A critical note about the Logitech yoke, is due to its limited range of motion, the sim will double the amount of input. For example a 45 degree input will be interpreted by the software as a 90 degree bank.
For a student pilot like me, this was a major deal breaker. I went with the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and could not be happier
You are right with that comment, I got the Logitech X56 last week, and is impossible to get 100% control, so I returned it today and ordered the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke with Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant Bundle. Happy learning to all!
@@edwinsand7749 I also returned the X56. I was tempted by the large range of buttons and switches but the quality is terrible. Annoying dead center detent on the joystick, cheap switches, cheap plastics. Not worth the money.
Saitek Cessna Pro yoke 180 degrees
Logitech (Saitek) is pure garbage.
You are right but if you're a casual simmer or in a tight budget I have found that it's not bad for the price
This is an excellent lineup and your cinematography is stunning. You deserve a lot more views!
Really appreciate that bud, glad you enjoyed the vid
I concur
And I concur
Great video! Hello from Phoenix Arizona in the USA. I’m a private pilot I got my license at Phoenix sky Harbor in 1987. The last five years I’ve not been flying due to medical reasons. Now I’m discovering all these new flight Sam’s in the ability to have some really cool stuff at home. It’ll give me a chance to brush up on my skills stay current and learn all of this new incredible technology. I’ve been searching for a video like this to show me the hardware options that are available. A video like this has been hard to fine so thank you for doing it. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.
welcome aboard - glad you found the video useful
have you started playing all of these gadgets? if so...how close are these to reality?
I’ve been playing around with a stream deck and the amount of capabilities that has and the amount of ready set up profiles that are online was a great alternative to all the panels you can get.
I would recommend the MFG Crosswind. It's a ruder pedal build in croatia. Very sturdy and the support you get is invaluable. You can even get hydraulic dampeners to even have a more realitic feeling
I have had my Logitech yoke and pedals fora decade. They are great. I recently added a couple of panel. They make a huge difference to training flights but the immersive view of a vr headset is amazing.
I'm windowshopping for peripherals and the info is really awesome! Thanks mate.
Thank you so much. I just got into Microsoft Flight Simulator and was looking for peripherals
Im a beginner so still dipping my toes into the flight sim experience but i think i might come back to this video of i ever wanna upgrade my setup
I'm a newbie and I was looking for a video just like this. Thank you sir!
Love the list and how you really catered it to beginners. If you are a bit short on money, or space, or don't feel like setting up a lot of gear every time: I am just flying MSFS with a simple stick with a twist rudder function and a small throttle lever, controlling everything else with the mouse (including mixture and propellers). While there are a ton kf ways to improve that setup, it still gives the full functionality of everything the sim does, and it's fun to learn the cockpits by having to find and adjust the actual virtual controls.
Why should beginners buy crap like those Saitek (Logi) controllers? Better to start with something like TM.
I have a similar setup as I an a new player, and it is pretty good
I absolutely love the honeycomb setup.
Thanks for awesome recomendations. It is resonably explained order and range in every category.
I've got the full virpil setup. constellation stick, extension, throttle, and both switch panels. never been happier with a purchase. also have the honeycomb yoke and throttle as well. next upgrade will be to get rid of the Logitech pedals to virps. amongst other things like a tablet for maps and what not, and a stream deck for things like ATC and views. oh and the logitech flight panels.
I just want to add a game changing device for flight simulator feel. I highly recommend the Brunner CLS yoke... The force feedback is amazing, and it makes for customizable very realistic feel for each airplane.
At over a $1200 US it should be pretty good!
thanks a lot for this! what a nice professional video
Thanks A LOT for the video! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is actual very useful information. I wonder if you got a video like this for racing games etc, like different steering wheels etc.
I first bought a simple logitech rudder pedals, recently.
I love it. Though i use it mainly for VTOL. My next purchase would be a yoke and throttle control.
Great, thanks, nice little overview.
Great video, even better personality!
Great, short and decisively informative panoramic view on these... ps Cool is the new TQS from Thrustmaster...
Thanks for Virpil tip - didn't know they existed.
Great video. I ordered a flight yoke from a sportys pilot shop back in 2020 and after 5 months it never came in. I bought it because of the release of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. I recently built a new PC for around $3500 and I cannot wait to get back into it.
The only thing I'd swap is yoke and pedals. Even though the x56 has twist grip, its not a good habit to get onto of you intend to fly irl. After using the x3d pro for years I really have to think and remind myself to use rudder when I go up for real. But apart from that, great video
This is first genuine reason ive heard for pedals. They just seem like waste otherwise
very interesting n informative, thanks for uploading this vid
Why Virpil but not VKB?
VKB can keep up at the top, if not lead, and it even has mid-range solutions.
