Ever since joining your channel my level for flight sim just goes up & up. You put across such passion & professional presentation skills that makes me want to invest & gain a good standard of flight simulation. I would seriously consider this set up but am limited by desk space. I have taken the track ir 5 path thanks to you & the way i now approach this hobby is making it just simply so absorbing & therapeutic for me. I said it before & it needs saying again you are such a valuable addition to this hobby, i thank you.

I'm already saving for it... I'll tell my wife it was 200 bucks..

I love how I keep watching your yoke reviews when I mainly play Rise of Flight! Nice reviews Froogle.

Great Review Froogle! You have now convinced me to save up for this in the future! Sounds Amazing!

Froog I'm really glad you reviewed this. I have the throttle quadrant and just bought it for Christmas. I have not set it up and after watching your video I'm excited to check it out. My only regret now is that I did not buy the yoke too. I went with Saitek b/c I wanted the extra buttons and switches. I need to rethink that now.

I've replaced the strings on my CH Product Eclipse yoke. The idea came when I saw a video where you could use rubber bands to 'smooth' the movements, but I used heavy duty springs instead of the default ones. On my throttle quadrant I used a metal strip on each lever to make it a bit harder to move the levers. I also did some other modifications to the yoke and quaddrant to make them heavier in terms of weight. The yoke shaft I filled with lead using a lead casting set I borrowed from a friend which uses it to cast bullets for older (musket) fire arms. I also used solid lead strips to add weight. The added weight really does improve the handling of the yoke. FSUIPC with its axis parabolic curves is ideal to give your yoke some 'power steering'. Very subtle movements near the center (ideal for lining up with a runway), but almost an aileron roll when you turn it sideways.. The money I saved on pricier hardware I have used to buy myself a airbus radio module from OpenCockpit which gives me a COM,NAV and ,ADF radios (ideal when flying on vatsim to change frequencies) and I also bought the 737MPC module from OpenCockpits. Maybe in the future after I won the powerball I will buy a more realistic yoke and throttle systems, but if you replace these two controls, shouldn't you also be replacing your rudder controls?

Excellent review Froogle. I saw an ad for these and came to youtube seeking a review. As usual, you've answered my question before I even asked it. Too bad I missed the offer code on it (expired I guess), but goflight is doing a 20% off their whole store from 15-JUN - 21-JUN for father's day. Maybe I'll splurge. Have a great one and thanks again!

Great review. Very informative. Enjoyed it very much.

Those are amazing additions to a flight sim enthusiast like me....I wish to have those someday

Very impressed with review as usual. Looks like a good product though some of the comments do point out some issues but I can see a to/ga button would be very difficult to include, there will alway be some limitation unless you build a true to life home cockpit but that would limit you to one aircraft and I have several favourites. Not sure if I want to afford it or not but going to check out the offers.

Thanks for the review Froogle! I am thinking of upgrading from my Saitek Pro Yoke. What I hate about my Saitek yoke is the center flat dead spot It has in the elevator axis. Does GF Yoke have such an issue?

How's this yoke compared to the IRIS Control loading yoke?

I have had the throttle quadrant for just over a year and cannot recommend it at all unfortunately. The build quality is not matched by the price. For me: 1. The plastic sleeves the handles sit in are becoming loose from swapping out the handles. They are a total pain to tighten too. 2. I tried to install the 737 handles (paid extra for, BIG mistake) which were awful and kept dropping down to idle under their own weight. Sent back at large cost, came back tightened before becoming loose again. Decided to go back to the original handles. On removing the 737 handles I could see GoFlight had poorly hot glued a lot of the plastic sheaths inside. A real botch job. 3. The handles do wobble and can scrape the case especially as the sheaths loosen. 4. Without the clamp, the velcro is useless at holding down the quadrant. Had to create a custom pedestal solution to screw it onto. 5. The reverse buttons can be activated when applying full throttle which is a bad design and gets old quickly. I know I sound negative but they are charging a lot and I have been extremely disappointed at the quality. The benefit of having had a year's use shows that my Saiteks (6 years old) are more reliable. Unfortunately Froogle won't have the benefit of using them extensively to really test them. Maybe mine is an isolated situation but their forums suggest otherwise.

Great review. Decided I'm gonna take the plunge.... Order underway!

Very good review, thanks.

I think I'll stick to my X 55 :D. My wife would kill me if I bought this lol

thinking about getting one of these or a yoko the yoke... witch would you recommend for the money?

Very nice review! Only thing I don´t like is smooth flaps lever. Don´t mater if its set-able or not. Really love idea about mouse joy and head mover. Thanks for nice video!

