As no 5V 1.5A power supply is enclosed in the original flight yoke package, you can not use the system. In denmark we use power supplies with round "legs" opposed to UK and USA where square legs are used. I have not been able to find/purchase an adapter/power supply, which fit into the yoke. Is the necessary power supply available at all outside the UK and USA, in which case the flight yoke with accessories are totally useless in most of Europe, or is it just me who is wrong. Any suggestions or help pls as to solve my problem with the power supply??? Morten

Ok I'm just going to say I absolutely love how his accent makes everything seem extremely positive, great review extremely helpful!

Good to see you reviewing again, another enjoyable honest review, I have the same yoke system although I haven't been doing much sim flying recently. Happy new year! - PS Love the opening logo.

Just bought one of these on Newegg! Can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the review

Thank you for your review. Very enlightening as I decide which yoke to get for the new MS FS 2020

Good, honest review. I'm sold on this yoke system now knowing the dead zone issue can be fixed. You should consider upgrading to a bigger monitor if you want even better immersion before spending 1k pounds on that top of the line yoke you mentioned getting some day. I upgraded from a 27 inch to 32 and the difference is stunning.

I have the Saitek version. Mine has a like a slight "sandy" feel when pushing forward/pulling backward. It has been a great unit - reliable and does the job. Looks like Logitech has fixed it. I've flown real planes and proper airline simulators, admittedly it does feel like a toy in comparison. The price point I'm not complaining. To complete my setup I purchased the Thrustmaster T-Flight pedals separately (on special 1/2 price at $99AUD), I originally wanted to buy the Saitek/Logitech pedals worth $250AUD. Whole setup is 3 years old.

I just got addicted to MS Flight Sim 2020. I will most likely buy this soon and thank you for the review.

I just got mine and I LOVE it. I was flying with a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS and it was so squirrely it was impossible to do any precision flying. I just made a video where I took off and landed frim the smallest airport in the world. I NEVER could have done that with the Cougar, the precision required would have had me crash. I bought the Yoke, MFD panel, and the switch panel for the cost of the Honeycomb Yoke. I highly recommend it for people who are just getting into Flight Simulator like me.

Honest review thank you!

5:14 you just have to put the dead zone to 0 and logitech have there own app and you can change the senstiy

Thanks. Very useful. This will be more than sufficient for a newbie.

Excellent review mate - just bought mine and now waiting for FS2020. Just a point on the dead zone, as someone who has flown quite a few light aircraft, I don't necessarily think that that is a negative or a bad thing. Most 152's and especially the Traumahawk have fairly sloppy controls, especially due to age as rod and cable systems tend to develop some play on them. Do a crosswind landing and you will be moving those controls quite aggressively - if you can get used to that in a sim then that is a big win in my books.

I recently purchased this yoke, managed to find it in stock and went for it. It's good, it does feel very very cheap and plastic, extremely light to what I thought it would be. But 100% more immersive compared to a joystick. Been using it for a few hours and it's a bit tricky to get used to coming from the joystick.

I have two of them .Had them for 3 years.Modded both of them.Extended the the yoke on both 6 inches and used the rubber band mod on both.Almost as good as a yoko yoke.

This thing looks perfect for what I'm planing on doing. Hope to get one when they are back in stock.

I am still using the Hotas like you have, but I am considering this one, as long as the dead zone can be fixed with software, then I will probably get it

For some reason I just got into flight games again, and now I’m considering one

Thank you for information about dead zone, its an important issue for me. And if i didnt hear it, i would be bought and have to send back this product just for that.

