    <p></p>
    After many months of development we are proud to announce that the long awaited force feedback yoke is on sale. There are two versions, one for general aviation and a second one for airliners.

    The first yoke features a real aviation metalic yoke (homebuilt airplanes) with a trim button and a PTT button. This PTT button can be programmed to be working with on line flying programs like IVAO or VATSIM.

    The second yoke features a resin moulded 737 yoke with trimbuttons, PTT and autopilot disconnect button. The forces are applied by 2 strong motors. The shaft extends 19 cm (7.5 inch) and has a left and right deflection of 90° in each direction.

    The force feedback is generated by our own software, taking into account the velocity, wind and movement of the plane. Hence you will feel the bumps on the runway, the gust in the clouds and the higher forces when diving. All parameters can be tweaked in order to generate custom files that are unique to the type of aircraft you are flying.

    The software can function in different modes, reacting like a spring mounted yoke or reacting to forces during flight. The yoke can be linked to the autopilot and will mimic the movement of the plane. Like in a real aircraft, the autopilot will disconnect if a force is applied to the yoke whilst in autopilot mode.

    A second yoke can be connected and both yokes will function as if mechanically connected to eachother. The yoke being handled will be in master mode, while the other is in slave mode. When the co-pilot takes control, the forced applied by him will trigger a switch in master/slave mode.

    Orders are taken now and the delivery time is about 12 weeks. There will be a separate charge for the transport (given the weight and size of the package).
