It's too bad Suzo-Happ discontinued the flight yoke. I saw some on eBay, researching a flight sim project I was working on, and thought about getting one and machining it to a Happ joystick, but the weight of the yoke and the added leverage it would provide are two big unknowns, and makes that an iffy solution.
But how about an actual yoke--from the Cessna scrapyard--retrofitted to send serial signals to the simulator processor? Alas, my budget didn't warrant that kind of ingenuity.

When the commercial video arcade game market suffers, so does the exhibit design field!