thanks for the review

Sorry for the long winded text below, but if you are a flight simulation pilot and a aviation enthusiast or wanting to make that next step into real world operations, I felt it was important to share my experience, on the flight simulation side of things. As a longtime user for the Saitek yoke I got about 3 years of functionality out of it, and then the dead zones and such just where too much to be functional anymore. I gave up on the unit and use my X52 HOTOS System until I finally was able to buy the honeycomb flight yoke recently. Because now I have extended experience with the old Saitek flight yoke and about two weeks in with the honeycomb yoke, if you can afford it, do not waste your time and money on the Saitek yoke system (I do not know how to stress that enough). It is night & day difference between the two, and the extra $85.00 USD you spend on the honeycomb is well worth it and far superior. Yes you do not get a throttle quadrant, but I would go as far as saying using a keyboard if you had too, for throttle operations or by a USB saitek throttle quadrant as you're stepping stone to the honeycomb throttle quadrant that will be out sometime this year (rumor has it, the 25th of May 2020). I'm serious when I say the yoke from a honeycomb is that much better. Yes, your trade off of not having a throttle quadrant out a box, is switches that you get with a honeycomb aircraft start operations along with lighting. Now in my case, I kept the old yoke and I'm using the throttle quadrant and disabled all the axises and buttons on the saitek flight yoke. Also I had another throttle quadrant that I bought originally with the saitek yoke system knowing that I would be doing twin engine operation. Over time I bought the rudder pedals which is I'm still using to this day that functions with no issues, and a Saitek Cessna nose trim. I highly recommend after buying honeycomb yoke, the next must have item is rudder pedals. This way you can develop your skills in coordination with your feet along with using the turn coordinator on the dash, as you do in the real aircraft. Don't get me wrong, they throttle quadrant is important, but not as important as rudder pedals. I am looking forward with the release of the honeycomb throttle which will give you functions from single piston engine operation, all the way up to four engine jet operations. Along with nose wheel trim, autopilot functions, gear lever and flap operations. Yes you'll be spending $250 USD on this throttle, but it replaces saitek nose wheel trim, most of the functions of the saitek multifunction panel which is autopilot operations. Nose wheel trim was $99.00 USD and multifunction panel was $149 USD new. With a single throttle quadrant from saitek is $99.00 USD. That's roughly $350 USD with the saitek equipment, whereas the throttle quadrant from honeycomb does most of the functions with one unit (and more importantly one USB connection) for $250. Not to mention, the saitek drivers for the multifunction panel (autopilot operations) has not been updated since 2017, and as a X-Plane 10 & currently 11 user, the drivers are not very reliable, from my personal experience. So to sum up, buy what ever rudder pedals you wish. Hands down, honeycomb yoke & throttle quadrant are the better way to go and after doing the math are cheaper, For multi engine operation. Cheers to you all and happy flying Dion Markraf aka: Dionsol X-Plane pilot since 2015 (flight simulation pilot since 1981) sublogic days on a commodore 64 :) KZfaq: #Dionm01

Hoping to use this for the new microsft flight sim 2020 thanks!

thank you, just bought one

i've ordered one with rudders. looking forward to it

Thanks for the review :) I've just purchased the yoke and throttle set and it should arrive tomorrow - so I'm glad I've made a purchase which seems to have good reviews. I intend to use with my oculas rift and xplane - I notice you have a rift too, are you happy with the setup? does it work OK in VR - what settings would you recommend? - thanks Mike

Great review, thanks! Think you've convinced me, I'm getting back in to X-Plane and want to learn how to fly properly (especially in time for FS2020!), but I'm currently restricted to a (cheap and bad) Xbox controller, so this would be a big upgrade! One question - I am thinking of getting the yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedal package, and I was wondering if the pedals are worth it? I realise you don't have them, so my question is how is the experience without pedals? Do you feel like they are needed at all? Seeing as they add another £100+ pounds in to the mix and that I'm only a beginner, I'm wondering if I should get them also or just the yoke and throttle. Thanks :)

A good review, however, I recently purchased a couple of these yokes and i find it impossible to make small precise pitch shifts around the center detente. Unfortunately this is the most important area of the whole elevator shaft. Flaring for landing is almost impossible. You will try to pull back gently on the yoke to flare but nothing will happen due to the spring detente - you have to pull harder to overcome the resistance and then suddenly the nose will jerk upwards causing a stall . Taking off is similar - when trying to gently rotate - nothing happens due to the resistance - pull harder to overcome the resistance and you have pulled too hard on the stick - stall warning.The settings you have shown in game to adjust sensitivity do help in flight but taking off is difficult and landing is nigh impossible. In order to fully use this yoke it is necessary to remove, as minimum, the center detente mechanism and replace with simple rubber bands as show in many KZfaq videos. It makes an incredible difference. The dead zone issue does not seems to be as much of a problem now especially in MSFS 2020 - you can cater for it but the sticky detente, in the most important area of the elevator shaft, makes it unusable in its original state in my opinion.

Bought it a while ago and was just recently wishing I would have gotten the honeycomb a lot higher quality ECT but also $100 more. Still gets the job done tho :)

hi bud thanks for a great vid

Thanks for the video mate, my yoke comes gets shipped in this weekend..... can't wait. Can you link the device you are using at 9:45 please. I've never seen something like that but am interested.

Actually, I believe you can decrease that deadzone by increasing the setting ‘null zone’ in FSX itself.

