Good flight simulation games are tricky to set up and hard to play, which, of course, is their great attraction.

Flight Sim Yoke and Pro Pedals is a new set of control equipment which simplifies game set-up and makes gameplay much smoother.

It has been developed by U.S.-based CH products, which worked with both pilots and aircraft designers to achieve the finest set of controllers on the market today.

The equipment is all USB-based so it simply plugs into a USB port and virtually configures itself. The software is highly intuitive.

I managed to set up both yoke and pedals in less than 20 minutes.

The most noticeable thing about the yoke is the way commands replicate real aircraft controls.

The pressure needed to turn the controller is similar to the real thing and the fine-tuning possible with this device is positively awesome!

The easy-to-use pedals made combat flying a lot easier, freeing you for more important tasks like squeezing off 1,000 rounds per minute at incoming fighters.

The top feature has to be the slick way the well-balanced controls operate.

The precision-engineered, column-mounted sliders operate so smoothly you will wonder why this hasn't been made standard on all computer games equipment.

The two devices are available separately and represent the best control equipment I have ever used.

Go and have a test flight. You won't regret it!
