Virtual Fly Professional Flight Simulators, Castellgalí

Excelente empresa de equipo de simulación, estoy sumamente contento con mi Yoko+, es el yoke más profesional y realista que existe en el mercado de simulación. El servicio al cliente y sus tiempos de respuesta son de primer nivel.

Virtual Fly is well known for their Quality Sim products. They offer the full sense of realism and control to your fltsim's. The hardware they provide is of a very high standard that adds the full immersion experience. Their controls are well made and solid, just like the real thing so you feel right at home when you start your sim and taxi out for take off. Highly recommended for the student to the commercial pilot.

The yoko yoke is a smooth, accurate and durable product. I have owned it for three years with not problems. I would strongly recommend it the best investment I made to me home simulator

Very nice, the products are high quality and let u experience flight simulation coming very close to reality, perfect for professional flight simulation and for building a home cockpit.

Virtual Fly offers professional flight simulator hardware for a fair price. Outstanding quality and long lasting products combined with a good support make Virtual Fly the big player on the market. Their products are easy to set up and configure and on top of that add another level of immersion.

Bought a virtual fly yoke plus after several months of watching reviews and looking at the price but its totally worth the price went from the saitek yoke to the Yoko plus and it feels just like the cessna 172, would recommend it any day and has made my sim experience more fun.

BEST hardware for any Flight simulator plataform. Quality, price and service pre and post sale! One of his kind.

Virtual Fly makes great products. I have the original Yoko, TQ6, and Ruddo. I have had them for many years, and they still look and feel the same as when they came out of the box. The only gripe I have is that my Yoko potentiometer went bad a few months ago, and I had to replace that. Now, my trim switches are starting to go as well. However, I still believe these are excellent products with top notch build quality and have no issue recommending them to anyone. These minor issues are to be expected after years of constant, almost daily use. Also, Virtual Fly was extremely helpful by providing a guide to replace the parts that have gone bad, and providing a link where to order them. Excellent customer service!

These folks aren't fooling around. Real top notch gear, and a nice variety of choices, from simple throttle quadrants to basically fully fledged cockpits for certified training. For example my TQ-6 throttle quadrant - sturdy, well built, and with perfectly noiseless axis, with reverse/feather/cutoff-detents and segments. If you ever see an AATD certified simulator anywhere, odds are great that there is some Virtual Fly gear in it. I haven't had need of customer service, but I hear that it is good - which is to be expected by a high end company. If you're serious about getting some new hardware, and mean to use it a lot, it will be worth it. If you're just very casually using simulators, it's probably on the too expensive side. This gear is meant to be used.:)

Makers of excellent flight simulation hardware, including peripherals, a G1000, and a new line of switch components. They are not cheap, so this is not a company you buy from if your intent is to fly casually. However, their quality is high, so if you are someone who sees flight simming as a lifetime hobby, or if you are a flight school looking to create or upgrade an existing simulator, this may be a company to consider.

I can only speak to their peripherals, as those are the only items that I own (I have three of their throttles). They are made almost entirely from metal and use high-quality hall-effect sensors, which do not degrade over time due to use. (That is part of the reason their products are expensive: hall effect sensors are not cheap. They are probably the most expensive components in these devices.) As far as I can tell, their products are all handmade, as well.

Their support has been responsive and personal both before and after sales, and even though the company is based in Spain, I have had no problems communicating with them in English. In one case, something went wrong with one of my orders, and the company made things right for me. So they have proven themselves to be honest and trustworthy in the way that they do business with me.

This is not a product review, but there are a handful of constructive reasons why I rated the company a 4 instead of a 5, and I only think it is fair to the company to explain why the rating was not perfect:
- Their V3RNIO+ throttle is very heavy (again, an all-metal construction, but still considerably heavier than the TQ3+ and TQ6+ throttles I own). Heavy enough that it is cumbersome to put on and off your desk and could crack a tile floor (or a bare foot) if it fell off your desk. Also, because it is handmade, the shell actually bows in the middle by maybe 1 mm or so. Not a big deal, except that you can feel it when you run your finger along the top edge where it meets the faceplate. That also has implications when building a home cockpit.
- The TQ3+ and TQ6+ throttles have very tight detents, making them difficult to operate without being clamped onto a desk. The open nature of the TQ3+ and TQ6+ mean that dust can enter inside. I don't see that affecting the performance negatively, but there is no easy way to open these devices to clean them out, either. I would like to see brushes on the openings to keep dust out.

There are other reasons, too, but this is not a product review. All in all, though, my experience with this company has been very positive. I have recommended the company to several people and expect to buy from them again when they introduce another product I need. I consider myself a lifetime customer.
