Thanks for that Paul, but you find the Cessna one much better?

TBH im thinking i might want to hold off untill the FS show and see whats available to try out.

The Cessna one seems better to me. It's smaller across the yoke between both handles so this seems to reduce the flex that caused sticky pitch.

I've done a fair few hours with the Cessna yoke and its feels nice. Exactly the same throttle quadrant as the normal yoke.

Hmmm Ok, many thanks Paul for your honist comments, i quite fancy the seperate throttle quadrant so if i dont need them i can hide them out of the way. Not keen on the CH way of sticking them on the yoke box...

Well thanks for all the comments and advice, I have just bit the bullet and brought a new cessna yoke with extra throttle set off fleabay!

Nice one Chris.. let us know how you get on

Well im very happy with it so far, the yoke i got had an extra TQ with it so i have set up an Airbrake, 4 throttles and flaps leavers, reverse thrust on each of the throttles for each engine. For one thats used to a stick its quite a bit to get used to flying with a yoke, I did feel that the elevator axis is slightly sesitive compaired to roll so found myself yoyoing down the towards the runway...

"Feel the Force", Luke, sorry, Chris.

I'm sure that with a bit more experience, and maybe even adjusting the sensitivity if all else fails, you'll be in total control in no time!

That TQ sounds like it has a number of buttons, would you like to put up a photo?

Hahah yeah totally different to stick flying, i set it up in the default cessna and i could handle that just ok, but the King Air was different ball game, had to go around first try and then touched down midway on the runway! I think a lot of practice may be helpful.

It has 3 rocker switches per TQ, so i have 6 in total, but i didnt assign any buttons to these yet, ill put a picture up tomorrow if i get the chance...

Poor Chris - he never had a chance!

Right on cue

Sorry I was moving my PC and assorted kit around the desk as i originally had my monitor in the corner, this caused a little discomfort when using the yoke and TQ's so ive moved round to the straight section, i had just finished a tornado flight so only had the TQ's and the Warthog set up.

Im getting better with the elivator axis on the yoke, think it is just practice but i did also do a windows calibration on the yoke also...