I've got the CH yoke and the thing that really bugs me is the roughness of the shaft and how it causes 'stiction' and hence jerky elevator control. Froogle I've think you've answered this question when you said how good you're landings were, but I'd like a bit more detail on the 'feel' of the elevator control was

I tried this yoke at two different flight simulation fares in Europe and I confirm that the feeling to fly with it is really great. I feels like a true airliner yoke, very high end. The only thing, really the only thing which annoys me a little bit is the rather small degree of rotation for banking that this gorgeous yoke offers. If you own a Saitek Pro Flight yoke and you are happy with it, then go for the Go-Flight one because it has the same rotation angle capacity than the Saitek Pro Flight but it feels much much better (beware if you own the Saitek Cessna yoke which has a much wider bank rotation capacity, it may well disturb you because of the big difference). And it has to feel better because it does cost much more too, but once you tried it you'll probably agree that it's really worth it's price. Top notch build quality for this yoke. But that is not what I think of the Go-Pro throttle, I find that it really feels cheap and flimsy. Even if I do believe Go-Pro that it's probably not cheap to build in small quantities, but for me it doesn't even match the Saitek throttle. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but in this case I have a very strong feeling that I don't like this throttle at all.

Hi froogle, Can u make a video how to set up the go flight throttle TQ6. I bought the advance one and it's kind of shaky on and not stable. Thank u

I'm 11 and have a Saitek "first flight" I am saving up for this. In at about 300 so hoping I can get this for Christmas

Hey froogle. looking to get this yoke in the near future. I've watched the review a few times but don't recall you saying if it has a center detent or not like the saitek yoke. Does it have one? Thank you!

Looking for a new yoke , what is the best choice. YOKO Yoke or thos GO-FLIGHT system? is compatible to Prepar3d?

great detailed review

I have the CH stuff and although it works and I have it set just the way I like it, it is still a cheap plastic toy with some wiring inside. I would pull the trigger in an instant if I didn't have other priorities (i.e TrackIR, more RAM, etc) but this is on my list of upgrades, just not at the top. And I would buy it based on just this review, without even trying it out because of the trust I have in your opinions. Thanks for the great review!

Would be a dream come true to have these and I have nothing against paying for quality but these great products are just way too pricy. Yet I like it alot this kind of professional level gear is available for the simmers.

I wonder about that mouse pointer, whether or not ease of use correlates well with mobile phone usage, as that's a thumb-intensive activity (even more so with phones where a keypad or physical keyboard is used to text). If it wasn't $700 I'd say test it on a teenager.

Froogle, another great , informative video, thanks. I am looking at getting a replacement set of yokes/ throttles, when I started flying again after Christmas 15, I bought the Saitek yoke and throttle set. I have since progressed onto bigger more complex aircraft, and would like to have more realistic controls, having just one throttle lever, a mixture lever etc, for a multi engine jet, kinda misses some thing. Its great for light use, but as you get more into it, and serious about it, flying for a Vitrual airline I think the investment into better quality kit is going to be a part of that. but the cost, has to be justified. I think the Saitek kits is good value, but has a life, and I can not currently buy another 3 lever throttle quadrant, to add to the one I already have so I'm considering a better set up. The Go Flight kit might be a good step up. Also cross platform compatibility is important, with both FSX/P3D and X-plane on my system, it needs to be easily configurable. Thanks for the info, and inspiration : )

I can see the mouse.... thingy to be a great thing to have for the checklists on the T7.

Great review now I want it!!!

how do you get the 737 to have the KLM look?

I would love that set for my home built "Hybrid" cockpit, but it's simply our of my price range. Doesn't mean that I enjoy flight simming any less.

Will throttle work with the Saitek yolk

Before this video I really valued my Saitek yoke. I look at my Saitek yoke now as a toy or something. I want GoFlight so bad.

Great review! I have some money saved up, and I would love to spend it on this! However, I think I should save it for real-life time building...

You didn't mention any feedback system for the unit. You reviewed the kick-start yolk system with feedback. How does this unit compare to your first impression of that unit?

Can you review the new GoFlight VantEdge Yoke, which is way more affordable

Thanks for the review, Pete! Out of curiosity, are the trim switches on the real 737 NG yoke set up as yours (righ-elevator, left-aileron) ?

Does it work with P3D v3 ? Does not mention on GoFlight website !

Anyone had the ace b737 desktop yoke and goflight? And If so whats the difference? Rly struggling choosing between this goflight b737 yoke and ace b737 desktop version one.

What about sensors? Potentiometers, hall effect...?

