Title: Realistic Yokes and Throttle
Post by Bonanza4908 on Jun 25th, 2012 at 12:42am
I've just discovered that Saitek has Cessna branded yokes and other controls to use for flight simulators. Are there any other licensed controls? Beechcraft, Cirrus, etc?

Dunno' but I have these for my FSX Gold acceleration edition and am quite pleased with them.

That first one looks nice. I have a cheap $20 stick..but I'm looking into getting rudder pedals, throttle, and a realistic yoke for GA aircraft. Lot's of options, do you get what you pay for basically with these? Is cheaper better? Or not?

I've seen others, tho I know nothing about them, ALL my stuff is Saitek, rudder peddles, flight yoke, throttle quadrant & joy stick,, the Aluminum & steel combat rudder pedals ran me bout 170.00 and the flight yoke & throttle quad bout 150.00 , the joy stick I picked off EBay new for 18.00 a year ago. Coupled with my Track IR5, which bout' 100.00 and I don't remember what Fraps cost me?  I have FSX Gold/ Acceleration edition, My puter has a XFX 6850 Graphics card with a Quad core processor and 12 GB of Ram.  I have 2 / 27" flat screens , and 1- 20" in. screen. that just on my Flight Sim Computer only,,,, my other computer across the Desk,, i'm on now has bout the same specs , minus the graphics card tho.   I am totally very pleased with all the Saitek componets I have, and have had no problems , its been over a year now. I mainly Fly Vintage propliners and Vintage older Jetliners from the 1950's 1960's 70's era , NOT really into all these over hyped Corporate logo Tubes thats out there now !!!

The Saitek is probably what I will go for. I mostly do GA aircraft anyhow, but occasionally I will get into something different, I like the Cessna stuff.
