The Pro Flight yoke offers a perfect answer to anyone who wants to take flight simulation to a higher level affordably. I use the system in combination with Flightgear and can therefore not say how the compatibility with more common simulation programs is going, but with Flightgear I could really speak of "Plug 'n Play". Personally, I think it's a great advantage that even the buttons for operating the built-in clock/stopwatch on the steering wheel can be linked to an inflight function. A very handy function is the mode switch, which is located at the back of the right handle. This allows different profiles to be set, so that all buttons/levers get a different function that you can set yourself. You can use this function to easily switch between controlling different types of aircraft (up to three profiles). I think it's a shame that this button can only be used for that function, since I don't use the function and I would have liked to have assigned another function to that switch.
The system feels very realistic and thus brings you one big step closer to the ultimate living room flying experience.
In addition to the default settings, the built-in USB hub (with three connections) on the yoke is a valuable addition, especially if you decide to add extra external panels (radio station, extra throttle quadrant, autopilot...). If necessary, this hub can also be powered with a non-supplied adapter.
One last minor niggle is the length of the USB cable that connects the yoke to your system. With a length of less than a meter I can imagine that this poses problems for those who build a real cockpit, although the length is just enough for a normal setup (my cable is stretched but without any load on the connections). This can of course be easily bridged with a USB extension cable. Since the cable that connects yoke to throttle is excessively long (in general, after all, a maximum of a few tens of centimeters must be bridged with it), I find the choice for such a short cable a bit strange.
The system is extremely robust: the clamps are sturdy and you can easily put a lot of force on your yoke without suddenly having a floating handlebar in your hands. Be careful with the throttle levers: you can choose to mount them on top of or at the front of your table/desk. In the latter configuration, you run the risk of bending or breaking them if you accidentally bump them with the armrests of your chair. So after some experiences I decided to mount my throttle quadrant on top of my desk as a precaution. I can now confirm that the throttle-levers are extremely sturdy, because they have not budged, although I did bump into them with quite a bit of force the last time.
