Best Budget Yoke for Flight Simulator 2020 | Hands on Review (+BIG FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 GIVEAWAY!)

[@mateo1994]

We passed 1250 subs!! Thank you all so much! I will post a video tomorrow announcing the first winner! Next winner at 1500!

[@GamingWithFusion]

You said you can order the throttle for about $70, this is false info. The throttle is $250 and the $70 is addons to the $250 throttle.

[@GamingWithFusion]

Other then that great review, I appreciate it. I will subscribe to hopefully get good content like this in the future.

[@mateo1994]

Gaming With Fusion I was talking about the saitek throttle, I mentioned in the beginning of the video that the honeycomb throttle is not released yet and I hope it comes out in a month or 2.

[@mateo1994]

Gaming With Fusion I know my wording wasn’t the best so apologize for that but I did mean the saitek throttle. I’m aware the honeycomb throttle will be $250 since I have it on pre order

[@GamingWithFusion]

@@mateo1994 Yeah, I got confused I bit then and probably could of tried to re-wind and listen better. I will accept my mistake of listening to that. I appreciate the quick response, and I will tune into the channel more often. I hope you enjoy this month because I myself know I will with MFS2020.

[@michaelhenning2307]

I definitely think that 180 degrees of motion is super important as with flying the smallest inputs make the biggest difference. IMO if you’re thinking about getting the saitek system, wait. Save your money a little longer and grab the honeycomb. 100% will not regret it.

[@aamirkh9]

I want Flight Simulator 2020 because I'm fascinated by and passionate towards flying. Unfortunately, due to my financial condition, I haven't been able to pursue a career in flying in real life. I have always wanted to get into flight simulators but this game has increased my interest because it is so beautiful. I really want it so that I can experience flying in at least a simulation that is so close to reality.

[@erynnsturgon7970]

I hope you get to where you're going in life bro.

[@Ohboy8172]

Just bought an Xbox today for it hopefully see u in the skies

[@YourAverageSwimmer]

I am 14 years old and just started flying courses. I started out with a program called young eagles which is FREE and is for anyone ages 8 - 17. after you get the introductory flight you also get a FREE enrollment in Sporty's online ground school which is pretty much essential in passing the written exam. AND you even get a few more FREE flights. So if you are a kid, I strongly encourage you to join this program before you're too old. If you go through with the program, you can easily get your private pilot's license with less than $1000. Also, after completing the Sporty's ground school, you get one fully paid lesson at any private flight school of your choice. I am so lucky that this exists and am very excited to pursue this dream of mine!

[@TheAirLambo]

The channel is growing fast man! Great job with the review, I like the feel and realism with the honeycomb yoke. The airbus side stick from Thrustmaster looks like a great addition for flights with the airbus aircraft. So excited for the sim to come out and can’t wait to see the channel to keep growing once you get your hands on fs2020! Good luck to all of us in the drawings!

[@insanegamer6374]

Can you review rudder pedals next, the style of the review is quite good

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

I am instructor. If you can afford TPR by Thrustmaster at $500 then they are the best non-forcefeedback pedals. IMO they are better than Redbird or Ruddo that are in the same "all metal" class. The rest are the plastic class. If you are serious about RWS then you "get what you pay for"'. If you are simply a entertainment flight simmer then perhaps cheaper is better.

[@mateo1994]

Check out my new rudder video! When I get more in my hands to test I’ll release more but I dropped a video showing the cheap thrust master and Logitech rudders

[@itz_harman6106]

Shame I had to get the Saitek yoke 1 year ago, i was on a tight budget like you pointed out in the video about the little resistance of the Saitek and the feel of the yoke with a deadzone, I decided to open mines and place two rubber bands, this increased the resistance ever so slightly and removed the deadzone making the yoke feel more realistic, the honeycomb definitely looks better, might purchase later in the future when I get more funds, video quality is definitely improving, keep it up

[@girikpunwani796]

Nice video. Your review was nice and clear. Congratulations on 1k subscribers! It is really growing fast.

[@worldwed]

I've got my Honeycomb yoke on the way along with Thrustmaster pedals and Hotas X just to give me a basic throttle until the Bravo comes out. Cannot wait for next week XD

[@rasmuslindholm5719]

Me: (looks at subcount, proceeds to look at the date the first flightsim video was published...) DaaaaaaAAAAaaaAAng This was the first video I watched from you and the quality is amazing already! Keep it up dude!