Hi!! thank you for your video, great advice. Can you use the panels described in N5 if you are using the oculus? additionally... what PC configuration do you recommend for the oculus? THANKS!
Great list. I just found your page and I’m glad that I did. I do have a X52 and I think it’s a good start point. There are toggles, T1-T6 on the “stick” controller that I cannot figure. I was hoping they were 6 variations of control, for example, T1 main trigger is set for main guns. T2 main trigger is set for rockets. Do you know if that is the case and I’m just missing the set up or are they for something else? Thanks, if you an answer, and if not well….thanks just the same. I love the channel and hope to glean your ninja knowledge.
Thanks for the video
I am a beginner at this and it was very helpful, I am not a tech guy, have worked on and built many scale planes. I am a mechanic not a computer guy, even though they should go hand in hand.😀
Great video thank you
Instead of VR with you might want to consider Tobii eye tracker. It gives you that range of vision without a headset. This allows you to use those panels.
Winwing is a contender offering F-18 full combat & landing panels & of course ...sticks & throttle units.
I have the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and Bravo throttle with the Logitech rudder pedals. It’s the best setup for a reasonable budget. There are a lot of programmable switches on the Bravo as well as an autopilot. Had them for 2 years now and love them.
sweet i just got mine yesterday
@@mosasa1307 it takes a while to set up all the programmable buttons but once you do you’ll have smooth skies ahead!
Excellent video and great choices. Thank you. I am not sure if I can stand the VR immersion for any length of time (I do fly for hours at a time so I would probably pick the TrackIR over VR.) although I would like to experience it one day. I have all but the VR goggle.
I have both and I have to agree. Vr is cool but trackIR or Tobii is the way to go for extended sessions.
I needed this sort of advice . I love flight sims but want to make sure that i get tye right gear from the outset. I have seen people buy sorts of gear then try to sell the crap (sorry) but its true. Thanks .
I would put Track IR on that list, just behind the HOTAS/Yoke as it adds so much immersion and simplicity at a cheap price. I'm surprised you did not mention it.
either the Track-IR 5 or the Tobii eye tracker are both a great pick.
The track IR has more precise head tracking over the tobii, but the tobii adds eye tracking and you don't need a attachment for your headset or hat
"such a cheap price" yeah right sure
I'm just looking into a flight sim to keep sharp on instrument flying. I have the Oculus 2 so I'll give that a go. There are ways of bringing up Foreflight in the simulator even with the VR headset though.
Tks for the video. Quick question: is there any gadget to control nose gear direction?
CH throttle quadrants ... it's fragile and uses 8 bit Potentiometers but it's cheap and has 6 axis and 6 2-way momentary switches.
You missed the best of the lot though. VKBs line-up of sticks and Winwing as well. I've got both, and are far better than the Logitech stuff will ever be.
VKB sticks are modular, with sticks that you can swap buttons around with. Then there's the software behind them that is the most incredibly versatile and flexible stuff I've ever seen in a stick.
For example you can program a mini-stick (4-way hat) to act as a mouse. Or change the colours of LEDs to flash or blink at different rates and speed or colour. The combinations are almost endless.
There's a bunch of add on modules available as well. Worth a look.
Good video, I like it.
What are some better options for pedals? I heard the Logitech weren’t so good and I’m looking for something honeycomb level for rudder
fantastic video, yes the virpil is awesome. I use two sticks for my hotas. But i didnt even know, that iam so much into flying. Chris Roberts showed me, how much i love it. Yea the thing with VR. iam still a DIY Coppit Fanboy. its like sitting in real, in my Gladius. Yes it takes time and money, but with the App for the monitor controls just makes it stunning, i have 4 cheap pads and each one is a monitor, like ingame. Yes with VR its awesome to look around. But the immersion of sitting in a real rebuild star fighter is for me still overwhelming.
I have been using my SAITEK FLIGHT PRO SYSTEM for airplanes and the HOTAS Cougar for helicopters for more than 10 years.
No problems at all.
The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is the best add on I've bought. I have a VR headset (Quest 2) but its so uncomfortable and just a pain to set up and pack away. Tobii works with MSFS, Xplane, DCS, many other sims too.
i have the honey comb throttle and yoke, both took very long to arrive, both were supposed to be for christmas but the yoke didnt come until april, and i dont even remember when the throttle came bc of how long it took lol
Awesome video and very useful information. Thank you for sharing this video.
🤟🤓👍
Really glad you found it useful
question ; do you guys know any possibility to 'see tru' the oculus quest 2 ONLY to be able to see al the buttons and displays on these aftermarked sticks and panels? i keep finding it difficult to really have full control in the VR cockpits . i do it with only the right hand quest controller and stick in the left hand .
