I am about to buy a yoke as an upgrade from my Saitek X45 and I wondered who had one and if they liked it. Here is the one I am getting

I have that yoke and it is a pleasure to use. The only thing I don't like is that the clamping system is not that great, but the functionality is so worth it. I would recommend also getting the CH pedals as well.

I agree, the yoke might be expensive but i think it worth it, its much fun with a yoke, but watch it !!! its harder to control the plane, and I got CH peddels beutifull all together, nice and fun, but its hard to control everything together, thats y we have co-pilots 😂

Works well for jets but I don't use the levers, I use the levers on the CH Throttle Quadrant.

I like the throttle quadrant especially for twin engine simulation. It's nice to practice "engine out" as well as practical taxing particularlly in tight spots. With the control yoke, it works well with tri-engine aircraft.

Ok, Well I just bought the Yoke so By what I am hearing I better start saving for a throttle quadrant.
