I switched from a Logitech x56 HOTAS to the Logitech Yoke system for GA aircraft as well. I love the feel of the yoke, but I found that I really missed the sheer number of buttons, hats and dials that I used to have mapped for my cockpit controls. However, You can use multiple buttons pressed to map to a single function in MSFS, so I use the red button on the left yoke as a shift button and have doubled my available inputs. For example, the default aileron trim lever is T1 and T2, but when I hold Button 1 as a shift key, it becomes target altitude up/down.
@@Huddison I really want the Autopilot panel, but I need to introduce new sim gear at a certain pace in order to maintain matrimonial harmony... I am sure many can relate... Also, thanks for the great content.
Thanks Mary. Our Discord can also be of further help; we have a couple of Ladies in there already, joining in group flights etc - always good to have more :)
I've found his vids superb, particularly when compared to many others - always clear, not too fast or too slow. Nor does he have one of those droning 1970s bbc2 science lecturers voices or a millennial coffee addicted American voice - always a plus. Cheers Huddison.
Another Spot on video and ohhh Logitech sure brings back some good memories had this set up for many years I even needed to grease the inside to stop the grinding noises when pulling and pushing the yoke all part of the experiance. ( perhaps todays version one doesn't have to do that )
Dear Mr. I have enjoyed and applied what you teach in your videos, it is extraordinary! Very useful for me and many, by the way. It will be possible for you to record the profile of your setup that shows and share it here. We will be very grateful to you. Blessings.
Thank You for finally convincing me in purchasing just now this Logitech/Saitek Yoke. Your honest review from 2020 gave me the last kick to order. I think, it´s no bad decision for my very first yoke system. Even though I made a little mistake: I could get a single throttle piece cheaply, so bought it. Now, I have two of these 3-purpose leavers, hahaha. I´m hoping, I can find a useful combination for these additional leavers? Maybe landing gear up and down etc.. Any idea or suggestion? I´m thankful for any recommendations! I gave You thumbs up and subscribe, cause really helpful. Best Regards! Steffen
You could set up 4 engine aircraft with both Throttles attached; flaps/mixture might also be an option. I have 2 Throttle quadrants also as i showed in this video: th-cam.com/video/Qv8PCYFA7ig/w-d-xo.html
Thanks very much for updating your video on setting up the yoke. I recently got the Logitech yoke and rudder pedals as a gift and your suggestions for setting up the various switches and buttons, as well as the sensitivities has been very helpful. One thing I am struggling with is adjusting to the "stickiness" of the yoke when I am trying to make fine adjustments and flaring upon landing. Can you comment on if this is a common occurrence, is there something that can be done with settings to minimize it, or is it simply a characteristic that I just need to learn to deal with in how I fly with the yoke. I was previously using the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro which I found was very smooth. Thanks.
Hey there, I currently have this yoke but I’m not sure what to use as rudder, unfortunately I am not able to buy an actual rudder system, any recommendations on what I can use as the rudder? Thanks
Whilst _not_ in the flight sim: in Control Panel - under the Hardware & Sound category/View devices and printers. Can you see your yoke in there; is it showing?
Great video !! Question wrt POV and hat switch, how do I reset view back to a custom view.....for example, my NUM 8 keys is set up so I view just above dashboard, since I use external screens for instruments, I did set up L, R, 45 deg L & R and 120 deg L & R correctly, however when I toggle any of those keys again to return to front cockpit view (NUM 8), the view change to some kind of "default" view, but I'd like to return to my original NUM 8 view....I want to use POV "UP" to return to the NUM 8 camera set up view?
I got just the flight controller for Xmas. It’s super hard without the rudder pedals…. Is it really worth it to get them. It almost seems like it’s necessary.
At the start of the video your saitek throttle quadrant had some carpet like covers in between the levers there is 2 of them what are they called and where can i buy them?
i have everything set up and for some reason while i change the throttle controls it doesnt pop up the throttle controls, only the Joystick controls, how do i fix that
I only have a first impression video for the XPC Yoke (similar to the Alpha): th-cam.com/video/IUsiox3zR3E/w-d-xo.html I do need to make an update video for that though, so I may share my settings in that upcoming video.
At 7:20 where u describe the throttle etc for GA, how similar do I need the blue or red lever for throttle in an aircraft the the PMDG 737? Currently if I barely move the blue Stick the throttle goes 100%.. thanks
@@Huddison Thanks, but i can't get all buttons to work, only a few numbers. I don't know what to do to make it work. I use it on airlines. Are you able to show it? Thanks
I have the Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant. My throttles (first and second lever) has a big dead zone where it only moves on the sim when I’m moving it within the 25% to about 75% range. The settings show the axis moving all the way from 0 to 100. Is there a way to fix this?
yes I have. The buttons work if I program them for something else, but the clock will not work. It's not a big deal, I like the setup for the price.@@Capriboy1972

