The CH
Products Flight Sim Yoke USB is gives you the look and
feel of a real flight yoke. The plug-and-play yoke is
fully featured and gives you aileron control, elevator
control, 3 lever throttle quadrant and 9 action buttons
and levers to enable you to control a number of features
from your yoke such as gear, flaps, electric trim, views
and more.
Aileron & Elevator
As expected from a yoke, you get full elevator and
aileron control. The yoke gives you smooth gliding
action with a return to center mechanism. You can make
the finest control inputs and Flight Simulator 2004 will
respond accordingly. Electric trim feature on the left
hand yoke handle gives you another authentic feature for
trimming elevators. Please not that this yoke is NOT
force feedback. Unfortunately there are no force
feedback yokes available.
3 Lever Throttle Quadrant
As well as elevator and aileron control, it also
features a 3 lever throttle quadrant found in any
complex aircraft. The throttle quadrant features
Throttle, Prop and Mixture control.
A Quick Lesson For Beginners
If you’re an aviation beginner we’ll take a moment to
explain that in simple training aircraft such as a
Cessna 152 or 172, power is controlled by just one lever
– your Throttle. Once you go beyond this level of
aircraft to touring aircraft such as, say, a Cessna 182
or Piper Arrow, power control becomes a little more
complex where you are controlling both Manifold Pressure
(black lever) and Propeller speed (red lever). A pilot
manipulates both of these levers to create the required
power setting for cruise, climb, descent and landing.
Mixture is common to both aircraft types. With the CH
Flight Sim Yoke USB, the 3 lever throttle quadrant
enables you to fly complex aircraft in Flight Simulator
2004 properly – using Throttle and Prop. People who are
using CH Flight Sim Yoke USB simply love this feature.
Flying with a proper 3 lever throttle is the only way to
properly fly complex aircraft in Microsoft Flight
Simulator and the Flight Sim Yoke performs this function
beautifully.
Buttons & Levers Galore
Ailerons, elevators, throttle... all the basic features
are there but on top of all that the yoke lets you
control such features as raising and lowering landing
gear and flaps with levers dedicated to those functions.
The 4 way view hat switch lets you view around the
aircraft with a movement of your thumb and without
having to reach for your keyboard. This is great for
when turning onto final where you need to establish your
position relative to final by viewing out the left
quadrant view.
Another feature you'll find in a real aircraft is
electric trim. While the yoke has a coarse elevator trim
wheel, the electric trim rocker lets you trim up or down
as you need to to trim for your attitude.
