CH Products Eclipse Yoke...anyone have one?

[Randy_Cain]

Hi,

I'm the proud owner of the new Eclipse Yoke by CH Products. I was puttering around with all the new possibilities of what I could use all these new buttons for. I REALLY like Rudder and Elevator Trim wheels on the front of the yoke. ;D If nothing else, I figured that was worth the extra 20 bucks.

Anyway, if you have one, what are you using your extra programmable buttons and rockers for? Any suggestions?

Yours,

Hi Randy -
Setting up 240 possibles will take up a lot of sim time ;D
My CH Yoke/Quadrant/Pedals setup gives me 8 'flip' switches and I haven't used all of them yet.
Some odd things I have which you might like to try:
One switch while held up, cuts the ignition, and restores it when released. Handy for landing Sopwith Camels and the like. The same switch pressed down = Ctrl+E.
One switch pressed up toggles wingtip floats, and pressed down toggles water rudders.
One switch pressed up toggles wing fold, and pressed down toggles the exit - but I haven't got it to do more than the main exit, so far.
The Eclipse should let you set up a "water" group and a "WW1" group.