I would love for you to get your hands on a PFC yoke and get your impressions of it vs the Go flight. I have had a PFC for years and it is the best yoke I have ever used. I actually prefer it to the force loaded yokes used in the Redbird Simulators

Hey guy's, I'm looking for an x-plane addon aircraft to fly multi-engine on. I will be getting my multi-engine rating in real life on the piper seminole and was looking for something in the same category. Does anybody have any good suggestions? Thanks!

Hey Froogle. So my question to you is, did you end up buying the GoFlight gear? Personally, I am on the fence about saving up for this. I just (relatively) recently made the switch from a joystick to a yoke and rudder set up (saitek) and I do enjoy them (apart from the yoke being sticky sometimes) but this just looks like it's on a whole other level. I most likely won't be able to use your discount code unfortunately, unless it's a permanent code. But it's something I'm seriously considering.

Many thanks for the helpful and comprehensive unboxing and review. Do you, by chance, have the dimensions of the cabinet? I have not been able to identify such specifications on-line. I am considering replacing a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with this unit. My present yoke is mounted to my full scale simulator and need to be sure this will fit into my mounting system. I enjoy your channel and the leadership you provide for our hobby.

I am a bit of a saddo who would spend loads of money on sim gear but I'm afraid this does not look worth the money. I would want variable reverse thrust, proper trim switches, some kind of autothrottle disconnection or TO/GA switch and a proper clip on there for that kind of cash. Does it have a PTT trigger on the back like a real 737? If it does that is one thing in its favour. To me this is just a metal Saitek yoke with an enhanced feel. Excellent that you showed it to us though Froogle so thank you.

This is a similar consideration I had in my other simulator hobby - sim racing. Can I justify buying a Fanatec Clubsport wheel system or should I just get a Logitech G27? In the end I went for a Fanatec and I am very happy with it. The Go Flight products look fantastic and they are both on my shopping list. I would be interested in you reviewing some of the other Go Flight modules. Go Flight - Froogle deserves some Christmas gifts!!!

Thank you for video

Nice review Froogle. Froogle and viewers, I have some questions... Since the skyrocketing price of the original FSX, I've gone with X-Plane10 Global. I've gone with the Saitek pro flight yoke and throttle. Good for entry level I see. I need so,e payware global hd scenery, recommendations? I've done research in it and come up not very abundant in info.. Also, any must have pay ware? Thanks guys 😃

What was it like to have the flaps lever on a smooth continuous axis? (...as opposed to the "notched" lever on real aircraft) Did this take some getting used to?

Can you combine GF-Pro´s throttle with Saitek´s yoke and rudder padels?

I will be happy to buy it but too expensive 750$ for yoke!

guys is there a reason why i cant play fsx gold edi in windows 8.1?...every time i tried the result was an error due to incopatability with direct x 9...seems strange...Any help? thnx in advance

Would you recommend the yoke for flying a cessna?

I absolutely love simming - but I simply don't have enough money to spend on things like this.

Yo froogle could you do a review on fsx steam edition

Does it work with Mac? Can you take off the reverser levers? And does the flaps and spoiler levers work? Thanks great video

If I remember correctly, the yoke and throttle quadrant is on loan from go-flight (such a tease). So...the big question is, are you going to buy them?

I would get it if I didn't have to pay for real flight time. I really want it but right now I have to spend the money on other things. I'm so jealous of froogle

Salut Froogle !! Tu es de loin le meilleur pilote virtuel de tous les temps et encore plus un génie si tu arrives à lire ce commentaire en Français...je suis super fan !!:)

Makes you wanna sim so hard! !!

Regarding your comments around 2:10 (hat mini joystick), that looks like it was ripped straight out of a ps3 controller. Anyone who plays consoles will be an expert with that, as that same motion is used in shooter games with the right thumb 100% of the time. However, clicking in on the stick is usually mapped to an auxiliary function, and the fire/mouse click should be a button on the back for this. Or two so you could have both left and right click. You could have the hat center click default be return to center.

Okay in response to your question I would if I had the money to. I do have a good paying job but like most people I have a mortgage, car payments, utility bills, etc. etc. In addition I also have other projects that I am saving up for. (Mainly my IFR certification and a multi engine certification... yes in a real airplane. I already have a private pilots license but I feel it would help me out to earn both of those)

I'm saving froogle but for iris dynamics yoke. I think if I'm already spending that much I want it to be force feedback. Since you have seen that can you please do a similar video with the iris dynamics yoke. I want to know what you think about it before I make the purchase.

Thx

I've been using the Go-Flight Yoke for a couple of weeks and found elevator control is a little sticky (friction) which makes one handed flaring a bit tricky. Any suggestions as to how i may overcome this problem?

You would be really surprised how much force it requires to move the yoke in real 737. Probably GF-Pro Yoke gives you an idea how it really works and one day when getting your TR on B737 you won't be that much surprised as I was.

