Is a Flight Yoke easier to fly with than a joystck?

If the plane has rudder trim that can help. But yeah twist rudder is more suited to combat antics not a 15 knot crosswind gusting to 35 or so .

Iā€™ve flown with Joysticks in Simulators for many, many years before I started flying in real life. Talk about an awkward transition! While I now have a preference for yokes, there is still a certain ā€œfeelā€ to a joystick that the yoke doesnā€™t have - and I think that boils down to overall better space management compared to a yoke. I use a Honeycomb Yoke now for a lot of my simming, and in terms of precision and utilization it serves its purpose exceedingly well. Does it take up a large amount of space on my desk compared to my Thrustmaster? Absolutely. They both offer precise controls but for me serve as temporary inputs which change based on what Iā€™m flying: I personally canā€™t fly an F-15 with a yoke, much like I couldnā€™t fly the twin otter with a joystick (I thinkā€¦).
