Yeah Fozzer.....$160 US bucks.  That is the new Eclipse yoke and that is a pretty good price for it.  And they say "international".... so it might be worth checking out for Venge in case they don't alter the exchange rate bit.  That's ther main reason I posted it....compared to HIS prices above.  And if you look at the bottom of the page, the older style yoke is about $99.

If all you could afford for the moment was the yoke, you'd put it on autorudder.  Eventually you'd buy or build some pedals.  It is all about immersion..... and if you fly GA... a lot of GA planes have yokes, not sticks.

Never saw a twist grip stick in ANY aircraft.

PS:  I just put up a lot of yoke and pedal Ebay links down in the Homebuild section.  Some really cheap if they don't move too much.  One yoke sitting at $29 right now.

I use a combination of a MSFFB2 and Saitek x45(for throttle only) at the same time.  I've been very happy with both and have had zero problems.  Both of these devices are no longer available from the original manufacturers.  However, gogamer.com used to still have the FFB2 for 149.00 U.S.  The FFB2 has a twist handle for the rudders and that works just fine for me.  It also works well when you need to slip for landing.

I have also flown civil aircraft in real life but chose to go with a stick because I also like to fly combat sims and just didn't want to part with that much dinero to have both.  the main difference, to me anyway, is that for civil aircraft you use left hand to fly and right hand on the throttle.  Whereas with a stick configuration it's the opposite.
