Why this is actually a very good sim controller.
By Gwenna Laithland on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022
I find this setup to be as accurate as it can be both for the price and the experience. However I am going to address a lot of the complaints with my own opinions and maybe some people will find it helpful. #1: This yoke is not as out of the box ready as I expected. Try to keep in mind this product is for simulation purposes first and foremost. And it must be designed to be as compatible as possible along a wide variety of games and aircraft. If you are looking for a controller that accurately reacts to things like wind shear, gyro drift, and turbulence then you’re asking for a piece of equipment with motors and servos that costs in the thousands. Instead you have a yoke that uses spring tension to offer a baseline of resistance. #2: I don’t like how little the aileron axis reacts in game. This is a criticism by gamers who’ve never flown a real aircraft. (See above comment about the purpose of this yoke) in a real aircraft you use micro movements to correct your pitch and roll, especially in cable controlled non-hydraulic prop planes. I am a private pilot with non turbo single engine restrictions, meaning I can only fly small planes like Beechcraft Bonanzas and Cessnas. In my experience you deal with wind buffering on your control surfaces meaning you have constant feedback from the world outside your aircraft. This is very difficult to reproduce in a game. The truth is you’re complaining about the S-Curve logic in your game settings. Most flight sims will let you adjust this in game settings for a more personalized feel. Keep in mind if you want simulation you don’t want a major pitch and roll response for making small adjustments, you want slow gliding gradual responses, unless you’re flying a fighter jet. #3: The dead zones are too pervasive and it takes a lot of turning to engage the planes roll function. Also the axis will drift sometimes putting me in a perpetual roll. The drifting is corrected by the dead zones and they are completely adjustable both centered and externally. You can adjust these to precision to minimize drift. And again the dead zones are adjustable in most games. I use this yoke in Project Cars and gyro drift is very noticeable when going 200mph down a track, but again, it’s adjustable. #4: the hardware is cheap plastic and the mounts are flimsy. Even the mounts are adjustable. If you’re getting overexcited and pulling the yoke or throttle quadrant loose then you are not playing a flight sim you’re playing an arcade and maybe need a different control like the x56. For the price the hardware is just fine. These are my opinions. This is not to invalidate other’s opinions. It’s just how I feel about this product, especially in VR.

Junk Toy
By theenoid on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024
Logitec needs to just bow out and let the big boys make the toys. I've returned the racing wheel and now returning this Yoke. Not plug and play, It's plug and pray. Cheaply made. Outdated an confusing software. Why have 3 different software needed to run 1 yoke? Planes wouldn't fly straight. Trimming all the time! LED time clock quit in 48 hours of plugging it in. At the same time. Computer would no longer recognize yoke as a device. After several attempts, it occurred to me that this was exactly what was happening with the true force racing wheel. I want to PLUG and PLAY, not fight trying to keep the think running, who wants to spend this kind of money to have to fight to get it to work every time I attempt to use it. If you're buying it for a console, you might have better luck, but I wouldn't count on it. I'd say if you have the money, move up and avoid this junk.
