Title: Re: Joysticks v. Yokes Post by LOU on Jul 3rd, 2011 at 2:38pm
That's a good question? Yoke vs Stick.
I've tried a few different types over the years and I believe it boils down to personal preference. Right now I am using a Logitech G940. It has way more buttons and trims than I will ever use. It is also a force feed back stick and you either like that or hate it. I find it OK most of the time since it has little things like a quick bump in the controls when the gear leaves the up lock on the way down and also when it goes up and the gear doors close. If you get slow you get stick shaker and that is fairly real to the touch. If you like to fly choppers, the stick does a good job of feeding back the vibration of the main rotor. The G940 is a three piece set with stick, throttle and rudder. The rudder pedal part is fully adjustable for the amount of pressure on the pedal and it has retractable teeth to grip the carpet. The throttle part has 8 buttons with 2 functions per button, plus a whole bunch of other buttons and hats to move around the simulator, and it has two split throttles. OK with 2 engine planes, but I just keep them locked together when flying the 707 or 747. It's pretty well made - I've had it 3 years and beat the hell out of it! :o It would be interesting to read what others think about this subject. Lou |
