driver101 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 Hello, I am curious to hear what your settings are for the response curves for the yoke. I haven’t found the final setting yet. Still struggling with some, let’s say over sensitive pitch specially at low speeds. Many thanks Jan
RobW05 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 I haven't found a really satisfying curve for the Saitek yoke and some time ago I gave up and got back to linear. Whatever i did to smoothen out the pitch response around center it created inconveniences elsewhere. The Saitek yoke, at least mine, has a too heavy centering force and is totally lacking fine control in that important range. What adds to that is the general heavily noisy output, I can watch the signal dancing around no matter how smooth I try to move it. So for me the solution is replacing that yoke and I plan to do that rather soon.
driver101 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Posted September 10, 2019 So I am not alone here... To be honest I was expecting a comment like this So what is the best affordable yoke out there?

There is not really a 'good' affordable yoke around(*), at least that's how it is now. Some may claim that even 1000 dollar is affordable when you get a very well produced product which serves you many years. (speaking about the Yoko the Yoke) But that's too much of a spend for me, at least for now. (*) But that might change. Theres a company called Honeycomb coming up with a yoke and a quadrant they claim to fill the gap between the low budget and expensive high quality yokes. It has 90° of travel on the roll axis and a bigger travel than Saitek also on pitch axis. That alone should be a great improvement. I'm still sceptical but I decided to jump the gun and pre-ordered one of these. It should come sometime in October and then I'll see. Edited September 10, 2019 by RobW05
driver101 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Posted September 10, 2019 I agree! Will have a look at that honeycomb yoke. Think the price is good. Hopefully quality and functionality are as well.