[@onequick5o]

I subscribed after your PC build video, I think you are one of the few that actually broke down exactly what you got, explained why and showed us the build, so thank you for that. As someone who doesn’t know a dang thing about computers and watching many professionals explain and build, I was left confused a bit. Thank you for keeping it simple!

[@JoshuaLawrence124]

Thanks for helping me pick out a yoke. I'm a beginner but I really like the look and feel of the honeycomb.

[@BobRoss-bp2yv]

Honestly, the quality of your videos are phenomenal. Great job.

[@orangutaninjas8301]

Great video. I am looking into getting a new yoke for when the Microsoft Flight Sim comes out and this was really helpful.

[@KailimVibesyt]

Wew this channel is really growing a lot! And also I wanted to buy honeycomb but it's too expensive in my country (1.2k myr) but Logitech yoke is not my type. So imma just save my money from now on 😌

[@TechSway]

Glad to see your channel growing fast. I enjoyed the straight to the point comparison between these two as I'm looking at picking up flight sim again upon release and currently looking at getting a yoke. The Honeycomb definitely looks the better out of the two. I'll look at picking this up in the near future. Thanks for the comparison!

[@jonesfamily5880]

This was another great post, cheers. Now I know which one to buy. Looking forward to the nice one......oh gratz on the channel!

[@facelessgod2555]

Subscribed after the first time I saw your video about your PC build. I have ordered parts already and precisely building a PC so that I can run FS20. Thanks for the great content!

[@aviation3507]

Does the honeycomb yoke work on xbox

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

I am instructor and use Honeycomb. The stiff spring for pitch is fantastic because it gives more "feel" to trimming. Could be a bit stiff for kids tho. "Handedness" is important in RWS. The ignition should be used by left hand(and be placed by the switches on left) as it is in most small aircraft. They should have included fuel pump and pitot switch near the light switches. Minor issues! The built in aileron roll "delay" (as opposed to "twitchy" fast joysticks designed for gaming) is fantastic. This gives a realistic lag to control inputs. Great yoke for $250.

[@aminekhald6709]

The Videos Is getting better by the day , keep going bro

[@basje592]

The saitek switch panel is not supported atleast i cant get it to work....

[@Samah_Uroy]

Hey great video good review on both. You are growing real fast congrats on that. Can't wait on the 18 to see your first play. See you in the next vid

[@MARBLEHEAD07]

Hi bro I am following you since the first day. Congrats for the 1k subscribers keep going

[@mateo1994]

D.A.S 07 thanks so much for being an OG man! Can’t wait to take this journey with you guys

[@nighthawk1867]

Thanks for this video. I've just started looking for flight controls so this was a great help. Can't wait for more videos.

[@karloebora1657]

Great content as always dude! Your channel is growing very fast. I hope you can also review the different sidesticks available in the market. 😊 Watching from the Philiplines! 🇵🇭

[@yunak9665]

Great video and so detailed. I'm really enjoying the series and look forward to next week.

[@mateo1994]

Alexei Yukna thanks so much man! 5 more days!

[@Aditya-wg3lp]

Just recently got the honey comb, the build quality is nuts, I have no idea how they run a profit on that because for 250 it looks like something one would pay 500-700 for

[@RicksDesk]

Video was very informative and gave me a good idea what to look for. I've just started looking for flight controls for flight simulation and this video was a great help.

[@aikougaming]

Great comparison, was looking to pull the trigger on the Logitech as a first yoke and moving away from the joystick

[@davideurenius5272]

Great video. New subscriber here from Sweden. So excited for the new MS Flight Sim. Transitioning from joystick/keyboard to yoke. Thanks for highlighting Honeycombe.

[@hentler7149]

Nice short and to the point, good job. Right now I can't afford them because I had to buy new hardware for my pc so I can run MFS2020 but I will consider both yokes in the future.

[@24LeoTheLion24]

Great video! I've been looking for a yoke comparison between the two you've shown and this confirms my choice even more to go for the Honeycomb. I look forward to a review on the Bravo throttle quadrant whenever it releases. :)

[@jimstanley_49]