Great video do you know where its possible to purchase the actual 737 Throttle Quadrant I have the levers and knobs ty.
outsiide of the yoke what would be the best ones to get to simulate a cesna? im looking to go to school soon and honestly id just like to stay as in range to what ill be using as possible fo comfort sake if anything
else
WOW great video thanks made my day 😀👍
So glad you enjoyed it
@@VirtualRealityPilot i am learning slowly what makes me laugh when i go for a quick spin how the game wont let me land on the runway if go for the wrong one lol 😀
Just the video I need as I am new to VR flying and flight sims! Thanks. Subbed!
i would love to have the full set with a yoke and flight panels but it takes too much space i have an hotas x from thrustmaster. Perhaps VR is the solution here when space is limited.
VR should be top of the list.
great job sir.
another great video by you!!!!!!!! maybe considering going on a diet?
When you talk about having pc power for vr, what hardware de you need? I have a legion laptop (5800H, rtx3600, 64gb ram). Is it enough? Thanks!
I understand that MSFS does not recognise the Logitech panels. Is there a way to set these up independently?
Recently I have entered the sim racing and I have love it, with the logitech G923 I have had a nice experience and I have totally love it, now i want to try and get into the flight sim world but buying a cheap and nice peripherals (not buying junk but not giving away all of my money), and this video has helped me a lot, thank you
It's just like SIM racing, you have the budget options, like your G923, and then the price shoots up really fast to the next level. The difference between the groups in considerable but they won't make you a better player, just feel more realistic.
I would add, simionic, x 52,56,58. Hotas trust master x. Airbus captain set. Old but good logitech G940 force feedback with duel throttle and rudder paddles included. Great device, sadly there is not much force feedback stuff out there!
Hey man I have a quick question I have the sainted yoke and throttle quadrant but I have 2 throttle quadrants with the weird entry how did you connect both
I recommend my Rudder Pedal Brand MFG Crosswind I started with the Logitech pedals the price on them IMO is not worth the Quality, People cheap out on pedals thinking they are not that big of a deal till they put their feet on a Precision set of pedals like Virpils or MFG Crosswind. I also recommend getting the Damper addon for the pedals. I started out with the X56 Rhino HOTAS system I use all Virpil gear with the MFG Crosswind rudder pedals. Can't live without them. Good Video
i would have put trackir or eye tracking over vr and even pedals as most sticks have a twist axis
That’s a great suggestion. I personally like the immersion you get from VR but I can totally see a place for trackir 👍
Stand alone trim wheel really increased the enjoyment of my setup. Too bad Saitek discontinued their model.
A great little presentation though a bit patchy regarding price information but no biggy as one can soon discover that.
I'm curious whether the ultra-committed flight simmers (if that's the correct terminology for flight sim users), who invest in the top gear regardless of it means spending the rent or the month's grocery bill, ever consider taking actual lessons/pilot license?
With a small budget, my personal recommendation is VKB NXT with the GNX throttle quadrant. Simple, effective controller setup. Then, stay “IN” the sim. Dont add a bunch of hardware outside the sim. Instead stay in the sim and utilize the controls within the simulator. This helps with immersion, as well as allows flight of all types of aircraft since you wont be stuck with one type of cockpit layout.
any recommendations for helicopters for FS20? Thanks
doesnt the VR get in the way of the flight panels?
I've just bought an Xbox x, can you please tell me if you can use the flight panel with the Xbox.
How can you see all of these peripherals if you use a vr head set?
How much would the setup/peripherals change if you implemented a VR headset?
I just bought the Velocity One Yoke, Rudder and 3 Logitech panels.
I do think on buying the Bravo throttle quadran, but must wait for sufficient income this set is very expansive.
Anyway I am thinking on buying a new Powerfull PC to run simulator like MSFS and TSW 3 ETC.
Track IR is a worthy mention for people who do not want or cannot afford VR
I got the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo plus the Logitech pedals but one important thing I didn't think of is a chair without wheels on it! It is very annoying to have feet on pedals and hands on yoke and throttle and the damn chair is wandering backwards. There have been real world accidents where the seat in a plane has come unlocked, sliding backwards causing the pilot to pull back on the yoke and enter a departure stall - and die! The consequences would likely be much less severe on a sim however.
Before you get a VR headset, I'd try and test it out first. I got a VR headset for DCS and found that I got extremely nauseated using it (could only play for like 15 minutes at a time doing maneuvers before I felt like puking). I've heard other people say the same thing.
Honestly, I'd recommend a headtracker first. Many DCS players simply use the headtracker and do just fine. The tough part with the headtracker is you need to eliminate the light coming into the room as that can mess up the track IR.