I whould save my money for it for shure! But i shaming for my sim computer i gues thats the first step

Is the Throttle compatible with P3D?

I'm very dedicated to my sim, the only problem is that I'm 14. I can't afford just yet. But if I could, I would buy it.

if I was able to buy i would it looks really cool but i don't so I may save up til I can afford it, it wouldn't be on my first to save up for list

I want it!

I'm very satisfied with my saitek yoke, but this looks awsome*.* P.S.: Even as an airbus fan i would buy this, if I could afford it^^

Sold!

Do you prefer This throttle or a Saitek dual throttle quadrant?

I've just spent 59€ in a Logitech joystick. Don't need all that stuff (but obviously I'd like to have it O.o)

Hi Frooggle,I am due to take my decision in purchasing this quadrant, but some reviews on the web are very negative regarding the following: - Noisy mechanism - USB devise not always detected by Windows while launching- Inflight disconnection of the quadrant requiring unplugging and re-plugging the device - Device not reliable, only few axis still work after one year usage...These reviews are dated in 2013 and 2014...What is your opinion, honestly?Thanks for arguing and advising...CheersBruno

wish you had told us that to work best you need 3rd party software

The throttle levers don't look very sturdy. You can see them moving sideways when you touch them. Edit: you addressed that later on in the video. But still, I wish I had one of those. :)

Does go flight delivers rudder padels aswell?

Just a viewer's opinion, it would have been much more beneficial seeing you flying with them instead of talking; you did a great job at selling it though!

"They're very solid, very study and require quite a whack" - Frooglesim 2014

lol some stuff for flight sim can get so expensive you can just go get a cheap c-152 ! :D

The yoke is so nice but Damn ! It's expensive :(

bro the throttle i could get a sitek to look better for cheaper

_'it is a very heavy spring'_? So I assume it still doesn't come with force feedback, does it? Not my cup of tea at all then.

..nice review, but I think that for those that are in the market for expensive gear, I assume they are expecting more on the technology/ mechanism inside the box and of course more in depth compression with it's rival the PFC and the new "Kid" the Force Feedback by Iris, after all spending such $$ wil force to stick to those devices for long long time

That is so fucking cool! I want it!

This can compare to logitech extreme 3d pro ?? Hahaha

I think the moaners watching these vidz are just jealous, froogle does a great job leave the man be, simples.

Hi Froogle, I thoroughly enjoyed this review and as a result i have bought the starter kit that includes TQ6 and yoke. So I wanted to set up the TQ with levers A&B as throttles, C&D as prop control, E&F as mixture, for flying light singles, twins and both the Caravan and F1 King Air. Now that i tried setting them up yesterday I find that the 2 reverse levers only go on B&D!! What a pain as i want them on A&B. So i wrote GoFlight this morning and quickly received a reply from tech support. I asked that they ship me one configured my way, and i would return the one I have. No dice. I can ship in back and they will do that for $75; or they will send me instructions on how to do it, and void the warranty. I am not a happy camper at this point after investing more that $1k.

If you didn't have this given or loaned to you Could you actually justify buying this stuff?????

I Will buy this. I Have the money. Im 16. Im going to be a pilot for comersial Airlines in less then 10 years.

After 7 years with Saiteks and a very good experience with GF Modules , I had a high expectation ..... got a set and I already regret. Though it is metal it is flimsy contraction Levers way to long they rubbing & scrapping against the sided and kind of rattling Moving the levers up and down is not smooth you actually feel the springs they do not feel solid and ,definitely, not something close to the RW My conclusion: keep your Saiteks wait for Xmass and get yourself PFC set ....

I will say the same as I said to go flight they are to expensive for the level of realism I love the look of the throttle quad and you can buy the 737 handles to go with it too which is great but the flaps are all wrong and for that priced you might as well use a saitek with bolt on look a like handles and pay an 8th of the cost. The reason I say this is because if you compare it to the go flight MCP and EFIS units which I have I got all 3 for 800 dollars the closest MCP was cp flight and for the MCP alone you are looking at 1000 dollars with less functionality than the go flight or for a complete replica cp flights MCP pro at 1400 dollars I thought the go flight had all the functionality I needed and looked great just not a replica compare that to there TQ and go flight are way of on price and realism

Yoke hell yeah, throttle quad mmm not so much

Hey froog fsx is on steam check it out let us know what you think thank keep up the good job

Have no ideal on how to get with you Froogle. Still upset with my Saitek Rhino's on getting them set up. Am very upset with their support. Going on three months with no play and a wife that feels that she has screwed me up with my gaming. And I see that there are others in the same boat.

WHY SO EXPENSIVE!!
