Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System
According to our flight stick expert
With the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System, advanced flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator are more realistic than ever. This system includes the yoke and a throttle quadrant. With the included mounts, you can firmly attach them to your desk, table, or self-built cockpit. Thanks to the stainless steel axle, the yoke moves and responds smoothly and accurately. With the throttle quadrant, you can control both the throttle of your airplane and the wing flaps, for example. This is because you can assign 3 different functions to every button and lever. The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System is the foundation of a complete cockpit that you connect one or more Saitek Flight Simulation Pro Flight Instrument Panels to, or a second throttle quadrant.

My son (11 years old) writes this:
First. when I ordered it. I immediately became hyper and the great thing was that CoolBlue delivers quickly: it came the next day. Once it came in. was connected, installed and done. I got behind it right away. Nothing was broken. Coolblue had done a great job! The Coolblue box was just big enough for the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke. And I know why. by the size of the box. it could not be damaged during transport. When I played with it with my simulator game, it was great! Use everything right away. play with it right away. all the fun right now! And the great thing was that it wasn't expensive :) (for both parts. the steering wheel and the quadrant.) My neighbor also ordered it from Coolblue that week. He is also very happy with it!

The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System is a great add-on for people who want a bigger challenge in their Flight Simulator. It's easy to use and it really does feel like you're in a cockpit. If you really want to go far you can even buy almost all instruments from a cockpit for even more thrills! In short: highly recommended!!!

The Pro Flight yoke offers a perfect answer to anyone who wants to take flight simulation to a higher level affordably. I use the system in combination with Flightgear and can therefore not say how the compatibility with more common simulation programs is going, but with Flightgear I could really speak of "Plug 'n Play". Personally, I think it's a great advantage that even the buttons for operating the built-in clock/stopwatch on the steering wheel can be linked to an inflight function. A very handy function is the mode switch, which is located at the back of the right handle. This allows different profiles to be set, so that all buttons/levers get a different function that you can set yourself. You can use this function to easily switch between controlling different types of aircraft (up to three profiles). I think it's a shame that this button can only be used for that function, since I don't use the function and I would have liked to have assigned another function to that switch.
The system feels very realistic and thus brings you one big step closer to the ultimate living room flying experience.
In addition to the default settings, the built-in USB hub (with three connections) on the yoke is a valuable addition, especially if you decide to add extra external panels (radio station, extra throttle quadrant, autopilot...). If necessary, this hub can also be powered with a non-supplied adapter.
One last minor niggle is the length of the USB cable that connects the yoke to your system. With a length of less than a meter I can imagine that this poses problems for those who build a real cockpit, although the length is just enough for a normal setup (my cable is stretched but without any load on the connections). This can of course be easily bridged with a USB extension cable. Since the cable that connects yoke to throttle is excessively long (in general, after all, a maximum of a few tens of centimeters must be bridged with it), I find the choice for such a short cable a bit strange.
The system is extremely robust: the clamps are sturdy and you can easily put a lot of force on your yoke without suddenly having a floating handlebar in your hands. Be careful with the throttle levers: you can choose to mount them on top of or at the front of your table/desk. In the latter configuration, you run the risk of bending or breaking them if you accidentally bump them with the armrests of your chair. So after some experiences I decided to mount my throttle quadrant on top of my desk as a precaution. I can now confirm that the throttle-levers are extremely sturdy, because they have not budged, although I did bump into them with quite a bit of force the last time.
