subject: The Ultimate Flight Simulator Yoke [print this page] The first priority when beginning to fly aircraft with a flight simulator is to build up our skills and knowledge on aviation and learn all we can with the basic planes like the Cessna trainers. Its only when we are confident we know how to fly that we begin to think about what sort of aircraft we actually would like to fly given the chance..
We may not be able to become the pilot we dreamed of when we were young, but a flight simulator gives us another chance to live our dream. If we dreamed of flying a large passenger jet, then one a good choice is the Boeing 737. The Boeing 737 is the top selling jet in history, and after its first flight in 1967 over 6000 have been delivered. Around the globe, every minute there are many Boeing 737's taking off and landing. It's no surprise that this aircraft is also a favorite for flight simulator enthusiasts.
For those flight simmers that wish to take the experience of flying a 737 to the ultimate level, forget about using a joystick or a standard off the shelf yoke to control the plane.If you are looking for the most realistic way to control the aircraft then you'll want to consider a 737 flight simulator yoke. Yes, a yoke has been built that is a replica of the actual control used in the 737 aircraft.
No problems with trying to fix the yoke or joystick to your desk, the 737 yoke stands on the floor, just as it does in an actual aircraft. It's great having a standalone yoke that has its own space on the floor, you can have a permanent simulator cockpit setup.
The 737 yoke is great to add to your flight simulator controls. There are no problems to connect to your computer, as it has a USB interface. Unlike some inexpensive models, the 737 yoke is made of metal and aluminum so it has a sturdy and realistic feeling in your hands. The 737 yoke is expensive, but if you are a real flight simulator pilot looking to replicate flying a 737 as close as can be, it just may be what you are looking for.
