Command the skies with the king of flight simulator controls, the Flight Sim Yoke USB. This one of a kind yoke offers features that will allow you to fly with the realism you've come to expect from CH Products. Pilots around the world applaud the comfortably placed prop, throttle and mixture levers. It's the closest thing you'll get to sitting in your own cockpit.

The yoke has enough buttons, hats, levers, rocker switches and up/down switches to control just about every function of a light aircraft without having to touch the keyboard.
Programming:

You have two programming options. The first is very easy, and the second is more involved:

Option 1: USB Direct Mode

Plug in your CH USB controller
Let Windows recognize it and install it automatically as a USB device
Start your favourite sim
Go into the controls setup of that sim
Select a setting (e.g., throttle, views, weapon fire)
Press a button, or move an axis or lever depending on the control you are defining.
Do this until all your buttons and axes are assigned to the controls you want your yoke to handle.
Save your settings and play the game.

Option 2: Programmed or Mapped Mode

This option involves creating a profile for your CH controllers using the CH Control Manager software that is available from the CH website to make sure you have the latest version.

Scripting / programming using the CH Control Manager is not for the faint of heart. It looks fairly simple, but it is a very sophisticated piece of software that will require some dedicated time and effort on your part if you want to master all of its powerful features. To get into a full explanation of the CH Control Manager's workings is beyond the scope of this review, but if you are interested in learning how to use it, read all the help docs that come with the CH Control Manager, or, read 531 Ghost's "CH Control Manager For Dummies" posted at Kevin "Revvin" Watts' CH-Hangar.com.

Speaking of Revvin's excellent CH-Hangar.com, you can visit his forums where you'll find an entire forum section dedicated to pre-made, ready-to-use controller profiles for most popular simulations. Just download a suitable profile and use the CH Control Manager to install it into your own controllers. You may have to change a few settings in your game's controls setup to match those in the downloaded profile, but that's a small price to pay for all the work that goes into creating the sophisticated profiles complete with CH Control Manager script (CMS) routines. There's even a section of base profiles that do not include any mapping for games but have been set up ready for use with CMC files and have the axis set up for generic use.

The Pro Throttle button features will add the ability to successfully conquer the most advance sims and your best opponents. The smooth throttle slide control will help you out maneuver your opponents for hours in online combat arenas.

Sporting combat features to allow the new throttle to excel at flight sims to first person shooter games. New features of the pro throttle include a mode switch to allow three defined sets that can be switched on the fly. An LED light array to show the user which button set he or she has loaded: regular, combat, or advanced mode. A mini joystick is mounted for control with the thumb to allow advanced targeting, 360-degree view control, an excellent tool for racking up the "frags" in first person shooting games. The new Pro Throttle USB is the meanest tool for combat or Pilot flight simulation software that has been produced by CH Products to date.
