[Ab1234ify]

The best saitek yoke review ever seen, congratulations.

[Javier33085]

Another comic sans criminal.

[ymmjR1221]

@Javier33085 HAHAHAHA good point, it was wither this or i could have spiced it up with some Wingdings ;)

[drunkdude86]

if you get just the yoke and throttle how do you use the rudder without rudder pedals?

[zaphr89]

Is your Saitek Yoke as sticky as mine? Mine seems to creek and stick to a certain position if i hold it there for too long and its not as smooth as my CH yoke making it hard sometimes to stay steady on approach etc.

[tokofome]

does it works with ps3?

[ymmjR1221]

@tokofome haha maybe, but idk sorry :/

[davisbrettvain]

my parents got married to this song

[FLYER683]

[alien234565]

how much is this

[leafvillage0001]

@alien234565 162 buck plus Tax at Fry's.

[flywithjacob]

@AirportVids Go to your realism settings, and turn on autorudder. That should work!!!

[alwaysFSX]

@ymmjR1221 ITS SAY-TECH NOT PSY-TECH!

[rickymetalplayer1]

Well its good enough for me but its sticky so make precision maneuvers a bit more difficult

[mroa412]

sorry i have a problem .mine yoke throttles go to the opoosite side.help need.tell me what to do .thanks

[zeroturbulence]

@mroa412 Go into your FS9/FSX control options menu and click the 'reverse axis' box for the throttle levers

[konar96]

yo people i have a problem i dont have the rudder pedal and i suck at stearing with buttons pls give me an idea that can help me stear with my saitek joystic

[kongu132]

man how u use the rudder to turn the airplane???

[ymmjR1221]

@kongu132 Go to your realism settings and turn autorudder on :)

[Brad1711]

@ymmjR1221 you mean off

[ymmjR1221]

@Brad1711 Is this about the AutoRudder?

[Brad1711]

@ymmjR1221 Ya.

[tafftastic]

@ymmjR1221 Or buy the footpedals from Saitek :-)

Easiest way to land comfortably I find.

[gomlumlom]

okay i love this yoke. the one problem i have with it is that the keyboard thingy bends easily

[AirportVids]

I got a new computer and when i try and turn my aircraft with the yoke or arrow keys it doesn't turn whilst on the ground. It does in the air and the alerions do move but it seems that the wheel is locked into place. Do you know why it is doing this and how i can fix this. I am using fs9

[ymmjR1221]

Go to your realism settings and turn autorudder on :)

[PhantasmalFantastic]

lol, yeah buddy you don't steer with your ailerons on the ground :P

[roder000]

saitek is the best flight simulation 'HARDWARE' maker EVER!!!

[MagicLewisForever]

Nice review.. could someone please tell me what the music is at the beginning of this video. Thanks. 5/5

[masonkiller666]

@MagicLewisForever A song by Enya I think, don't remember which one.

[leozzz8]

Watermark - Enya

[coolguy676]

Mine still doesent work....

[coolguy676]

Can you help me? I already asked you for help. My throttle wont work in game but it has power but i dont know did i miss somthing before opening the box and then plugging it in? cause the throttle doesent work in-game. Can you help. I've already asked you, you said yes.

[daantjebest]

mabye i can help you

1: windows servise pack 2

2 look of the cabels in the pc good

3 by options calibrate

Ps: My englisch is notso goo

[phillekuung]

can you make so that one throttle quadrant goes to four engines, because i saw one guy that had it and ha had flap lever one one throttle quadrant to the video is called "FSX Takeoff/Landing LFSB Korean Air Cargo w/ Pro Flight Yoke "

[ymmjR1221]

Yeah you can, i have a spoiler/throttle/flap setup :)

[TNG128MB]

u dont need the power supply

and to use in fs2004 en fsx u best set the ingame sensitvities to max and the dead zones zo 0

[coolguy676]

My quadrent throttle wont work (in-game) there is power in it but it wont work in-game. HELP!

[CPTDJB]

talk more about handling, replica forces and reference real flying also....

[amediastintas]

I figured it out. I bought two throttles. and the rudders so if you hook it all up to the yoke you need a power supply but if you dont you dont need a power supply it draws from the computer. lot of poeple made fun of me, but this is information that is not found in the manual.

[amediastintas]

does it come with a power supply? I bought mine and theres no power supply!

[drcodyjones]

You plug it into your computer.

[BarcamanX12]

No, it take its power from the USB chart

[pilotdave1000]

lol

[amediastintas]

I figured it out. I bought two throttles. and the rudders so if you hook it all up to the yoke you need a power supply but if you dont you dont need a power supply it draws from the computer. lot of poeple made fun of me, but this is information that is not found in the manual.

