So, the question remains. Can I leave my ST290pro plugged also to use as a tiller for ground handling?
'Cause it seems i'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks for the pedals.

My wife bought me the yoke & quadrant and the rudder pedals for Christmas. They're wrapped and under the tree. Takes everything I have not to open them early.

My wife wouldn't buy me anything for this hobby. You got a good one there.

The Saitek yoke is not force feedback. But honestly for the price, I think its the best out there.

OK . . . PROBLEM . . .

There's no calibration . . . and I have to hold the yoke at about a 15 degree angle for it to be centered.

How do I fix this?

2 possible problems, 1 is conflicting assignment in your FS axis's. The other is the drivers aren't installed. I would go with the first. Use FSUIPC to handle your joysticks and such and disable them in FS. It prevents issues like you are having. Tip: Check the axis's and I bet one of the throttles is actually assigned to a aileron.

That's a new one to me. I would check with Saitek. Don't know if they have forums but I do know their support works. I had a problem with my first one years ago when they first came out and without questioning me much sent me out another overnight express.

I just got the yoke and rpeddels for x-mas. And love it. And i got the track ir too. That. i need to work with it hard to get used to. There is a calabration tool that comes with the yoke. It is a program. Anyways that is at least what i saw.
