Classic British Flight Sim

https://www.flightsimwebshop.co.uk/hone ... trols.html


There has been a lot of good reviews on this yoke and have been looking for something to replace my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for a few months now and after reading the reviews and watching videos I decided this was one to go for and coupled with a 5 year warranty I am very much looking forward to it arriving soon.

I know there are others such as the Fulcrum as Paul had pointed out and also the Yoko but both of these are a tad too much for my wallet especially as next year, I will be looking at buying a virtual reality headset.

I was going for the Rift 'S' this year but on hearing that the Oculus Quest hand tracking will be released early next year I am waiting to see if it will work in X-Plane 11 as well as other platforms and if so, it will be amazing to be able to just use your fingers instead of a controller. If not then it will be back to plan A.

Oooh, I like the magneto switch, Nigel!
Throttle quadrant etc. look good, but out of my budget, even in 2020.

Let us all know how you get on with it please.

Hi Mike, the only thing about the magneto switch is that it is for a single engine aircraft, don't know how it will work with twin props but guess you can select 1 and 2 engine with a keyboard stroke. As for the throttle quadrant I have the CH Throttle Quadrant which will do nicely.

Let us all know how you get on with it please.

Certainly will Simon, I have found out that there are drivers for this yoke that support P3d and FSX, with X-Plane 11 no drivers are needed as the sim already supports the Honeycomb. Will install the drivers which can be obtained here: https://flyhoneycomb.com/drivers/

Expecting delivery tomorrow and may be sometime around the weekend that I will post my thoughts as will need to assign new commands to it for FSX.

Regards
Nigel.

Austin Meyer (XP) gets quite animated about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlkHh9zlxIk

This fellow does quite an in depth largely +ve review upon it. https://www.youtube.com/user/keysounddotcom/videos

Personally I would get one too if I didn't already have the Saitek Cessna version but cannot possibly risk the ire and derision from you know who. "you want what?" It seems we are getting a new stove instead and the living room needs decorating.

I hear Aeronautical motif is all the rage.
