Fulcrum Simulator Controls

Hi, I was looking at purchasing a fulcrum yoke for myself and I have one question. Since I am a user of Pilot2ATC, will it recognize the fulcrum yoke so I can add a PTT button? Thanks, Max

Hello friends! I noticed that many of us have inquired about the timeline of orders in the "Pre-order Questions" thread. However, this information was buried deep in the comments. So I guess it might be a good practice to make this form for us to fill out. Current Status: Pre-ordered / Ordered / Shipped / Delivered Pre-ordered: N/A Invitation Received: N/A Shipped: N/A Delivered: N/A Order Contents: N/A If you are willing to share your order timeline, please post it below, once there are enough entries presented, we might have a clearer vision of how the orders are coming alone. I hope this would benefit us. Thanks!

Hi, I tested the Honycomb Alpha and found that the pitch axe is really to hard (force requested to pull and push the yoke). Is the force required for the pitch axe less for the Fulcrum yoke? Is this yoke good for B737 and C172? Thanks!!

I just received the yoke last week and got a chance to install it tonight. When I turned the base over to install the desk base there is something loose in the yoke base. I sounds like a small wood block that falls left and right as well as forward and back. Has anyone else noticed this? My guess is this is not normal. Don't want to go to the trouble of disassembly of the sim to install this yoke if there is a problem.

Is anyone else waiting on delivery of their yoke? I finally received my invitation to order the yoke on March 1st. Ordered and paid for it that day. Since then, have heard nothing. Have e-mailed Fulcrum several times with no response and today can't get their web site to load. ???

Hi Chris. My yoke... Gosh! What a lovely piece of engineering, from design and material selection, through build and even to packaging. Put me down for a throttle quadrant. And pedals. And a trim wheel... And a tiller... And are you going to make any panels? 😄 Merry Christmas mate. I love it! D

Hi, this is my first yoke and the setup has been very confusing for me. I think I have the pitch and roll assigned correctly now, but what should all of the buttons be assigned as? Is there a standard list of what they should be for general aviation planes? Also, when I first set it up I didn’t realize the yoke wasn’t fully seated and connected. It took me a while to find out that’s why it wasn’t even working at all. When I tried to seat it fully I noticed the black plastic piece inside wasn’t centered in there. I had to pry it down a bit so I could get the yoke fully seated, so hopefully that didn’t damage it. Once I had it fully seated, it work…

Hi, Fulcrum yoke worked fine in X-plane 11 until recently. Suddenly the cockpit view tilted upward and started spinning while showing a crosshair in the middle of the screen. I removed X-Plane Joystick Settings.prf out of the Output/preferences and replugged the yoke. It helped for a while but then it all started again. I plugged the USB into another slot and removed all other controls, not helping... In the settings menu I can calibrate the yoke but nothing lights up when pressing buttons, moving switches or coolie hat. Anything esle I can do to make the yoke work again properly?

Hi all, i have ran into an issue with my fulcrum yoke. The yoke connects with xplane well, and all the buttons do their assigned jobs, however the actual yoke doesnt do anything. The yoke doesnt translate to the game, and it simply doesnt work. The yoke is fully locked in place, so no issues there. It works during calibration too, just not in game. Any help is thoroughly appreciated

I have to say Chris's customer service is absolutely second to none. The quality of the yoke itself is fabulous, but the responsiveness and speed of customer service is astounding. This is absolutely one purchase I do not regret 👍

@tutmeister just wondering when my order is likely to be shipped please Chris? Nice to see the new review, I don’t recall seeing anything negative in any review actually!

Can someone who has the Fulcrum yoke please verify if it works with a USB 3.x type of connection. Thanks, Al

Best part of £500 seems exp, anyone care to comment on usability with the Q400?

We are attending the FSElite website launch party this weekend. The event is being streamed https://fselite.net/party/ and there are various prizes being given away including a Fulcrum One Yoke! There might be something worth keeping an eye out for.

Hi Chris Do we get a tracking number when the yoke is dispatched from your factory? I want to make sure I am home for the day when it is due to be delivered. Thanks in advance. John Blanch

Hi All, just received my Yoke One yesterday and gave it a quick test out this morning. One observation is that there is a little play vertically in the shaft if you lift the yoke handles - only a couple of mms but I wanted to check with others if this was normal? Pushing down or left or right show no visible play, only lifting up.

Hi all, Im wondering if any other owners have a roughly 1 inch force deadzone at the center of pitch travel. For me, i only experience this with the handle on. I wonder if the weight of the handle is causing the shaft to rub against the metal guide on the case causing resistance.

Hi, I received my fulcrum one yoke yesterday and am very happy with quality. I have plugged it in to a USB-port and windows 10 immediately found and installed the device as a gaming controller. I calibrated it in Windows as per instructions. I own MSFS through steam and I checked that Steam is also seeing the fulcrum one yoke in controller options there. But neither MSFS nor DCS is finding the fulcrum one yoke. Anything I've missed here??

@tutmeister Any information you could share on the future of different handles? Do you foresee any third-party development or support for yoke owners making their own?

I've had the outstanding Fulcrum Yoke for about three months without any issues- until now. Whilst performing a routine aileron flight control check (A2A Bonanza), there was a loud mechanical snap noise that resulted in full left aileron deflection. The control wheel remains in the full left deflection position so obviously there is a major failure. Hopefully, I can open the box to investigate further. I really hope this can be rectified without having to return the yoke as I live in the KSEA area in the U.S. and very concerned with very lengthy shipping delays. Please advise best email and I'll be happy to transfer to that platform or text. Anxiously standing …

Hi everyone Recently I have begun developing a 3d printed mounting system to attach a phone to the front of the yoke. This is because I wanted to have my charts displayed on the yoke via avare. So far I have made an initial prototype and it has worked quite well. There are no holes that need to be drilled as it mounts to the 4 screws on the front of the yoke. Stock screws are still used. Current design supports a nexus 6P but depending on interest I could release it for other phones as well. File will be released on thingiverse once I make adjustments to the phone holding portion. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Hi, Chris some update on MSfs profile to Fulcrum ? It already working great under msfs, but you know that something is missing.. brds

I will be going to FSExpo on September 24-26 and wondered if there would be a presence from the Fulcrum One yoke there. I know travel is very crazy currently but just thought I would ask. I will be spreading the word about this great yoke in any way I can. Looking forward to meeting any other Fulcrum One users that might be going.

Dear friends, I recognize the quality of the product and I've already told that to Chris but I'm having a lot of problems with arliners especially with X-Plane 11 like Rotate MD-80, iXeg 733, FF 757/767 and iniBuilds A300. I could say the same about P3Dv5 but thanks to FSUIPC I managed to make it more or less acceptable through various sensitivity settings and curves with PMDG 737,747 and 777, Maddog X and QW 787. BUT without the FSUIPC and using the settings recommended by the PMDG it is almost impossible to fly, it is extremely "heavy" in Pitch and Roll. It reminds me my old times flying the B-737-200 (33 years ago) and doing the "Manual Reversion" training …

What are the shipping options to Canada? I’m afraid UPS is a bad option, as they charge extortion for brokerage.
