Precision Flight Control with Adjustable Mechanics
The Vector Flight Yoke Base features a fully adjustable mechanical system that allows independent tuning of pitch and roll resistance.
Interchangeable springs enable pilots to customize the control forces to match different aircraft characteristics and personal preferences. From responsive general aviation aircraft to heavier commercial airliners, the yoke can be configured to deliver a realistic and natural control feel.
Key Features
- 160 mm pitch travel for precise elevator control
- Independently adjustable pitch and roll resistance
- Interchangeable spring system
- Customizable flight control feel
Smooth and Controlled Axis Movement
High-quality bearings ensure smooth operation while minimizing friction and unwanted resistance throughout the control range.
Integrated axis dampers and magnetic detent functionality allow further fine-tuning of the control response, helping pilots maintain precision during demanding flight phases such as approaches, landings, and long-distance cruising.
The result is a highly refined and predictable control experience that enhances both realism and accuracy.
Benefits
- Smooth bearing-supported movement
- Reduced friction and binding
- Adjustable damping characteristics
- Improved precision during critical flight operations
Configurable Roll Travel
The roll axis can be configured for either 90° or 180° of rotation, allowing the yoke to adapt to different aircraft categories and simulation requirements.
This flexibility makes the Vector Yoke Base suitable for everything from general aviation aircraft to larger commercial aircraft and specialized flight simulation setups.
Contactless Sensors for Maximum Accuracy
The Vector Flight Yoke Base utilizes high-precision contactless sensors to ensure accurate and reliable input detection.
Unlike traditional potentiometers, contactless sensors eliminate mechanical wear, providing long-term consistency and maintenance-free operation while maintaining exceptional control accuracy.
Advantages
- High-resolution input accuracy
- No mechanical wear
- Long-term reliability
- Maintenance-free performance
Modular Ecosystem for Custom Cockpits
The Vector Flight Yoke Base is built around a modular platform that supports interchangeable yoke grips and optional control panel modules.
Compatible accessories can be quickly installed using the integrated quick-connect system, allowing pilots to customize and expand their cockpit setup according to their specific needs.
This modular approach makes the Vector Yoke Base suitable for both compact desktop environments and fully equipped simulator cockpits.
Flexible Mounting Options
The base supports multiple installation methods to suit different simulator environments.
Users can mount the unit using compatible desk mounts or utilize the integrated hard-mount points located on the underside of the base for permanent cockpit installation.
This flexibility allows seamless integration into a wide variety of flight simulation setups.
Advanced Software Configuration
Using the VPC Configuration Suite, pilots can customize and fine-tune various settings to optimize performance and tailor the controls to their preferences.
This level of configurability allows the Vector Flight Yoke Base to adapt to different aircraft profiles, flying styles, and simulation scenarios.
Durable All-Metal Construction
Constructed from high-quality metal, the Vector Flight Yoke Base is engineered for durability and long-term reliability.
Its robust design ensures stable operation and consistent performance, even during intensive use and extended flight sessions.
