P-38? Yes.

Oh I wonder if the yoke handles will be changeable like the stick and cyclic grips?

5

@Torc Yes, swappable yoke handles.

Iā€™ve currently got a full Virpil simpit, and the only yoke is a Turtle beach one. I think Iā€™ll be likely to sell that, and pick up this thing for GA. Knowing the quality of Virpil, I feel like itā€™s a good buy.

And as much as I love combat sims, I do get the itch to explore the world some days as well.

I had two Saitek yokes, which I gave away in a moment of generosity. Now, Iā€™m in the market for a new set because Iā€™ve been doing more GA flying. FS2024 looks so good, I think Iā€™m going to do a lot more GA stuff. Flying a Baron with a stick does not feel natural. :grinning:

Itā€™s weird, flying an F-16 with a center stick feels so wrong Iā€™ve actually got both a center stick and a sidestick on my sim chair, but for the civil stuff I just use the sidestick (even for Cessnas and Bonanzas) and it just doesnā€™t bother me?

Maybe itā€™s got something to do with contorting to see behind me in the combat jets? (VR user here)

The Virpil yokes look niceā€¦ but Iā€™d want control loading (ā€œforce feedbackā€, but mainly for trim and aerodynamic forces) to make it worthwhileā€¦