[Databamse]

The best way I can describe the pressure feeling from the joystick is that when you fly, you feel connected with the screen and the game. When you use a yoke without that pressure feeling, it feels like you are sitting in the chair and is alone and the screen and the game is acting for itself. You feel separated from the game. Damn I hate saitek for not including pressure. I can't understand how these yoke-owners can appreciate that thing without it. I guess they never tried using with pressure

[Databamse]

Try microsoft sidewinder force feedback 2 joystick and get the incredible pressure feeling and you know what i mean, when you adapt to this yoke system and feel no pressure anywhere, it just ruins the whole day. Trust me, this product lacks the most important thing ever.

[amediastintas]

you know. Im an avid gamer a faa certified pilot and simulator junkie. ive flown both with force feedback and without. it is pretty cool to have the force feed back. but the only thing i can enjoy from it is that with airspeed the joystick gets stiffer. ok well depending on make and model of aircaft. some aircraft are so well balanced and if not (for example elevator.) the trim will always help you aleviate the weight. I just dont believe force feedback is that important since is varies so much.

[Databamse]

The yoke has no force feedback removing an incredible important factor of pressure when you need to trim, rolling, landing, retracting landing gear. The microsoft sidewinder force feedback 2 joystick has this force feedback. As much as i would like a yoke to have that, the realism you get from the force feedback is unprizable. It just takes away one of the greatest fun of the simulator. The force feedback is just way too important. It ruins the whole saitek yoke product completely.

[globespan767]

Nice Review. I wish i got that instead of the X52

[ymmjR1221]

I would love both :D How do you like the X52?

[globespan767]

Its alright. The Wire connecting the throttle and joystick can be a pain.......

[ymmjR1221]

Thats the same with the yoke. I really want the new logitech system with the joystick and throttle an rudder :D thats my wish list

[paintballlay]

i like the x52 as well but as globespan said the wire is a pain

[felipefreire065]

sad song

[ymmjR1221]

Lol its called Relaxation-Enya

[airshowproductions]

Why 4 1/2 stars, why not 5, what made that 1/2 not be credited? In other words, what didn`t you like about the system>?

[theSTUPIDpolice]

Jeeeeesssuuuss....save us!!!!

the worst review ever!....dull!

[ymmjR1221]

Ok seeing that your videos are... OOPS my bad no vids, sorry. :P

[cvearl]

But what do you do for Rudder if you have no peddals? I bought this. It's in the closet ATM once I realised I had no RUDDER control. So I am trying to decide if ot goes back or not. I a Saitek AV8R and the handle twist is rudder and I require the rudder for crosswinds and also taxying. Advice?

[ymmjR1221]

Yes this was a concern of mine from the beginning however if you set the plane up for auto-rudder the yoke will work GREAT PM me if you need further assistance

[cvearl]

got it!

[ryanair737400]

hey great video does anyone know if this yoke is compatitiable with windows vista

[chestateegold]

it does indeed work with it

[noxnflame]

yes this yoke is i just bought the set and it works perfectly.

[kekecom]

how do you make to accelerate only one engine?

[ymmjR1221]

Do you mean using only on throttle like a cessna ore us on throttle for multi engine aircaft like a Beechcraft Bonanza ?

[kekecom]

multiengine aircraft.. for example u want to accelerate the 2nd engine of a 747. not the 4 engines only the 2nd one.. how do you make it with the saitek?

[ymmjR1221]

would you have 4 extra throttle levers to set aside for the throttle set?

[kekecom]

don't know but u have only 1 throttle what happen when u accelerate with a 747? all the trhottles accelerate at the same time right? my cuestion is if u can accelerate only 1 engine of a 747 or do u have to do it with the keyboard?! sorry my english bt i'm tired.

[ymmjR1221]

Ok now i understand. I have my yoke USUALLY configured for a two engine airliners (757) However i sometime do do flights in a 747 which is when you CAN set one throttle to work as all 4. Thanks for subscribing.

[dyl962]

I Have 1 question, when I put My Engines In Reverse On The Throttle, They Do Not Activate, For FSX, DO U KNow Why?

[ymmjR1221]

yeah, contact me through a privet message and i will give you the full rundown on how to program the yoke

[ggreen629]

will it work on a mac pleeeeeeez reply

[ggreen629]

oh yeah thanxs for answering

[ozy18708]

will it work on mac?

[ymmjR1221]

Yes just use it as if it were a normal ISB device... Please Subscribe if you like my videos.

[ggreen629]

i subscribed

[vac4231]

is your yoke noisy during movement?

[FabianKamp]

this was recorded on my birthday

[ymmjR1221]

Its a sign telling you to get this for your next B-Day :D

[Beliath1993]

where did u buy it? how much did u spent? please answer, thnx :)

[pullpinholdgrenade]

could u show u usin it?

[ymmjR1221]

Like a landing?

[waterattack]

Thanks so Much I`m getting mine today!!So excited thanks again:)

[ymmjR1221]

Your Welcome. enjoy :D

[Rwy02]

Perl harbor lol

[Rwy02]

This music is off a movie i no i just cant think of it,

whats the music lol?

[Pedrito2513]

do you need to buy rudder pedals for this???