I'm a sim-only pilot, so maybe I don't know any better. Still, I would be happy to change the calibration curve in the sim. It's simple enough to dampen a +/- 45-degree yoke for less amplification near the center. (How often does anyone use more than 45 degrees of input on an aircraft, anyway?) And yet, Saitek/Logitech have done worse than limit the range of motion. You missed it in your review, but they coded a 5-degree dead zone into EACH SIDE of the center. This covers a little more than that un-tensioned shakey zone in the middle. They rob you of 10 degrees of motion and then penalize you with a 10-degree span that does nothing, right in the middle of the movement. This dead zone is LOCKED INTO UNSERVICEABLE FIRMWARE BY THE FACTORY. They claim it's a feature, not a bug. (I'm waiting on tech support, but I've already started on a mission to point out this unacceptable "feature" wherever I can.) I will be returning my recently purchased yoke system and switch panel (pending the results of my inquiry with tech support) to get a Honeycomb combo. To come close to the Honeycomb Alpha and Beta with Saitek gear, you need the yoke/throttle system, an extra USB throttle, and the Switch and AP panels. You will have saved about $30 (at today's prices, individual Saitek items vs. bundled Honeycomb) and have a LESS configurable system with a terrible yoke. (Though, the AP display would be handy.) The Saitek panels require a proprietary plug-in. The functions in that plug-in are locked in at whatever Saitek thinks they should be. You cannot, for example, assign an unused cowl-flap switch to a secondary avionics bus or an unused De-ice switch to carb heat. (I'm not sure about reconfiguring the labeled Honeycomb switches, but their throttle includes several programmable switches.) The radio panel is AMAZING for tuning radios, but it has limitations too. In DME mode, you are locked in to Nav1. DME also only uses one side of the display for data (the distance.) The other side freezes with, I think it's the Nav frequency, but it doesn't change when you change the Nav. The right-hand display becomes useless random numbers instead of the speed or time. They could have used the Swap key to switch between sources. They could even get it to "Hold" if they were clever. Maddeningly, the only "updates" they are interested in are repacking the drivers/plug-ins, so they install on Windows newer than 98.

[@arthurhartley3682]

12th subscriber and I’m from the uk love to see ur channel grow have fun with it and keep the grind growing. I want to build a set up so I’m grinding at the back of my pub till I get enough money (14 yrs) to build one.

[@mateo1994]

You are a true og man! Thank you so much for the support man. I’m going back to old comments and realizing I missed some amazing comments. Keep grinding and the hard work will pay off. I’ll be having another round of giveaways so stay tuned! Thank you so much for the support once again

[@emiliano98mx]

It’s really satisfying to watch people with a whole set up! Bring more reviews of flight sim hawdware!

[@paolocagliero8590]

Even more copies to give away?! That's awesome man, thank you very much! I have always used an XBox 360 controller for flight simulation, but now I am looking for an upgrade. This review has been very helpful! Would you guys recommend buying a yoke or a joystick? And why?

[@GamingWithFusion]

Yoke if you want a simulation and you can pair it with a cheaper joystick if you feel like flying Airbus realistically, something like the Thrustmaster T.16000M sidestick, or if you do more combat flight games then a more expensive sidestick (joystick) combo like the Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas combo. I personally am going to go for the HoneyComb yoke & throttle and possibly get the T.16000M or something like the airbus edition of the T.16000M sidestick.

[@paolocagliero8590]

@@GamingWithFusion You have been very clear. Thank you!

[@GamingWithFusion]

@@paolocagliero8590 Glad you think so, flight is making a comeback for me and I am under the same circumstance so it's easier to get straight to the point of what the user will enjoy more.

[@ooof5281]

Man, you are quick! I like it! What Rudders do you recommend? I plan on getting HC with the Logitech/Saiteck Throttle rn for the time being! EDIT: Holy smokes you too off in subs since last time I commented lol! Awesome!

[@starbees]

Nice yoke and good video, keep it up. Maybe a look at the Thrustmaster TCA stuff in the future would be good. Thanks.

[@RaspySquares]

Honeycomb ecosystem. Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Bravo Throttle, and Charlie Pedals.

[@mateo1994]

Patiently waiting for the honeycomb bravo throttle! I have it pre-ordered I really hope it comes out in the next month or two

[@doctor6060]

Great content. Used the Saitek yoke for years and want never really happy with it. Going to upgrade to the honeycomb in the very near future.

[@velocity2894]

I’d love to get a yoke for the new flight sim. Great video man!

[@larryhoffert3785]

This was great info.I do have the Logitech yoke but what I see the Honeycone looks awesome

Thanks Mate! been looking for Flight Yokes! Chucked a Sub

[@Deniz-bg8no]

Great review! Was on the fence for the saitek, but I think the honeycomb is the way to go !

I discovered honeycomb just today and I can't wait to get my hands on one! They look amazing and must feel great to fly.

