Baseballdawg02 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Im new to fsx and i want to get a cheap but realistic stick or yoke so do you have any suggestions on whether i should get a stick or yoke and any good but cheap yokes or sticks, throttles, and rudder pedals. Ive never used any of this so is anything able to work with a windows 7? Please give me suggestions that are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostock Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Im new to fsx and i want to get a cheap but realistic stick or yoke so do you have any suggestions on whether i should get a stick or yoke and any good but cheap yokes or sticks, throttles, and rudder pedals. Ive never used any of this so is anything able to work with a windows 7? Please give me suggestions that are cheap. This is what I started with many years ago & I'm still using it today. I'm an avid simmer averaging 10 flights per week. Good joystick for about $35.00 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-extreme-3d-pro-gaming-joystick-silver-black/5796515.p?skuId=5796515&ref=06&loc=01&msclkid=4f5184a4226c136fc891df3ab96b447e&gclid=CLmhuoiOwN0CFTSjZQodlfoAZA&gclsrc=ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJim Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I have used both, and oddly enough, I have found that my joy stick is more precise than the yoke. Presently I am using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro purchased from Best Buy. Just one mans opinion.

tgon Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 For a cheap option you're best starting with a joystick I think. I've the Saitek X52 Pro, now from Logitech and very happy with it for many years now. The cost of yoke and pedals is too much for my ailing wallet and probably overkill for my level of interest in the hobby.

stubby2 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I use a Thrustmaster T 16000. It has the smoothest motion of anything I've used including a CH yoke. It does not use a spring like other sticks. Take a look at it.It's very affordable. I would probably get rudder pedals before I would get a yoke but that's me.

CRJ_simpilot Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If you want to go yoke and pedals, I can recommend the CH Products line. But they are pretty expensive. I won the lotto so to speak and got both of mine at a yard sale for $25! Prior to that I just used a joypad with dual axis sticks. I configured one stick for elevator and aileron and the other stick was for rudder. A flight stick might be more suitable and is cheaper, but I don't care for them all that much. Very hard to crab without foot pedals. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.
