Hi Bill,
Thanks for letting me know. Brunner will be shipping the yoke out tomorrow. I'm already researching my options in getting the FI motorized trim wheel to work the same as real life trim. That should be fun!
The FI yoke was swapped out by my good friends over at FI, but the flying school where I have based this simulator isn't happy with even the swapped out unit. So, I've decided to go for the Brunner now. The CLS2Sim external control protocol at least makes a lot of things possible now.
Thanks for the info, I was expecting to have to do the same, i.e remove the rear panel. Also, as the FI yoke shaft seems to sit slightly higher in the yoke box than the Brunner (according to the drawings), I'm expecting to have to come up with a solution to raise the yoke mounting position as well.
Thanks
Rynardt
