Just Curious...

One wonders if any ED players use a flight yoke and rudder pedals to fly around. You know Saitek and CH both make them.

Currently I use a HOTAS T1600M and TWCS throttle to play ED.

How about it. Anyone? If so how's it work for ya.

No to the yoke, yes to the pedals.

I have a complete set from Saitek that I used for Flight Simulation: yoke, throttles, pedals, radio etc...
But for Elite I changed completely. I have a Saitek X-55 that I think it's perfect thanks to all the buttons and axes.

The yoke is a bit sparse for this game... Works well in a Cessna 150.

Yoke would be nice for SRV operations. Same with pedals.
For flight though.. ehh... joystick is good enough. Yoke would be awkward, since these are vacuum-craft, not air-craft.

I got the pedals because driving the SRV with the twist axis was giving me carpal tunnel. Turns out the pedals make steering easier, partially because they have a longer throw on the axis to tune with.

Yeah.

The yoke is just the motherboard for the throttle quad really.
I don't actually use that bit. And you can't see it really - it's behind the headphones on to of the PC under the desk on the left.

I don't have carpal tunnel, but I like steering with my feet.
It's like a billy-cart, and you can use the stick for pitch and roll still.

CMDR 1000th Monkey has a full steering wheel type rig for the SRV.
