little_bird Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Iris (http://www.irisdynamics.com)had a demo of their DragonFlyVR yoke at Sun 'n Fun last week- at the Aircraft Spruce booth. It was pretty cool and there was a flight sim company asking about buying several hundred of them for their desktop simulator. I see that they have lowered their price and I'm thinking about getting one for myself. I have flown FSX and XPlane, but I found them boring compard to real flying. With the Iris Yoke, I have flown aerobatics and it was a hoot with the special effects. There is some information on their old Forum, but this is a new product. Can anyone with a Dragonfly share their experiences? Thanks, Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_bird Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks Mark! The one at Sun n Fun was in a plexiglass case to show the guts. There was also an actuator there that was being displayed. The demo had a bunch of dials for running various forces. There was one little kid that turned everything to max so it looked like a paint mixer. The bearded guy (Pat?) was there but it was really hard to talk to him, he was so busy. Apparently, Aircraft Spruce has worldwide distribution rights. I didn't realize they were so big in flight sim. There was a Redbird in the both as well. I saw the new handle. I heard that is a modified version of one sold by Aircraft Spruce for real airplanes. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos.

little_bird Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Here's a new video from the Iris site. This is a different demo than what I saw, but similar. Is that a head tracker from an Oculus rift that is in the video? Now that would be cool! Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_bird Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I see that Iris is having a 50% off sale on their yoke and handle this week (Oct 24). Time to pull the trigger, I think! Maybe one for home and one for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
