How do you learn how to fly? (planes, not the green leaf)

<< crab453 - I guess it's not that important as long as you don't buy a cheapy? I have heard from someone that has flown and used a computer joystick found the yoke on a plane a lot stiffer than he had expected. Do any joysticks emulate this? Do you reccomend force feedback? >>



Pretty much... I haven't tried MS' FF II yet, but I thought the origional sucked.

You can buy a yoke for ~$500 from AETI thats modeled after a Saab 340.. The resistance is pretty darn close to the real deal.

CH makes the one I'm thinking of, and they actually still make it, it's even updated! They have a ton of realistic types for civillian aircraft (well, 2 anyway). >>



I have that, but I think it blows.

I'm going to bed too now... thanks for all the info everyone! I thought this was going to get buried by all the other ATOT junk (j/k ).
