Just looking at gpstore and see that the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System has got $100 bucks of and you can get it for $200. Not a bad saving.

I might consider getting it because of the saving. Just wondering if anyone has it and what they think of it?

It's my birthday in two weeks...

I have one of those coupled with the pedals and find it fantastic. Very smooth operation and with the throttle quadrant that comes with the yoke awesome for GA flying. Previously i used the Ch Products FS Yoke, first the game port one and then the USB one, both with pedals. I find the Saitek alot smoother and more accurate, especially the pedals. I have had mine for about 6 months now and it gets a hammaring and apart from the odd creak is still smooth and precise. I am sure i only paid $235 for it when i got it so you shouldn't expect to pay much more than that.

i have this as well, can throughly recommend it, awesome yoke and throttle, adds so much to the realism, so much infact i am still coming to terms with it for the joystick, definitely recommend getting it

What? Damn! I could have gotten that with my birthday money and bit more from my wallet...already spent it in a momo wheel for rfactor though. Ah well. I needed another steering wheel more than a new joystick/yoke. Huge savings on that though!

thanks for the info guys. im seriously considering getting the yoke and pedals. wont be cheap though. $450 bucks but im sure its worth it in the long run.

I was playing with the yoke and throttle in Harvey Norman, big price tag but it was so smooth and with the throttles, that come with it, I wanted it so bad. They had about 5 of them in stock, and when I went back a couple of days later, all gone. Very popular!
