    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

New Flt Yoke

Time to pull the cable on the Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke, after two years and many chances it's sadly refused to meet my expectations. The CH Products Yoke it replaced was a stellar performer for well over ten years, go figure ??

What do we know about new Flt Yokes coming to the market place soon ... anybody ?

PS - Looked at the Moza FFB Yoke ... interesting, but delivery seems to be a challenge for these guys.


"Frustrated"
 
I do not have any specific knowledge about airplane "yokes" (I'm all joystick), but I have been very impressed with all the equipment I have purchased from WinWing. So far (over one year), the joystick, throttle and rudder pedals have worked excellently. The fit, finish, feel and function is top notch.
 
Agree 100%, WinWing are being noticed for sure. I'm hoping they have a desk top Flt Yoke in the works. The present Yoke / rudder pedal assy they were showing at Flt Sim Expo looks awesome, hate to think what the MSRP is going to be on that bad boy !!

If you want a tried and tested yoke, I use the Saitek/Logitech Flight Yoke System (yoke and quadrant) and it's very robust with no annoying squeaks or rattles. Plus it's plug-and-play with MSFS (no driver or control panel needed), I just changed a few button assignments and the axis sensitivities to my own preferences and haven't had to reset them in 4 years so far.
 
Nothing wrong with Saitek/Logitech, solid names in the industry. I'm hoping with this self imposed hiatus for the next couple of months, something of interest may appear in the market place that's new and improved. Although the TM Yoke has it's issues, the TM TPR Rudder pedals and throttle quad's I'm running haven't missed a beat.
 
I can hosetly recommend the Honeycomb Alpha. I've been using it for about year - never missed a beat and the build quality is stellar.
 
Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Lite is now available. Huddison has done a quick overview on his YT channel.
Price is right !!

Honeycomb - We don’t ship to Canada - I'll go elsewhere then.

If you go to their US-website, on the left side menu you can click on "Find a reseller". You can then choose from 4 (officially licensed) resellers in Canada. There may be other (unofficial) resellers like Amazon Canada. They don't seem to have any stock yet, which isn't surprising as the Lite-series has just been released and Honeycomb will want to get product to their "official" resellers first.
