As a real pilot I feel that it is necessary to comment about the spring assisted yoke. At this price point you can't expect to have realistic resistance servos and motors keeping up with real time flight data. With that being said, If you were to fly a C172 and pull back on the yoke and then release it while inflight, the yoke would actually reset to about its center position. In real life the yoke in directly connected to the control surfaces with cables, so if you were to deflect the elevator for example, the air flowing over the horizontal stabilizer would in fact flatten out that elevator and return the yoke to about the center position. With all that out of the way, back to my first point, you really don't need all the fancy motors because you don't need to over control the aircraft. The springs do their job to add a bit of resistance and allow the yoke to reset. Unless you're trying to do aerobatic work/dog fighting, this is a great yoke for getting the that extra bit of immersion a realistic feel of the real thing.

Lars Trone I think the honeycomb is a good option too. But this is cheaper and has a throttle included, which IMO is more important than the switch panel on the honeycomb. For people ons budget this is a good entry level yoke and throttle.

i know im a bit late on commenting on this video. ive flown a decent number of hours in planes at this point and got used to how cessna and pipers feel and fly. for me now, if i want to go and practise circuits on x plane 11 (that's what i was using when i last had it out) i manage maybe 2 laps before im fed up of it. the dead zones on the yoke are just too big and the travel just isnt quite enough. however, before flying a ga plane or even on limited hours, id have to say its a totally different story. when i used to fly on fsx it was great and a lot more immersive than most things, plus i loved having a yoke over a stick. but if i wanted to fly on a flight sim now, i think id have to either go for a stick just for greater accuracy, especially with my training eventually leading to me flying the diamond da42, or go honeycomb

Awesome review. I've been flight simming since the 80's, but have always done stick/rudder. First time I've decided to make the switch, as I prepare for my PPL in the coming years - so getting used to both stick and yoke are crucial - as most training aviation is yoke only. The price really is right for this initial set up - and it is extremely tempting to go all-out for the additional hardware :)

I’ve had mine for years tho I will say I’m not crazy about it. I don’t like how it will only tilt up to 45 degrees whereas in real life the yokes will tilt to 90 degrees. The spring loaded bounce back is also a thing. Also I’ve noticed that it isn’t as smooth as it could be. When you’ve got a lot of pressure applied it will be a bit jerky

The experience now is much better! I'm still wondering why Logitech did nothing to fix the issues that have been there for years now!

Agreed, I went a couple of steps further by reinforcing the yoke handle with 3mm aluminium plate shaped to fit inside to stiffen it up and stop if flexing, same for the mounting area to the shaft with aluminium plates inside and out and then filled the baffled parts of the corners of the yoke with acrylic resin. It's completely stiff now, doesn't squeak and has a lot more weight to it. Rub the shaft with lots of candle wax.

@@radosawszmid7822 Hi, not really but i've just thrown this video together to talk about it and do a demo flight kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5mueJl_q8mFg9E I've seen reported that the Honeycomb also has a detent, doesn't surprise me and my motivation here was simply that the Honeycomb is unavailable and besides, i've already got a bunch of Saitek stuff which would cost ~£500 to replace and that makes no sense. Plus, the Honeycomb doesn't yet offer the same functionality as what I have. But i'm not being a champion of Saitek/Logitech, it's just that's what I happen to have and I don't wish to throw money away when I can improve what I have and I don't feel that i'm lacking anything right now after these small but significant improvements. I wasn't going to take the yoke handle apart for a picture of the aluminium inside but it's just a piece that follows the profile of the yoke handle internals. I made a cardboard template first and then cut the aluminium (3mm plate) to fit. Anything would do, I just happened to have this already. I could have tidied up the bit that's visible on the rear but at that point I was in the "whatever" mood and just wanted to try it out. It's super smooth, feels well weighted and i'm really happy with the result and still have a load more inputs on the Leo Bodnar board to assign to some other hardware at some point.

I bought this recently and also bought the Turtle Beach Velocity One Flight Yoke system that is newer to compare it against. I used the velocity one first and this one second. Genuinely felt like this was a pretty poor product at least in comparing it to the Turtle Beach one, which just has so many features in one package. Logitech Cons -Only 45 degree turns -Limited buttons on yoke -Won't attach to a desk with a beveled edge or curve in -Throttle Quadrant is decent, but if flying single piston planes mostly, you may want venire style knobs -Limited capability in programming of buttons and interface -No ability to see what button does what without going to control settings in-game or within programming window Pros - -Superior to Keyboard for control of plane -Simulates flight to a degree Just my two cents, take it for what its worth.

It's certainly better but it's also €250 more (at least here in Italy), and a yoke that costs three times as much is not really something for beginners (as a broke university student I definitely wouldn't be able to afford that). For those who need a yoke for a more professional use should definitely spend more and get a better yoke, but this video said this is great for beginners, I got it for €70 (used) and I think it's absolutely great for just flight simming for fun, definitely better than using my keyboard and mouse

It's absolutely trivial, plenty of videos on it on KZbin. Get rid of the springs and replace with rubber bands. Bypass the logitech electronics for the yoke axes and replace with a Leo Bodnar board and Rub candlewax all over the shaft (O.o err!) and then I did one other major mod (optional). I didn't like the creaking of the yoke handle and it was a bit too flexi for me. I took it apart and cut a piece of 3mm aluminium plate to the shape of the inside of the handle, full yoke shape. I also reinforced the flat part at the back with a 3mm aluminium plate inside and outside, drilled and screwed to connect these to the plastic. Finally, I poured acrylic resin into the yoke handle in the corners (it's all baffled so doesn't run everywhere). Oh, I also used some unused inputs on the Leo board to add a dual concentric encoder which I map to the COM radio with the push button on it to do COM swap. I now have a stiff, weighty handle with super smooth movement and no centre detent and via the Leo Bodnar board, great resolution. I get that the Honeycomb may be new, shiny, higher quality etc. but they're like hens teeth to get hold of and I already have the Logitech. No rush to change now.

@@emiratii2464 that's because the keyboard is 100% on or off unlike a real rudder or rudder pedal system that is on an axis. You will have much more control with rudders.

Well, this didn't age well. With Honeycomb Alpha and other, we can now see how badly we consumers were treated when given Saitek and CH yokes. Actually, home made 3D printed yokes that use linear bearings and ball bearings feel and perform zillion times better than Saitek. My own pro flight yoke is so heavily modded that it only resembles original externally, but internals are completely redone. Mechanics are from here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pICQnZSkeshorK8si=hUhC-lE2U0ojXYO4) with buttons and clock connected to original electronics, and roll and pitch connected to Leo Bodnar's 12-bit board... And it now feels like it should from the start for 140 euros i originally spent on it.
