According to the CH products manual both the pedals and yoke can be used
for automobile sims, I tried the helo's a few times, but I suck at it.
I'm mostly interested in the single engine piston planes, 172's, 152's
and 150's since this spring I'm going for my PPL, and if all works out
then I'll be shopping for either a 150 or 152.
Just to keep boats in the subject you can get downloads to add to FSX at
www.fs-shipyards.com or org. Can't remember right now.
Gotta go get ready for the next PNW storm coming thru tonight, this
keeps up it might be time to look for a genset. Later UD


Yeah, I mostly fly the single engines too. Although I've never gotten
my PPL, I've been involved in small planes alot. My uncle was an
aviation machinist and worked in the field. I've watched him do
everything, including re-fabric cloth airplanes. I've known many
pilots, including a friend who had his own DC-3 that he flew cargo and
skydivers in.
Anyway, I installed FSX and used the graphics defaults and seems to
work well. When I get a chance I'll crank the detail up and let you
know what happens to mine. It seems as though you have about the same
setup as me hardware wise except I've got a joystick vs. yoke and
pedals, but I"m thinking about getting them! Did you notice any
performance issues when you got the yoke and pedals?
