    I'm looking for a cheap flight Yoke for my simulator (X-Plane). I've tried Adverts.ie with no luck and Ebay is still a little pricey for me. I know they're usually not cheap but does anyone know of anything similar or a cheap one going?

    I use this:

    Wouldn't claim to be an expert by any means but I find it to be a good and well featured stick, and easy on the wallet. Its available from a few places.

    Just switched from Logitech Extreme 3dPro to Thrustmaster T16000M .Early days yet but probably gonna stick with it having tried nearly every other option including HOTAS Cougar (200+++ euro).Used the Logitechs for almost 10 years (funny theyre still updating the box artwork!)but this new T16000M with Hall Effect movement mechanism is the way forward ....apparently it NEVER wears out unlike the cheap potentiometers in the Logitech ...But its NOT as comofortable and spring is weaker ...
