Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System

I use the Flight Yoke System with the Aerofly FS 2.
The yoke fulfils its purpose and has a good feel. For the thrust controls, I used the 3D printer to print thrust controls from an Airbus A320, which also have a thrust reversal function.
The yoke "squeaks" in certain positions and needs a little WD40.
Makes fun with the flight yoke but the low drag makes steering a bit difficult especially when you find wind conditions. But for the beginner completely in order.
I always buy Logitech products and am always satisfied with them. Suitable for any flight simulator and looks very realistic. There is only one small detail missing and that is you don't feel any force on the joke so there is no such thing as force feedback

Great precision. With FS, it's really better than keyboard. It seems very realistic.

Product worked straight away after FINALLY finding the right drivers on the Logitech site (X-Plane 11). Mapping out of the box is very usable and the arrangement of the buttons almost like in a real aircraft. Mounting is simple and stable with the supplied clamp. Price-performance ratio is quite right. Yoke has an integrated USB hub, which I find a nice feature.
Workmanship is very cheap. The thrust controls can be upgraded a bit with a 3D printer, but the Yoke is very clunky and feels fake. The way you can pull or push the yoke is very short, massively shorter than in a real plane, so you tend to overdrive if you are used to it differently. The left / right movements up to about 45°. In a real plane they go up to 90° so it feels very fake. For someone who wants real handling, I recommend a different product. For occasional sim training, however, it is perfectly adequate.
UPDATE:
Yoke started not working cleanly after some time. It feels like a loose contact, deflections at the yoke start to beat back and forth in X-Plane at a certain point. Flying is no longer possible. Reinstalling drivers and calibrating several times did not help.

The function display line no longer displays.
A good product needs to work with it a bit more
A very good controller for civilian aircraft flight simulation. The roll and pitch axes have a very good return to zero, which makes it possible to compensate (trimming) the flight controls without difficulty. With the six additional buttons on the throttle/propeller/throttle levers, and with three different levels of programming, there is a very satisfying number of configurable buttons.

Recommendation: if you have an idea about electronics, you should disassemble the part and tune it a little; then the product is a cheap solution.
Approaches:
> Make sure the external power supply is protected (e.g. at least one capacitor), if this has not already been done in recent revisions.
> For the hardcore solution, you can also remove the entire PCB and replace it with your own MC (e.g. Arduino, Trinket or similar); of course, it's a bit of a hassle, but it opens up other horizons, such as absolute control, PIDs, maintainability, system independence, etc. (which I always do).(what always broke down for me was the standard PCB)

Super:)
Can be used with small aircraft in FS2020 without any effort. Perfect!

Product was ordered on 19.12.24 now only available in February 2025 no cancellation possible! Absolutely bad service
I'm really happy with it, but somehow the middle USB port doesn't recognise the pedals ingame, but the other two USB slots do - no idea if that's normal
My unit does not detect the first 15 degrees of rotation to the left, which is absurd, hope this does not happen to everyone.

I don't find the product very precise, the plastic is always a bit awkward. With 3D glasses, only straight control to use, with the buttons and levers you operate blindly which makes it cumbersome.
