I wish PMDG made more products in general.

They are truly a work of a master mind

In AUST (Overpriced land)

 

You could get a lesson for 150-180 (Aud). That goes for about 90 mins

Hell yeah.

I've had a little over 100 hours for both the 737 and 777. 30 hours on the A320 only lol

737 and 777 you get the yoke which is far more enjoyable than a joystick

I actually prefer a joystick for control compared to a yoke, though I've only been in a full-fledged simulator once.

I find the joystick is for fast and responsive movement for fighters and a yoke for precise movement like a commercial aircraft would need

I can't control a yoke very steadily because my arms are just holding on to it with no bracing, at least with a joystick I can brace my arm on something and make minute movements for control.

I can definitely fly with a yoke, but I don't have enough hours in to one to get control where I'd like it.

I got tired of setting it up just to put it back in the box a few hours later so I bought a joystick with it being much more manageable. :D

 

Eventually I'll have space and time for the yoke once again.. As soon as I repair or Frankenstein my throttle to working order.

They are a pain in the but. I still have my joystick on my desk just attracting dust