I currently have the hotas 4 and just today ordered this g pro yoke so excited for it to arrive 🙌
If it's your first yoke; you'll love it ;)
Got mine today, gotta 'remodel' desk though to clamp it - nothing a drill and jig saw can't fix 😊

Thanks Mike. I've never had any noise issues with my yoke & the Elevator axis is still silky smooth.

Unfortunately, some yokes may be a little sticky in certain axis (the V1 yoke also had this on some units).
Daily use typically helps ease this.
Hi. Thank you for thus video, perfect for what i need. Question though if i may: What's the propeller axis (blue lever) for/do?
It adjusts the angle of the prop in certain aircraft - I should cover this in a video.
Hey there, I currently have this yoke but I’m not sure what to use as rudder, unfortunately I am not able to buy an actual rudder system, any recommendations on what I can use as the rudder? Thanks
Xbox 360 controller works ok (somewhat) for ground rudders).
Thanks Mate
No worries
For me, the yoke isn’t showing up on options at all. i seriously need help 😅

Sounds like an in-depth question for our Discord server.
I got just the flight controller for Xmas. It’s super hard without the rudder pedals…. Is it really worth it to get them. It almost seems like it’s necessary.
I completely agree with that.
I have one Yoke System, but don't have the pedals. How can i configure the right hand rocker button to act as the rudder?
Thank you alot,, its help me with new FS2024 in steam app.
I get the writing over writing as well.
Thanks for sharing - glad (somewhat) it's not just happening to me.
@@Huddison Could it be a video driver issue?
It might be.@@user-ut2rz6xu1w
@@Huddison I've had the odd subpar driver from Nvidia, in the past. Rolled back until the next month's driver was released.

You can find them on sites like Ebay: th-cam.com/video/38T03hm48es/w-d-xo.html

Hi, Why have you got velcro attached to your quadrant?
See this video (I wanted to show the Vanilla' state of the system in this video): th-cam.com/video/38T03hm48es/w-d-xo.html
i have everything set up and for some reason while i change the throttle controls it doesnt pop up the throttle controls, only the Joystick controls, how do i fix that
Do u have a video on the honeycomb alpha? Need help on that onw

yes please, I also have the thrustmaster pedals and that video was very helpfull@@Huddison
Hi, is it still worth it buying it in 2024? I found one for around 85 USD.
Absolutely; go for it at that price.

Your assignments may not be correctly bound; ask on our Discord about this.
Hello, where do we set the yaw/rudder controls on the yoke, Indont have rudder pedals. Please
You'll have to improvise. I used an Xbox 360 controller triggers as rudders, before I got a set of actual rudder pedals.
Thanks, can i ask if you can you show how its even works settings for MULTI PANEL and SWITCH PANEL ?
I show that somewhat in this video: th-cam.com/video/Qv8PCYFA7ig/w-d-xo.html
@@Huddison Thanks, but i can't get all buttons to work, only a few numbers. I don't know what to do to make it work. I use it on airlines. Are you able to show it? Thanks
It depends which airliners you're using it with.
It might be worth asking on our Discord about this.@@farshadtimkvist
@@Huddison thanks i have a problem to get in Discord. I dont know why. It told me not accepted

I think the be3st course would be for you to join our discord so that you can share your settings.
Can you control 2 engines of an airliner using this? How does 1 throttle level controls 2 engines?
If you buy another throttle quadrant, then you have 3 more levers to play with.
I cannot get the parking brake to work on my logitech yoke and throttle system, everything else works.
What have you got set for it?
Quick question who do you unreverse thrust
DO you mean reverse thrust?
I still can't figure out how to set the clock on the yoke.
It won't display when plugged into my laptop, but fine when attached to my Pc. Not sure of the cause/issues with it.
Have you installed the Logitech software?
yes I have. The buttons work if I program them for something else, but the clock will not work. It's not a big deal, I like the setup for the price.@@Capriboy1972