[@mateo1994]

Hey brother, what is your recommendation for an affordable chair with a support for the yoke. I want something I can put in front of the TV then move into a corner when I'm done. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[@davidweiss8710]

Nice video! I was just starting to look for a yoke.

[@leeadams5351]

Great comparison for those who are new to flight controls such as myself.

[@HeatMyShorts]

Great video. I have the Logitech Yoke and Throttle. I very rarely use the yoke. I usually use my Thrustmaster airbus joystick even if I'm in a yoke aircraft. The Logitech Saitek yoke's material and motion just feel so cheap. The range of motion does bother me too. I'd love to try a Honeycomb before buying one. Maybe I'm just not a yoke guy..?

[@elliotj999]

Love the review good job!

[@Superhansi1000]

I own the Saitek (Logitech) one and it does the job for me. Definitely would have bought the Honeycomb if it were available years ago.

[@flashhobbies]

Dude, great comparison. Honeycomb seems to be the winner for me.

[@Henryx097]

It would be awesome if, after the FS2020 finally releases, you compare the different addons that will eventually come out so we can make a more informed purchase. Cheers! Keep it up!

Hey Man. I was in the Marines for awhile. You ever thought about going to college then going into the service and flying? Just asking.

[@mateo1994]

Hey man! I’m actually way past that point. I know I look young but I’m actually 26, sometimes I wish I would have joined the Air Force or navy but unfortunately my mind set wasn’t there back in those days, so I do sales and marketing now but I love flying and fly a Cessna 172 in real life, also considered being an airline pilot but the lifestyle just wasn’t for me. I’m happy flying general aviation you know?

[@henrikhansen9843]

Honeycomb is it made by metal?

[@crangesmcbasketball367]

Would you recommend getting the honeycomb yoke and the honeycomb throttle or should I just get the saitek throttle

[@mateo1994]

Cranges Mcbasketball Plays games if you can wait do the honeycomb, there’s just no telling when it will come out. I’ve had my preordered for a while now. The saitek throttle is cheap and you could sell it in the future if you need something fast

[@crangesmcbasketball367]

Planet FlightSim okay bc It it doesn’t get delayed again it says it’s out September 1st which I can wait but I would be going over my budget a little bit because I was wanting not to go over 500 and I’d still need rudders how much are some decent rudders that wouldn’t give me troubles

[@AndiKoehn]

Congrats on your channel growth mate! That's awesome! 😉👍 Now, how did you get the panels to work with fs2020? 😳 Mine are not registered by the sim.

[@Mao-CR]

Sure it’s great for a cessna but what about flying A320? A joystick makes more sense doesn’t it?

[@mateo1994]

M V I’m personally not an airbus guy. I prefer the yoke I only use stick for Bush flying and light aircraft. This was a yoke review not a joystick review

[@mateo1994]

M V but yes if you wanna fly a airbus I would use a stick if you want to be realistic

[@Mao-CR]

Planet FlightSim Correct. Good review btw

[@gamingjax1232]

Great review! Liked and subbed!

[@dalexdba1]

Seeing the eyewatering price for the honeycomb throttles I currently use saitek pedals, throttle and trim wheel (all usb) and seem to get a great feel of vfr with my rift s. ATM running x-plane in vr with the orbx uk south and central so as long as I can find the throttle and trim, it is going great! Vr presents its own issues so am looking into ways to track the physical with reality so if you have any ideas such as vr tracked fingertips and control locators I'd be really grateful. Thanks for the great comparison - subbed!

[@dscapes1]

My Honeycomb yoke is still boxed on a chair just looking at me. Thanks for this, i think i made the right choice. HC throttle isnt out here in England untill Oct 20th...DAMN! I'll be using the keyboard until then. Might get the new Thrustmaster flightstick for sidestick, but i still have the older one. Are those thrustmaster rudder pedals the ones on rails? i was thinking of getting them. How are they?

[@mateo1994]

Solar Powered Man we are supposed to get them in September/October as well! I have mine pre ordered but no news yet:(( hoping it’s soon! And yes! You made the right choice with the honeycomb for sure

[@mateo1994]

Solar Powered Man plug them both in and just use the thrustmaster as a throttle (if it has one) and the yoke for everything else

[@cdragonVII]

I missed out on the honeycomb bought the saitek one instead. If I don't like it I'll return it and get the honeycomb if it gets back in stock soon

[@sttarch5150]

Any insight into getting CH Yoke and pedals working in 2020?
