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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
