I found it slightly odd using a "yoke" in the real Cessna 152 after years of using what seemed to be the more sensible, and natural "stick" for many years in the various flight sims...
...!
The stick seems to be more accurate, natural, and precise for changing direction...8)...!
Paul...a bit of a "stickler" for joysticks...

I haven't flown many aircraft with a yoke but what I dislike about them is the fact that they have two separate fulcrum points rather than the single universal hinge point of the typical joystick. (The WWII standard RAF joysticks as used on aircraft like the Spitfire were an exception & probably introduced due to lack of space in a confined fighter cockpit.) On most light aircraft the yoke is mounted on the panel requiring a sliding 'in & out' motion to control pitch & a rotary action for roll. I suppose this becomes perfectly natural after a while depending on what you're used to. Most students now would probably prefer a yoke as these are fitted to the elementary trainers used by most flying clubs & flight schools throughout the world. One benefit is that the yoke can easily be used with either hand which is especially useful on dual-controlled types with side-by-side seating & a single set of engine controls in the centre.
I'm still thinking of those young ladies in their summer dresses getting into the front seats of our Tiger Moths. At the appropriate point in the proceedings their boyfriend in the rear cockpit* would decide to check his controls. Up elevator, ooops sorry love
- accompanied by lots of blushes, squeals & giggles & young Hagar's eyes popping out on stalks.
Great fun & fond memories of happy days. You can't do that with a yoke.
*PS. One of those pilots is now in his late 70s & I still see him occasionally. He married one of those pretty young girls in the summer dresses he used to take for pleasure flights & still thinks the world of her. I don't think she would fall for that trick now or wear a summer dress when she goes for a flight.

I have never tried a yoke on my computer yet, but i think its the best and most practical. Lets face it, theres gonna be a time when you jump into a high speed military jet, or use it for some other sims and games.
Cheers,

Well, most high speed military jets have a joystick or a sidestick nowadays. Modern jet airliners use a sidestick which is very similar to a gaming joystick.
A320 sidestick. Note the captain's stick is left-handed.

I'm a yoke-man myself. But I've only flown C-172s, so I know nothing about joysticks.

It will depend on the designers & customers preferences but I can see a time when the only aircraft fitted with a yoke will be trainers like the C-172, other GA types & vintage airliners. I've even seen some basic microlights with a sidestick.

A lot of kit-planes have sticks too. I would guess that they are easier to install.
