Pro Flight Yoke
by A Customer from Brisbane QL Australia 
Pros: Very accurate life like controls
Cons: Instructions are a bit sparce
Review: A great product and a perfect start to a lifelike flight simulator. With a little tweeking of the Microsoft flight simulator (trims) you have the nearest thing to real flying. For the first time pilot or the pro wanting to hone his IFR skills this is the best value on the market

Very good product
by Edwin from Bayamon PR USA 
Review: This product provides a very good experience while using your Flight Simulator program. The quantity of buttons is good enough to control most of the important functions in your plane. Highly recommended

Its a Nice Tool to have w/ FS
by A Customer from Buffalo Grove IL USA 
Review: This is a nice tool to have for flight sim, there is one thing that needs to be addressed, it works great at the default settings but when you assign different commands to the sys it tends to have a mind of its own.

Bottons Bottons Everywhere
by NWTech75 from Rosemount, MN 
Pros: Easy to use and set up. Multilple buttons make it easy to program a wide range of functions that you would otherwise need to use the key board for. Enables improved virtual cockpit management. Very smooth on the control inputs.
Cons: Sensativity with flt control defection has been a serioius challenge. The controls always reach full deflection before the yoke. The programing software could be a bit more user friendly, I've had a hard time figuring it out.
Review: The folks at Saitek did an outstanding job with this. The look and feel are close enough to fool the average user, and close enough to fool the mind of the student. The feel of the axis's is not what I expected, although I am not complaining. For all the hype that I had heard about the yoke I was expecting more. Never the less it still has met my expectations. As a student pilot I am constantly practicing. Having a yoke like this really makes a difference. I really enjoy the clock and stopwatch features. They really make a big difference when I am practicing a number of different procedures, like missed approach, holding patterns or calculating enroute fuel consumption. The yoke only has about 3 inches of travel in any direction which gives about a 3:1 ratio against the real thing. Don't let this fool you though, its really worth the money for the serious Sim Pilot or student Pilot. The included throttle quadrant allows for multiple set ups that can be configured in FSX Settings fairly easily in FSX.

by Michael from Mt. Juliet TN USA 
Pros: solid build. smooth movement on all controll axis
Cons: none
Review: This product was very easy to set up and get flying almost plug and play. It is being used with ms flight sim X. At the time I can find nothing that I dislike. It is preforming above expedtions.

This is a terrific simulation setup!
by Tyler from OK USA 
Pros: well made / yoke has metal shaft / easy to setup and take down
Cons: not owning it would be a con
Review: I own an iMac G5 with X-Plane 9 and the yoke and throttle setup work perfectly. I used to own a CH yoke and it smells like an old pair of socks compared to my Saitek controls. I'm an IFR pilot working on my commercial license and I can say for a fact that if you want tools for your sim to practice with this product is a great deal.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"
by A Customer from stillwater MN 
Pros: Very easy to use and learn your own controls you set up
Cons: N/A
Review: This product was the best joy stick i have ever used, it was ready to use out of the box. I am a real piolet and this is the closest thing to real flying.

Cons: None

This product was worth the short wait it took
by Jeanette from Haltom City TX USA 
Pros: easy to use, Just like inside an airplane
Review: I'm an aviator with 18+ years of experience. While nothing comes close to just 'cockpit' time, this really does. If I can teach myself how to open the file to simulate flying in IMC, I think I would be set. Thanks. R.M.

Fantastic and extra functional.
by Robert Emmer from Gainesville Fla 
Pros: Ease of use
Cons: No paper manual
Review: Out of the box great. I am in a professional pilot course and with the panel added makes my Cessna practice very realistic. I just finished flying several ILS approaches and an ADF approach and all was very smooth. Get the SST programming tool and have fun. We all have preferences and mine tend torwards the realistic. I went in and tweaked a little of the null zones and sensitivety and its like flying a real airplane. Saitek did a great job. I also used to 2 extra screws to mount my panel to the yoke. It doesnt budge. I hope Saitek can keep making cockpit add-ons. I'd buy them all. I bought the panel first but will get rudder pedals next. After that, I will start looking into a radio stack. Ummm Saitek:):)

by Mark from Waterloo NE USA 
Review: Its probably operator error but I haven't been able to get the outer two levers to work. Throttle works well and yoke has very realistic action. I have flown small planes and I was impressed.

works pretty good
by Ron from central NY 
Pros: feels more real than joystick
Cons: not much on software instuctions
Review: Flight yoke works very well. Took a little tweaking to get it to where was comfortable with it, all through FS. The only problem I had was the profile software has an issue with windows xp. Tried downloading it from saitek site and wasn't any better. Works ok without it. Have to go back to joystick for helocopters, uncontrollable with yoke. I have had a problem now and then with some controls on yoke. Unhooking the usb and reconnecting seems to fix it. Other than that I like it very much.

My sons biggest christmas surprise
by Pam from Laurys Station PA USA 
Pros: realistic equipment, non cumbersome and sturdy materials
Cons: none
Review: I purchased this for my 11 yr old son. He loves it. When he opened it up-the excitement was overwheming and he played all day on the computer not even wanting to go to his uncles for other presents that were coming his way. He enjoys the challenge of flight with each plane. I definitely recommend this to any one pre-teen thru adult who wants to experience the real art of flying.

LOVE IT!
by Big Lars from Central Florida 
Pros: Built nice, Looks great,peforms flawlessly!
Cons: The clock on the yoke doesn't work with my Mac
Review: I use this along with the rudder pedals with X-Plane. I use an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.5 ghz. This works right out of the box except for the clock on the yoke. I only get one mode and the timer only but I believe there is a fix for this somewhere out there.

by rbob from Hilo HI USA 
Pros: Well built and attractive
Review: See my review of Flight Sim X - I've put the yoke back in the box and am considering whether to buy a joystick instead, or just give it up. It's more the problem of the simulator than the yoke, but even so, I can't seem to set the yoke to give a smooth motion. Too much porpoising. And I'm a retired comm'l pilot and CFII, so it's not that I don't know how to fly.

by Noel from Bayamon PR USA 
Pros: Price is good
Cons: None
Review: I use the product all days and i'm very pleased.

Bells and whistles
by A Customer from Miami Florida USA 
Review: Very good. sturdy and installed on Vista very easily. The throttle quad is manageable and realistic enough. The flight yoke however, requires some advanced tuning to get that realistic displacement when changing pitch and bank. Once you get through that phase, it's sweet.

Absolutely! It will work with no problem and in fact comes pre-configured with basic controls for Flight Sim X.

This controller only ships with software used to set it up. If you need additional flight simulator software it would need to be purchased separately.

There are slots on the yoke to plug in additional controllers, however they would be able to interface as well by being plugged directly into the computer. USB connections are all the same, however we would not be able to say if it would be the same connection as your mouse uses (that could be either USB or serial).
