Anybody here fly with a yoke?

I used to use the Saitek Yoke .. I got rid of it pretty quickly.  Was nifty for about two days until the novelty wore off, I like the throttle quadrant though

Best stick I have ever used is the Warthog .. period, but mines modified

I flew with the CH Yoke numerous times - mostly for MS Flight Sim and in Aces High when buff driving.  I found joystick more practical for the P-38 however - as the sensitivity and quicker response preferred for dogfighting... but the CH yoke did ok for the 38 and Mossie. They're still bigger planes than a simple P-51 or Spitfire.

Meaning - you may find it good for realism, but sucking for fast response and preciseness...especially for accurate gunfire solutions

You're not the first to comment on the slower response.   All things being equal, I'd like to fly with more realistic gear, but not at the expense of gunfire solutions.   I think I'll learn from you guys' experience and stick with a traditional stick...

Yes I found the Saitek yoke and pedals slow in response also .. another reason I gave it the boot.
