There's one way to describe flying by NUMpad; SHEER HELL! My joystick broke and my Dad said that he might get me a yoke for FS. What I wanted to ask was is it harder to fly by yoke than joystick. ???

Well, I wouldn't say it's harder...it's just different. You'll have to accept a certain learning curve before you will be comfortable with the yoke.
I had a yoke before, and I felt much more in control when performing precision rolls and landing corrections. Too bad my yoke lacked the amount of buttons found on many sticks, so I switched back to a joystick again:)

I've never found a yoke that I've liked....that isn't $400, anyway. lol The CH products yoke was cool for a while, but it lacks a certain realism to it, IMO. I'm much happier with my X-45.

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

I like the CH yoke with throttle/prop/mixture controls. But I wouldn't want it without the rudder pedals. I think this setup is more realistic for most of the airplanes I fly.