What about the Thrustmaster Warthog? That used to be the first, last and middle word in HOTAS controllers, and frankly, I had my hands on it, it just feels _AMAZING_
me personal got the THRUSTMASTER T.16000M FCS HOTAS sorry for caps i really think this is a good way to start investing in flight sim but ofc its your own option :)
What are the names of the other boxes at the Honeycomb yoke with the numbers? 4.30
can you ad more accessores to the yoke system including the ruder pedals and the throttle for example he lading gear accessores and more please answer
quid i am finkin of having one
Im saving for a Turtle beach velocity one yoke and throttle
all said, what's required then? For example, can I do flight SIM w/o the rudder pedals?
VR should be #2 IMO, I've been playing with a joystick and throttle i nvr for years, no pedals. Just fly the robin og other stick aircraft and use the twist for rudder.
Im getting a yoke and pedals now, but I've had plenty of fun in VR without, way more than I would have in flatscreen
With regard to the twist grip rudder, over rudder pedals. The amount of control that you have when you move to true rudder pedals is immense.
On Elite Dangerous I was able to adjust the yaw of my ship whilst simultaneously rolling and using the lateral thrusters in a way that never felt possible with the X52s twist rudder. It just felt so natural. Also learning to take off in a single engine aircraft and using the pedals to counteract the yaw, is something that isn't really possible with a twist grip, as moving the stick to take off tends to affect the twist that you have applied.
I have a question - Do any of the flight yokes NOT work with Apple Mac Studio running macOS Monterey 12.6 and X-Plane 12?
To concur with your list I have: Logitech X52 Pro, which is good but frustrating in some ways. That prompted the purchase of a Thrustmaster Warthog and Logitech rudder pedals. I use both so as to have more buttons and less keyboard interaction. They pair mighty well with an Oculus Quest 2.
The Quest 2 is so awesome I hardly ever play War Thunder, or any other VR compatible games, without it.
Yes, it is literally a game changer. Once you get used to VR you'll never go back. VR is hard but so much more fun than standard 2d gaming.
I fly in DCS and I must say; you left out something considerably less expensive to the VR Headsets, and that is the Track IR head tracking units that allow you to get truly immersive at a much reduced cost. The Natural Point Track IR headset comes in two flavers - a cheaper reflective headset that you mount on a cap, and the Pro version that uses a sensor and LED's that provide you the ability like VR headsets to look around the cockpit and flying environment without having to use a hat switch on your stick or a keyboard combination. There are other even less expensive choices that use a Web Cam you might already have, too.
I agree with your choices, I started out with the X-52 and then moved up to the X-56 and have had great luck and fun with them, although I am saving for a top of the line joystick like you mentioned. Even though I am choked by a tight budget, I hope to move up to a better throttle also. I do have the Logitech Rudder Pedals and they work great too!
What are the web cam ones?
i have had honeycombe yoke and saitek and they dont come anywhere near the boeing yoke,,very suprised it wasnt on your list
What about TPR pedals; or the Warthog joystick?
I have the Saitek Cessna yoke. It‘s basically the same as the Logitech Pro yoke but with +-90 degrees aileron instead of +-45 degrees and a little bit different design. Good thing althoug it‘s old. Had a cheap deal at ca. 60€ a few years ago.
But it feels cheap, especially the throttle. And the throttle now slowly gets unprecise. Anyhow for less than 100€ I would recommend the Saitek Cessna yoke which is unfortunately not available new.
The Saitek/Logitech rudders are fine. Not precise but good enough, feet are not as precise as the hands.
look at the vkb rudder pedals, super precise
What about the Saitek Cessna Pro yoke, 180 degree rotation, good alterative to the Logitech yoke
noob question here as i never had a joystick.. are all those buttons mapped to keyboard keys ? or - and I use windows - does windows support specific buttons with almost no limit for joysticks like joystick_1, joystick_2 and regarding the pitch/rol/yaw I wonder how that is mapped as input to software.
I didn't see which of the controls would work om Apple OS. The seem to work mostly on MS OS. It would be useful if you stated which OS the systems support.
Looking to get a pilot’s license soon . Hopefully there is something out there that is instrument rated training. Garmin, 1000.? Want ideas and what sim ?
how do you use the control panels with VR?
2:50 I wouldnt necessarily agree that a yoke gives more emersion. Whilst it is true that a lot of civil aircraft use a yoke, there are still plenty which use a stick (including all airbus's and a lot of light aircraft). On the same note, several light aircraft don't use a standard throttle either, but that doesn't diminish the emersion. Overall I would say either yoke or stick can/will provide equal emersion.
Hi, i never played games like these before. I am a total ignorant. Can you drop me 2 lines on what hardware is needed for DCS? I believe you have vr googles and these levers, right? Hope you could guide me. Thanks!
can you mix logitech instrument panels with honeycomb yoke? great video, thank you
yes you can
Are there any peripheral that are compatible with xbox?
Can anyone recommend the Turtle Beach Velocity One. I consider buying it. (The yoke, not the joystick)
