I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It works alright and everything. Does anyone suggest anything else? I was thinking about getting a Yoke or maybe some pedals.
does anyone have the throttle piece from CH Products? Does it work well? Or does it complicate things more? |

I have the CH Yoke, Throttle Quadrant and Pedals. I also have the Logitech 3D Pro. I keep the joy stick for aerobatic, helicopters and other aircraft that have a stick control. The Yoke setup is expensive but I love it for most aircraft.

| I have the same as CRJ, except I use two joysticks for helicopters. A sperate joystick for the collective column makes it more realistic and easier to fly for me. |

| I have CH pedals. Which are so so but I hardly touch them except on taxi/takeoff/landing. The throttle quadrant is great, I wouldn't want to fly without it. I use the CH Flightstick Pro because it seems to be one of the only, if not the only sticks you can fly left-handed. The thing is I am right handed but I got used to flying w/ my left hand from flying in RL. (sitting in the left seat operating radios and such with right) So it's easy to fly the stick on the left and operate the kb and mouse on the right. I don't know why more sticks aren't ambi-dexterous - probably because they are trying to emulate fighter sticks and throttle setups. I don't really care to deal w/ a yoke since I really only have hands on the stick during takeoff and landing - which is a lot like airline flying. |

i have the cyborg evo wireless. it would be great except for the wireless part. it eats batteries like candy and tends to fall asleep if you don't movie it every so often. next i am getting a yoke and pedals to see how i will like them.