[ymmjR1221]

I use racing pedals for my rudder but it has no rotating movement... but you can use auto-rudder

[Pedrito2513]

oooh and how do set the auto-rudder??

[ymmjR1221]

go to realism settings and click the box labeled auto rudder... this will allow you to steer on the ground using the yaw movement (Side to side). I hope this helped... please subscribe

[Pedrito2513]

Thank you very much, I subscribe :)

[Cptaviator]

has force feedback been a real problem so far? Like how often do you actually experience feedback?

[ymmjR1221]

There is no force feedback on the yoke... But you can buy joysticks for like 200 that have it... I am posting a new flight video tonight about a Lufthansa A319 you should check it out and Sub.

[Cptaviator]

oh i mean has having no force feedback been a real problem?

[ymmjR1221]

Nope not at all.:P

[Cptaviator]

Thanks, I think Im gonna get it! Just as long as I am able to sell my saited cyborg evo..

[RJfan]

I"m planning on getting this soon. does it have force feedback?

[ymmjR1221]

No. BUt it is still an incredible product

[RJfan]

ah. well I plan on getting it after I get the Saitek Rudder pedals. I need to practice taxiing. but thanks a lot for thins educational vid of the yoke, man! this baby will definitely be in my wishlist!

[ymmjR1221]

Good i am glad

[aircrafts12]

This helped thank you

[ymmjR1221]

Good i am glad:]

[Cappadoccia04]

Nice video. I'm curious as to why you gave it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. What is missing that voided a 5 star rating? I ask because I am planning on ordering this system within the next few weeks.

[ymmjR1221]

in FS2004 you can not use all three as throttles but only the first as throttle and one as rudder. In FSX all three can be used as separate levers such as Prop pitch throttle control or mixture control. this is mainly because the product was designed for FSX not 2004. I hope this helps.

[fantasinflodar]

Thats not true :) I had the problem, but its only becouse you will have to put the sensitivty up in the fs 2004 options. Just put it on 100 % and the red one will work fine :) And the blue one, working fine as prop. So no the product was not designed for fsx. it works exactly the same on fs 2004 :) Just have to tune the settings.

[ymmjR1221]

YOU ARE A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fantasinflodar]

Im glad to hear that mate :) Keep on flying!

[ymmjR1221]

Thanks as we speak i am recording my landing for a video about the test flight of a 777-300ER

[aircrafts12]

hi just wondering can all the levers be used at the same time (e.g: 727 can all of them be the levers to control the engines

[federalfsx]

yes they can

[aircrafts12]

Thank you very much

[ymmjR1221]

WHOA! Slow down... I was very upset with Saitek when i tried out my throttle quadrant because in FS2004 you can not use all three as throttles but only the first as throttle and one as rudder. In FSX all three can be used as separate levers such as Prop pitch throttle control or mixture control. this is mainly because the product was designed for FSX not 2004. I hope this helps.

[WORTY424]

can you make a video explaining the different levers of the throttle quadrant. I am very interested in this yoke and it would be much appreciated

[ymmjR1221]

I will see what i can do. In the mean time why don't you go ahead and send me a message with what you would like in SPECIFIC detail. Thanks for your interest please feel free to check out my channel. :]

[matkotejko]

how much space does it need for instaling it on the table, because I have my keyboard on the draww-out desk under the main desk of the table, I dont know if you dont understand write I will try to describe it better because my english is not very good :)

[13chrijohn]

Thanks! What is the name of the quadrant cable. Just wanna know if i`m buying only the quadrant.

[ymmjR1221]

For the yoke combo its an old mouse input but it only works when attached to the yoke... But the throttle that you buy separately is a usb cable.

[13chrijohn]

Thanks! U're cool!

[ymmjR1221]

Thanks allot. Thats "Cool" of you :]

[aceAVIATOR182]

I can't wait to get mine. There shipping it right now!

[ymmjR1221]

how do you like it?

[aceAVIATOR182]

I can't figure out how to program it!

[ymmjR1221]

Hey man if you get an x-fire account i will give you all the details on how to program it :)

[dubai4life]

hey ymmrjR1221 does this have good effects ,like do u feel it in the yoke when its moving?ty man

[tastyryan]

a decent vid. but damn i can't wait to get this! 3 more days woot

[ymmjR1221]

[ymmjR1221]

Hey man did you get you're yoke?

[tastyryan]

hell yeah got my yoke up and running :)

[unknowndreamer1987]

This is no review, there was nothing in it that was slightly review like.

That was a feature checklist...

Reviews consist of definition of the product you are reviewing, usablity, consistency of product, pro's and con's etc.

This had none of them, just giving you a few hints I once had the same non-objective reviews as yourself.

Review it again please :)

[ymmjR1221]

Ok yea sounds good just send me a checklist of what you would like to see and i will add it to the movie and re-post :)

[XxXxXxPrOxXxXxX]

Hai. =D

[ymmjR1221]

Hey!

[ymmashus94]

using my mic! nice vid
