Default Flight Sim CH yokes/pedals PIREP

I have the yoke and pedals as well, and I think I easily got my money's
worth in terms of practice (especially IFR) using them. The only major
objection I have is that trim does not work right (but that's true of
almost any type of joystick).


The trim on our new CH yoke seems to work just fine. It's a roller
knob, like the dimmer switch on a Cherokee panel, and is a vast
improvement over the keyboard-adjustable trim.

Aside from the obvious improvement in realism, I think what I'm most
impressed with is how everything simply works, straight out of the box.
I haven't had to assign any of the multitude of switches and buttons,
I haven't had to adjust any software -- hell, I haven't even CALIBRATED
the things. They just *worked* straight away -- which is unheard of,
in my experience. No software to run, no drivers to load -- they just
GO.

I've now let several pilots "fly" our new set up, and to a person they
are all impressed. Even Mary was able to land the plane successfully,
and she is as simulator-averse as anyone I've ever met.