Thank you so much ! I found the review very interesting and helpful. I've been trying to get into flight simulators for a while, but i've found myself with no time to document about any good yoke, since playing on a stick is horrible in my oppinion. Right now, i am waiting for this yoke to be in stock again on the logitech website. Any ideas where to buy them from except the Logitech's site ? Thank you very much.

Great video, I bought this yoke as well as the official rudders (just got the last set before Logitech sold out) a couple weeks ago and just received it today. Have you had any trouble with the mode switch personally? I'm using the official FSX profile on Logitech's website and for some reason I can't seem to get the yoke buttons to switch modes! They always just perform the same function no matter what. Do you have any advice?

Nice video, I'm planning to build home cockpit soon, but am not sure about layout. Is it possible to be in VR with yoke and throttle, and still use keyboard and mouse cursor like in classic fsx? It seems to me that those VR hand things arent that practical. Best regards!

I'm sure hoping the one i have coming in time for FS 2020 is as smooth as yours in the video

I've got a question which I'm hoping to find an answer to because I'm about to go buy one of these. I'm worried I won't be able to use it because of how thick my desk is. The desk you're using looks to me to be about 2/3 of the thickness of mine so I reckon mine is about a half thicker than your desk is, will I be able to clamp it with that screw?

Excellent review. How is that thing that you attach to the headphones to follow the head movement called please?

Hi! Quick question. I know this is for civilian style planes but could I use this with something IL2 Sturmovik Great Battles and use it for combat simulation too?

@Huddison I've flown a Cessna for about 3 hours, I mean the real thing. I'm anticipating FS 2020 with much anticipation and wondered if you can tell me how the weighting feels? Is it just spring return? Thanks in advance.

I was originally going to get this until I saw the honeycomb alpha and bravo then I got the Virpil commander rudders

That's cool. Maybe the next you need to upgrade is your monitor, some ultra wide display will get you nice FoV.

thanks. i will get one of them. it looks cool

Really want a yoke syste. for my birthday but seem no body care 🤣.. Need to start saving by my self hope cam get it next year..

Hey buddy! Just wanted to know if this yoke can connect and work on Xbox? Great vid BTW!

What did you call the light sensor that caused the screen to move with head movement. I heard D-line clip but that does not produce the desired result in a google search.

Thanks for the review. I just have a quick question. Does calibrating the sensitivity of the yoke not help with the dead zone?

I plan on getting this to fly boeings and light aircraft on fs2020, but the throttle quadrant says it has a ps2 connection. Can you tell me if that connects to yoke or directly to PC? My pc doesn't have a ps2 port...

There's often more of a dead zone when flying a real Cessna yoke than in a sim.

Amazing review! Whats the thing that can connect the throttles called?

hi. yeah so like i want to get honeycomb and it's apparently better but it's not in my budget so ill get this and maybe in a few months ill get honeycomb thanks for the review

Hey! I loved your video, and I recently got interested in the aviation-flight simulator industry. I’m a new beginner, looking for a immersive experience for planes. Would you reccommend this as a starting area? I usually prefer Boeing planes. Also, can you put the amazon link to the yoke aswell? Thanks.

It seems like there is considerable latency between the movement of the yoke and the response of the aircraft... This doesnt seem to be the case with my cheap logitech flight stick... Does that bother you at all?

does it get damage if I just unplug it after using it? do I have to shut down the computer first? What do you think? thanks in advance.

Hey! Great vid! Quick question, do you know if this will work for flight sim 2020?

other than honeycomb yokes and this one what good quality yoke do you suggest?

Another question: How do you use rudder if you don't have pedals?

it is not to stiff if any thing they should put in game controller feed back because when your actually in a climb attitude in a real aircraft you can barely hold on to the yoke with one hand for over a minute without a bit of trim lol

I think it’s cheaper under Logitech than it was before Logitech bought Saitek in 2016. I have actually flown the Cessna 172 in real life and this is a great simulator substitution. It is great for Microsoft and X plane as well. As far as DCS, your HOTAS doesn’t cut it.? You need the X-56 or Warthog.

I was wondering if you don’t have the rudders can you still taxi or take off ok or do you need them? Like if you were to just buy the yoke and power thing would you be fine?

can you recommend the honeycomb yoke as a first yoke?

You should check out the yoke from Honeycomb Aeronautical, it blows this out the water

You said it cost £117? where did you get it from because everywhere i look its about £140?

