A short time ago, someone posted here about a home-made yoke he had
for Flight Simulator II. I was interested, because I thought about
building one even since I bought FS II.
On the inside back cover of the new A+ magazine (Dec. '86), there is
an ad from ICON, Inc., for the MAXX. This is a yoke system that
attaches to the game port of an IBM, or an Apple II series. There are
buttons on top of both arms of the yoke, and a slide-control throttle
on the central console. The ad indicates that the user calibrates it
to the system upon startup, and that it is usable with jet, Cessna,
auto racing, tank, and space flight simulators.
The price shown is $129.95.
