Flitesim CLS-60 Initial Impression

Initial impression of the Flitesim CLS-60 force feedback yoke. This is a great yoke for a reasonable amount of money. I do feel like flight simulation needs to catch up to racing simulation in terms of affordable force feedback gear. This is a great step.

The full size wheel looks great

It was very cool. I know you are no stranger to force feedback. Haven't tried the models you have. This one was really nice. That size is a bit daunting, though. I have said this more than once: Flight simulations needs more affordable force feedback. Racing sims have had that for decades. The tech is there. Just need to price it right. The CLS-60 is a step in the right direction.

Always helpful to hear from a current GA pilot when looking at these. Was the trimming realistic? Trimming in MSFS on my Honeycomb yoke is very difficult if not impossible. Thanks for what you do for the flight sim community.

You are welcome, and thanks for your kind words! I did not get to try to trim using the yoke, but I did have a conversation with the developer, and he discussed exactly this. Trimming on an Alpha is nothing like real flight, and I agree, it can be hard. I will link to the video part where Fabian from Flitesim discusses trimming. ua-cam.com/video/fYmWzBi30Ck/v-deo.htmlsi=miw6pceUuC_c1_wh&t=305
