OcPrices: CH Products Flight Sim Yoke & Pro Pedals [USB]
Introduction
I assume you have a worthless game controller or at the very best you are using one of Microsoft's less-than substantial offerings. It's time to grow up and become a game god. Ask me how you can fulfill this destiny. Ask me! O.K. I’ll tell you. You go to CH Products’ website and you buy their expensive game devices. Yes, I did say expensive, but you get what you pay for. Today we are focusing on the Flight Sim Yoke and the Pro Pedals. And together, we will explore the high and lows of these two products.

Before we begin the review, I want to cover a few things that I missed in the previous one. I was really displeased with the demo titles that CH Products included. Such titles include ASA OnTop 7.0, 4x4 Evolution, and Land Warrior. These games are horrible. They’re incredibly old and nowhere near today’s graphic engines. They completely drain all the fun out of CH Products’ game devices. That company has too much potential to be delivering ancient games like that. I admit, I do find some ancient games to be rather joyful to play with, mostly space simulators, but in my opinion, I don’t think anyone will enjoy these demos.
