Joystick or flight yoke?

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1982 Carlos:
Yoke for Boeing, Joystick for Airbus ;D

EHM-1671 Ben:
Personally, I found that the yoke was a little too heavy on the controls for me to comfortably replace my joystick with it. Could have been simply that the sensitivity was set too low but I'm too attached to my joystick to change :P

EHM-1652 Doug:
Folks;

Many thanks for the time and comments.

Doug R;D

EHM-1883 Matt:
I used a yolk for a long time, but I use the Saitek joystick now mainly because the yolk is bulky - there's nowhere to put my keyboard, the desk is too small and I can barely see the computer screen;D

I do feel a sense of guilt as a Boeing fan using a joystick, but I also agree with Ben that mine was very odd with sensitivity and while flying you look like you're rowing.

EHM-1821 Javier:
i thought a yolk is just the yellow part of en egg? why would that be bulky :];D

I'm using a yoke (Im an airbus guy;D), yea its bulky but im used to it

i'd use a joystick for flying airbuses and a yoke for boeings and others but:

-my old joystick has problems
-if i got another joystick, it would have to be left-handed to be the captian of my airbus and also use my CH Throttle Quadrant
-i would have no space for my keyboard on my desk.
-i dont think i'll be allowed to buy another joystick anways :]

if i get that joystick, my cockpit would be more or less complete :];D
