SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? AND ARE THEY FS 2004 COMPATIBLE. THANKS ALOT. IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS.

WELL THE FIRST THING YOU CAN DO IS GO INTO THE SETTINGS AND CLICK REALISM THEN GO AND TURN ON AUTORUDDER YES BUYING PEDALS WILL HELP AND YES THEY ARE FS04 COMPATIBLE.

Try typing normally next time, typing with all caps is hard to read and it makes the typer sound like a idiot. There's Only a 7/16th of an inch that you need to more your finger.

Well it is just fantastic, i'm thinking of getting the pedals soon aswell, it makes it feel all the more professional, this yoke alone just makes you wanna fly you know. Go ahead get yourself one, believe me you wont regret it for a moment. Is it you that flies with a virtual airline? I have just joined the air france one, not too sure how it all works yet though!.

Nice talkin to you.

I wrote U 2 days ago :

On the yoke u have 2 buttons number 1 and 2. I usually setting those two buttons to right and left breaks. (F11 and F12) So U can “easily’ navigate with your taxi with the yoke and no need to use keyboard
I am using CH yoke and pedals for some year or more. Stirring with pedals is much easier
If U have any more questions setting up the yoke or pedals U R free to ask me on netzrafi@hotmail.com
