Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

Just uploaded my test bench evaluation of my new design Hall Effect sensor unit version 2 for Saitek USB/PS2 Throttle quadrant in Xplane 11.41 after calibration and proper throttle curve response setting. Video link Thanks for watching.

Hello! Because one can never have enough buttons, I wondered if anyone is using 2 sets of Saitek MFDs - so that you have 4 pieces of them... Are they interfering in any way because they are the same? I want to use it in P3D, XP11 and DCS. Thank you!

My brother will send me his old one if I pay shipping? Is it worthwhile? Currently using an old x52 to fly with. Cheers.

Hi Folks, I am looking to invest in these for a DIY project and wondering if there is any difference in the components or programming of the X05-92622 and X05-63778 FFB2s. Someone trying to sell a 63 tried to tell me that the 92's were of lower quality. Is there any truth in this?

Dear Everyone! This is my firsrt post here, so very sorry if I this is the wrong place to discuss this. In the first place I'm asking if anyone has a used Saitek yoke (I don't need the throttle) because the original price is unaffordable for me. So if anyone wants to get rid of his saitek yoke please notify me. The same goes for the (saitek) rudder. The other thing is that my current Thrustmaster T flight hotas X is not working properly, because it was slammed to the ground and as a result all planes in P3dV4 and XP11 are ruddering themselves to and fro in the air and on the ground, does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Many thanks for the replies …

Hi guys, I have the joystick described in the title and it has basically a middle spot on the throttle that the throttle doesn't move if I don't apply an certain amount of force (forward and backward). In that position (lets call it "idle") and moving forward, I want the throttle to increase my airplane thrust (so that position would be 0% of thrust). But moving "idle" backwards I want the reverse thrust. I have FSUIPC payed version and I'm trying to do this for about 1 month without any sucess... Can anyone help me with this please? Any advice or suggestions? Thank you guys!

Hi, are there any feedbacks or experinces with that yoke?!?

Greetings, So i'll try to make this brief. Ordered a Honeycomb yoke from amazon about a month ago. Was shipped by Gulf Coast Avionics in FL. Yoke arrived and was nearly flawless. Fit and finish was great every switch felt incredible and "real". Yet the jack for the coiled ethernet cable on the front of the yoke was crazy loose and made popping noises when you roll the yoke left. Contacted GC and got a replacement. 2nd yoke arrives. Previous issues were fixed, but now the trim switches were defective, alot of play in them and far less snappy as the first unit I ordered. I specifically remember how awesome the pitch trim switches felt on the first yoke I received…

I have the Saitek yoke and I want to do this mod but today the Leobodnard is expensive for shipping could the Arduino Nano Every be used instead? I need to use a skectch to program the elevator and aileron wondering if I will get the same result. Is there any other cheapest card in commerce that can be used? thank's for advice

This UK company has developed a high-end yoke which might be of interest you. Its availability is being delayed by the virus lockdown that most of us are experiencing. More information and a short video are available at https://www.fulcrumsim.com and https://www.fulcrumsim.com/short-yoke-overview-video/ Protect yourself and others. Jean-Jacques

Hi, I recently had one of the switches on the base of my Warthog throttle go bad - switch 16, the top left one (FUEL) - does anyone know what the correct part number is for a like for like replacement to fit myself from a third party supplier? I've been in touch with TM and they don't stock this particular part. Many thanks Graham

Hello, When I have 40% stable and I click THR button on MCP my throttle is reducing to 29%. EEC and Engine Limiter are ON. TOGA Button is Not working. I suspect it is fault my joystick. When I remove the joystick from usb and I plug my old joystick, THR button and TOGA is working. Joystick: Saitek Pro Flight Yoke + throttle quadrant Old joystick (when THR is running): Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Regards Mateusz D

I am located in USA, Connecticut. [email protected]

I had it working in V4 without issues. When I start V5 it's black. Any tips? thanks

