Me?.....

..I'm and old; "Stick-in-the-mud", with my Saitek Cyborg X, Fly 4 stick of joy!.... :rolleyes: ...!

Had my Saitek Flight Yolk and CH Rudder pedals for yonks now....never used them!..... :wink2: ....!

Too much clutter on my desk, and on the floor collecting dust!

The old Twist-Stick does the job...and as cheap as chips!... :bow: .....!

Cheap Chips are nice....I like cheap chips!.... :D ...!

Paul..... :D .... :D ....!

Did you ever try them out Fozz , its a unique sensation for the first month or so , swivel seat , feet on pedals and all the primary controls on your yoke and throttle system, I do have a 'Go-Flight' autopilot module added .. the bee's knees! B-)

Tried them, Ian.....Got the Tee-Shirt....

...to much bloody clutter!

Cant see my monitor over the yoke, and the pedals keep moving around on the floor, (if I can locate them).

If I want to type loads of stuff, (as I mostly do) I just move my little Twist Joy Stick out of the way, and punch the keys on my QWERTY keyboard!

I just use my Flight Sim for exploration, using Google Maps nowadays....

Done the pretend Real Flight Stuff years ago.....

...I know it all now.... :lol: ...!

Mostly cooking and eating stuff nowadays....

...with added Vino...

Paul.... :lol: ...!

I had a girl here couple months back . she said "Jeez Ian you have a lotta shite in here , that is the way I like it , books, maps, and everything at my fingertips.

One thing I enjoy with the all the controllers 'Yoke, Rudder, Throttles' is when you making scenery specific photo-real, you want to create that same sensation as if you were really there , if one has done a good job then you need the equipment for it, as for the exploring , Crikey , you can pull an NZ Atlas out and say I want to go there, if you have done the trip many times before you get to recall those landmarks , this is were the Yoke is very handy were you study the ground .. feet on pedals , the Yoke is a must.
