Flight Sim Yoke USB
I’m hoping to use FlightGear to practice some basic navigation and to work on my IFR procedures. However, to date, I’ve always been a keyboard pilot and trying to do anything with precision on the keyboard is impossible. More so with a laptop keyboard. So today I purchased a Flight Sim Yoke from CH Products. I briefly looked around for somewhere local here in Calgary but ended up purchasing the yoke from PC Toy Shop out of Vancouver. PC Toy Shop had a good selection of products, offered cheap shipping via DHL and their pricing seemed on par. And to my delight, I ordered the yoke and they shipped it mere hours later.
When the yoke arrives and I get it set up (I run Linux so it might be a few hours of frustration) I’ll document my experiences and a product review of sorts. I did some preliminary checking and the yoke seems to run under Linux so I don’t expect too much in the way of trouble.
