Larry, thanks for that explanation. Makes sense. I'm going to post something on the FSUIPC forum to see if that add-on could help; if not, I'll just leave the ATC window open. I just got a Honeycomb yoke. I'm very impressed with the high quality of workmanship and overall feel when flying. It also has two options for mounting on tables/desks and when it's locked down, it doesn't budge. It also has a full 180 degrees with no dead zone.