Hi there, Great video, am thinking of getting one of these but can I run this with Microsoft flight simulator 2004?

Is rudder pedals are required for this for yawing, as control yoke only provides roll maneuvering..!?

Now that Microsoft Flightsimulator 2020 is available have you used your Logitech yoke on FS 2020?

Do you have pedals? If not, how do you steer on the ground?

How do you rudder the aircraft without PEDALS?? i really want to buy the yoke but dont have money right now for the pedals and really dont want to buy in the future. I use a saitek x56 hotas, just sold it and bought the new logitech YOKE, but im struggling with rudder pedals!

Is it correct that the yoke has 45 degrees of movement to each side when rolling? How does that compare to what you'll find in a c172, 737 or similar? Do most aircraft also have 45 degrees to each side, or do they have more? Does this effect the immersion in any way? Thanks :)

The turning radius of this Yoke sold me onto a Honeycomb Yoke for my FIRST ever Simulator controller.. Spent $520 (after taxes) for a flight Simulator yoke and I just got the game 3 days ago.. Still waiting on it to come in the mail and can't hold my patience.

Attention! Literally two hours ago my apartment would have burned down if I wouldn't have been standing right next to the Yoke... I haven't used it that much in the last time... But I've always taken good care of my things, so this didn't happen because of poor handling... I was just installing the new FS2020 and plugged in my Saitek yoke while waiting... Just to see if it worked... I noticed no lights coming on when plugging it in to my USBs... After a minute I started to smell burned cables and felt heat developing inside the case... Immediately unplugged it and opened it up to see if there were flames already... Luckily not...But what I saw was that the electronic cirquit had been drowned in hot glue (I bought it new and it was never opened before) which probably caused heat to stow... I'm gonna send the evidence to Saitek and see what they say... Just for you folks, don't leave the thing plugged in when you are not around. (I have experience in firefighting btw... So I know what burned cable smells like)

I brought one in the u.s.a. that's where I'm at. I be using it more On Tuesday The 18th on Flight SIM 2020!

I personally just hide the yoke ingame so i think its just normal

I was able to bid on eBay and get a lightly used Logitech yoke, pedal, and throttle set for $150 USD. If you buy on Logitech it’s $340.

What's the deal with the wall plug input on the yoke ? Do you need to plug it into a 120 voltage wall plug outlet ?

is there a "dead zone" which is super important for flying Cessna 150 or 172 or other general aviation lighter aircraft? Thanks!

Hi mate, X plane 11 does not pick up my yoke. Do you have a solution?

did you zero the deadzones in the sim settings?

can you adjust the deadzone settings in logitech game software?

Should I buy all the xplane 11 dlc with mummy's credit card

Stupid question but does it come with the Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant or it that sold separately it looked like the Rudder is just downloaded the new flight sim and is pretty fun but only using an xbox controller with it I do have the G29 Steering wheel for ETS2 and ATS but I don't see that working with flight sim too good

Where can I buy the thing with the infa red lights

How do you Yaw with this?

Hey does it come with extra throttle things with. The throttle and mixture?

Gearing up for Microsoft flight sim 2020 & cant decide between yoke or joystick

How do you google on KZfaq

Could someone explain how the IR eye tracking is supposed to work? What good is it if the camera in the game pans right, if I turn my head right? I'll be looking at the wall next to the monitor, won't I?

Wish I had one

Have you had a chance to look at the Honeycomb Alpha Flight yoke?

Can you use it like a mouse like move your cursor around while out of a flight sim?

My yoke jitters a lot around 30 degrees, is this normal?

Get FSUICP by Pete Dawson it does wonders for fsx and prepar3d you can calibrate you axis there I just bought my logitek I have no deadzone at all

Can you control the rudders without rudder pedals? If so, how?

What desk is this?

Hello Friends. I am planning to buy the Logitech G Saitek PRO Flight Yoke System. May I know the software required? Do I have to buy the flight simulation software separately? Does my PC need to have certain configuration? I would appreciate if someone could share information with me. Thank you!

What's your rudder control button using this setup without pedals?

Nice review I was setting mine up waiting for MS FS 2020 to roll out. I have a question about the hardware you using to enable you to pan your view. I'm interested in purchasing it. Thanks

can i have the intro song

hey bro, could you resolve the dead zone problem? Because I can´t and im crazy about to resolve it, please help me!!!

Does it have reverse thrusters?

Im thinking to buy it but am afread of the problems (im playing on mfs 2020) and wondring if the syinc is perfect can you tell me