Hi all, I'm back in the flight sim world after a long break and have purchased P3Dv4, various sceneries and my old favourite, the PMDG 747 all installed and running perfectly on a new computer with a fresh install of Windows 10 (all updates installed) I have a Saitek Pro Flight yoke and throttle, all working great with a paid (and new) version of FSUIPC6. I am now trying to get my VRinsight MPanel to work but am struggling to the point I now need help and am willing to pay someone to remotely make this work for me! Having installed the VRinsight software package and drivers etc for the MPanel the only thing that works is the radio - this works as it sh…

Hey all - hope all is well with you and your families. I'm looking to upgrade my again TQ6 from GF. The pots are going and for the cost of this thing, I'm not attempting this 'refresh' kit. As much as I like the boeing style levers, I'm ok with moving on and getting something much higher quality. The real question is can I mount this on top of my MESM module as my current TQ is? Not sure if anyone's tried this before. I dont really want to clamp to the desk when I have a full GF center console.

Hello .... sorry for the dumb question, but what are the differences between those two ??

Hello, I have an "older" PFC Saab yoke, I think I got it around 2013 or something. It has traditional bungee-loading mechanism. It's "OK". Working fine, but I do find it could be better. I saw their newer yokes, and they have control loading mechanism. However the price is very spicy. I cannot though find any videos or reviews about them. All I find is Yoko, but seems to me, there is not much of benefit to get Yoko if I already have an older PFC. Any experience here?

I'm sure this information is out there but I can not seem to find it. I'm not entirely sure if it's Logitech or x-plane related. I'm flying the 172 Skyhawk g1000 in x plane with Logitech yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals. I'm using the toggle button below the HAT on the left of the yoke for adjusting the elevator trim. It seems to take far to many button presses to adjust the trim in any helpful amount. What I want to do is make it so that one button press moves the trim 2 or 3 times more than normal. I think this requires editing a config file but I have not done anything that advanced in flight sim. If there is a simpler option I am open to that …

Hello, I looked through the threads in this section and didn't notice anything relating to joysticks on the first few pages and other forums didn't seem to have any either so I thought I'd ask here. If this is not the appropriate place I apologize and ask that someone send this to the right place. I am trying to make my virtual flying as realistic as possible, being a retired commercial airline pilot with a longtime interest in warbirds from WWII. I have been lucky enough to have flown a real SNJ for about 20 hours (too expensive to do so very often) and I thus know from experience that flying even a trainer from that era is much different than fly…

Hi , Hope someone can advise on this one as i'm scratching my head a bit. I recently bought the F14 for DCS and have just set about setting up and running the tutorials. But I have just started getting a BSOD. I updated my Nvidia drivers to latest version and thought that may have fixed it but alas not, I'm running win 10 pro. I then looked at my X55 hotas drivers but I think I have the latest version which was from Saitek and are 7.0.55.13 not sure if Logitech ever updated but I don't think they did. I've not had any issues when running P3d as yet so not sure if this is DCS related or a more general issue The last bsod gave me this. 040220-18406-01.dmp 02/…

I have a Saitek S52, which is reasonably nice, yet the stick-slip kept irritating me. I went on the lookout for an alternative and found that the 'pan-tilt-zoom' joysticks used for video camera control are very smooth. That's where the challenge started to build 'the world's smoothest joystick' :). A throttle goes with it. It's a do it yourself project and who knows this might be interesting to some here on the avsim forum. This is the link to the first of three articles on how to build it, including drawings, electrical schematics and software.

Hi Guys. What do you all recommend for a usb 2.0 powered hub? I've been plagued by intermittent problems with mine. Having to reconnect or disconnect. Profiles forgotten. I currently run https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ESP144/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this one. Considering ordering a different kind of hub and trying it out for a while. Will keep it if it works, or return if the problems remain. Looking in the 7-10 port neighborhood.

I recently purchased a T.M16000M joystick. I can set up everything fine when using either FSXSE and P3DV4.5. The problem I have is getting the throttle slider to work correctly. I can use the calibration procedures in either sim or use FSUIPC. The problems I have is I can advance the slider to 100% but when I bring the slider all the way back the engines only return to about 50% If I use the keyboard F1 the engines will come back to idle. Any ideas?

Guys. I don't use spadnext. But is there a way to make the saitek radio panel work with the q400. It doesn't work well with FSLabs, but it works well enough for me to use it during VATSIM. Thanks.
