Question 1

I so a review posted from a previous buyer & I'd like to confirm the range of the yoke is only 45 degrees & not 90?

Accepted Answer

If you are asking about the range, it is 90 degrees. If you are wondering how much it turns to one side, it is 45 degrees. 45 degrees left and 45 degrees right, gives it a range of 90 degrees. (:

Question 2

hello, my son has been asking for a complete aircraft pilot control systems. Im sorry but I have no idea what to order. he sasy Yoke, foot peddles and controls? Any suggestion of a package I could buy?

Accepted Answer

The yoke system itself has the yoke, which moves ailerons and elevators, plus a typical single engine throttle quadrant that can control throttle, mixture and constant speed propeller.  There are also a couple of extra switches in the system, so you can simulate elevator trim, and maybe some other functions.  You would also need a set of rudder pedals to make the controls moderately realistic.  If you are going to simulate multi engine aircraft you might want to look at a yoke with no throttle quadrant, and add separate throttle quadrants appropriate to the number of engines you intend to control.  By and large, I would start with the yoke you asked about and add rudder pedals to start, maybe the Saitek PZ35.

Question 3

Is this compatible with windows 8?

Accepted Answer

Sort of, Some games it works very well, others not so much. I bought this for my dad with a few different flight simulators, I also bought the foot pedals. It was all together clunky and hard to set-up to get a good experience in the game.

In windows 8 I had a lot of trouble with the levers. hope this helps.

Question 4

Does it works with Win 8.1 Pro 64bit OS?

Accepted Answer

Yep, I ran it with Windows 8.1 and the not yet released Windows 10 so you are good for now and the long term. I recommend this product.

Question 5

I have flying games on my xbox, would this work?  If so I am also looking for rudder pedals that would work on xbox too.

Accepted Answer

No, it only works on PC.

Question 6

Has anyone experienced the inability to connect the throttle quadrant to the yoke system because of misaligned pins in the cable?
I had to return the system 3 times in a row because of this.

Accepted Answer

Throttle quadrant connector can only insert one way.  Do not force it.
They are a pain, but easily connected.
