I bought the CH Flightsim yoke, but I cannot recommend it, it is sitting in a box in my basement since 6 years or longer. The spring is very soft, and the nicking axis (push and pull) works either too sensitive, or is jerky due to material friction - even if using plenty of silicon spray.

thee is very heavy, metal-made, and I assume better gear available from different other manufacturers that even mimics the looks of various yokes of varous planes, but it is very expensive. Take the word "very" literally.

Better invest in a good HOTAS combo, which alos is far more flexible and allows oyu to use the one of the other component for binding keyboard commands to other types of games as well. I have the CH Fighterstick and ProThrottle, and use the full combo in SBP, the thottle in GTR-2 and ArmA as well. that money was better spent than for that damn yoke. Some FS-planes like the SF.260 or Airbusses are even flown by sticks, not yokes.
