Ruffels44 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi Folks This isn't exactly about FS 2020 but it is affecting my flying for sure. My CH Yoke is very sticky and affecting my ability to smoothly hand fly, especially the final moments of landing. So two questions I hope someone can answer. a) Has anyone tried WD 40 or graphite to unstick a yoke or are there electronics in there that I'm totally going to ruin if I do so? b) Can anyone recommend a really good yoke for GA flying in FS 2020? I don't necessarily need lots of buttons and I do have a separate throttle quadrant, I'm just looking for really smooth performance. Thanks Friends!!

g7rta Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I used to use a CH Products “Yoke Le†- I must have used it for maybe 15 years or so. I upgraded this year to a Logitech yoke.. & sold it on EBay two months later.. then bought the one I should have bought originally.. the Honeycomb Bravo! I highly recommended it. Only problem is I think they are a bit rare at the moment due to our new sim being launched.nobody seems to have them (or so others are saying) As for using WD40 on your CH Yoke.. I’m not sure it’d really make any difference. I actually still have my old one. It’s not worth anything.. the cable has some tape on it (due to it wearing a bit thin) but as far I know it still works. Very notchy though, as yours is. If you can find a Honeycomb I’d go for it.

tiger1962 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I use a CH Flight Sim Yoke and I've used Molybdenum spray on the shaft and WD40 (very sparingly) on the electricals. I also replaced the original springs with strong elastic bands as shown in this video: Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
