![]() I use Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo Yoke and TQ for GAs, Boeing airliners and anything else that If I were trapped on a desert island with a computer and internet so I could play MSFS, I would want my yoke over anything else. It imparts the feeling of being in a cockpit from your home more than flying with a stick does (although, a HOTAS is significantly better than just a simple joystick for that immersive feel). ![]() ![]() It seems on paper like a stick controls the fun planes, and a yoke handles the boring ones… but in practice, a yoke is just more immersive. It takes a lot more time and effort to turn a yoke 180 degrees than to move a stick fully left or right… so you won’t be throwing a cabin full of people around with quick movements. But lately it is used for helicopters, small bush planes, stunt planes, war birds… and a LOT of fly by wire planes… a stick doesn’t really feel like you are a part of the plane, but it works for almost everything and there are some decent, affordable options.Ī yoke really allows for smoother inputs, so they are often used for GA and passenger planes. I almost always have a gamepad nearby for mouse over commands and for quick access to AP or pause, even when flying with stick or yoke.Ī stick was first used like a yoke, it connected to cables and whatnot and pulled the proper ailerons, rudder and whatnot. ![]() The gamepad uniquely makes for a decent mouse… and is great for flying from the couch. That said, the yoke will collect a lot of dust and take up space if you don’t use it. A decent joystick is plausibly cheaper, and a yoke really feels like a serious investment in the hobby. ![]()
