If you wish to experience the feeling of real flight with the controls and instrumentation of a real cockpit then the ch flight sim yoke will bring just that experience.
CH products flight sim yoke is one of the most popular flight sim yokes available so we decided to test it
by installing it is using FS 2004 on a windows XP operating system the box includes an installation CD 7
foot of cable and a very in depth guide the CD was a little outdated but the drivers software and even
the control manager and demo software is available for instant download from www.chprodcuts.com if you
find it necessary there is also a very good technical support link on the CD back to ch products for tech
support and install advice
button and throttle controls
most reviews of this product state that there are between 10 -20 buttons on this yoke i can state that there are actually 20 buttons in all
- There are four push buttons in diagram buttons 1, 2, 9, 10
- Two rocker switches with four positions switches 3, 4, 11 ,12
- Two toggles 5, 6 for the gears 7, 8 for the flaps
- Eight way POV, HAT switch the flight yoke incorporates five axes . this corresponds with the throttle ,prop and mixture as well as the role and pitch the small trim wheel on the left is fine elevator and pitch adjustment these switches can be programmed using the flight manager software in as many as 144 different ways
throttle prop and mixture controls
these are slide controls and are very firm and smooth to operate
the travel gear and flap switches are very short and precise. as you operate these switches they click
into position to confirm their action and center back upon release
the buttons on the right and left yoke handles are also firm and smooth we measured the flight yoke it
is exactly 12 inches wide and 13 3/4 deep in its neutral position the yoke is fitted to the worktop or
desk and is securely clamped with very secure clamps with firm rubber pads the unit will easily fit desks
or mount board from 1 inch to 2 1/4 inches
installation of this flight yoke with flight simulator 2004 using windows XP operating system
Iam happy to say the flight sim software it recognized the yoke and installed and even mapped the
buttons immediately you can rearrange the preferences via the flight sim s set up panel
the yoke was very precise and felt very similar to a real Cessna yoke even the resistance was very firm
good for cross country flying once we had got used to the position of the buttons the whole experience was
very enjoyable the eight position hat was great and makes flying patterns much easier and every thing was
in easy reach on the yoke so i had no need to touch the computer keypad at all the joystick is very
responsive and self centers just at the right point which again had a very real aircraft feel.
