Logitech G Saitek Yoke system
Product description
The best-selling Yoke in the world.
The Pro Flight Saitek Yoke system is the most used flightsim yoke in the world. Whether you’re flying a small craft or a big airliner, the Saitek Yoke adds an extra dimension to your home cockpit, making virtual flying even more realistic.
Supremely accurate controls.
Thanks to its smoothly moving stainless steel axle, the yoke reacts extremely accurately, which makes flying a lot more comfortable. The Throttle Quadrant that comes with it lets you select the power settings (throttle, propeller and mixture) of your aircraft, but of course you can configure the three levers completely as you see fit.
Plug in and fly away.
When you have attached the set to your table or desk with the help of the practical desk clamps and have plugged in the USB cable, it’s only a matter of pushing the throttle forward and flying off. That’s because installation is not required, thanks to the plug-and-play set-up of the Yoke system. This allows the Saitek Yoke to work with most flight simulators, including Flight Simulator X (Steam Edition), X-Plane and Prepar3D.
Create profiles with its powerful software.
With more than 25 buttons and switch positions, the Saitek Yoke has more than enough options to have the essential functions of your aircraft at the tip of your fingers. But if this turns out to not be the case (or if you just want to create several profiles for different aircraft), Saitek’s STS software gives you the solution. With this powerful software and the mode switch on the yoke, the number of programmable functions can be expanded to a whopping 75!
The pros and cons of the Yoke.

FANTASTIESE ERVARING STUURT OPTIMAAL GOED WAS HET WACHTEN WAARD
Goed bestuurbaar stabiel aangenaam voor het vliegen
Prettige apparatuur, voelt goed aan. Het toewijzen van bepaalde functies zoals trim gaat niet soepel. Niet alle knoppen zijn in de handleiding duidelijk genoemd/ aangegeven voor mogelijke functies. Meer uitleg was welkom geweest.

Werkt perfect, mooi stabiel
Perfect om mee te vliegen.
Using this with Flightgear on a Mac - mainly on a Cessna 172. Speaking as someone who used to fly for real many years ago, It's good - better than flying with a joystick. but it could be better:
1) The centring springs are a little too strong. makes precise control near the yoke centres difficult (especially when landing!). May try the (reversible) mods published online to rectify this
2) As received, the dead zones are huge. This can be fixed to a large extent by installing the newest drivers (on a PC - there's no Mac of Linux dedicated driver) - after manually setting the dead zone it seems to be stored by the yoke firmware (so then works on a mac). This seems to reduce the dead zone to the built in play in the mechanism. There's other mods online that require soldering and an Arduino that are supposed to improve this furtherl.
3) Sometimes the yoke powers up with the midpoint 'off centre' - unplugging and replugging the USB seems to fix this.
Overall, i'm happy with it.
Zeer degelijke constructie, en daardoor redelijk realistisch. Eenvoudige installatie (tip: als je een Mac hebt en het tooltje USB overdrive gebruikt, schakel dit dan uit anders werken de controls niet!). Bonustip: mocht je toch een compatible power adapter voor de ingebouwde USB hub zoeken, dan is dit verreweg de beste en goedkoopste optie: (url_removed).
Werkt super en amuseer me rot met deze besturing. Net echt. Het enige wat ik niet kan doen werken is het kleine paneeltje met lcd scherm voor elevation trim, flaps and autopilot control. Maar dat ligt misschien wel aan mijn verouderde computer.
