ACARS, Before you spend lots of money on a yoke and pedals you might try to borrow a yoke from someone, or at least get one on sale or return. I have never used a yoke on Flitepro myself, but I know people who have spent a lot of money on them to try and reduce the sensitivity and then found it is just the same as with a joystick.
Changing the joystick sensitivity in the set up routines is a better (cheaper=better) bet in my view.
I also question the cost-effectiveness of rudder pedals on these sims. Your money is probably better spent on an extra flying lesson.
There are various internet newsgroups for flight sims, and re-curring moans from people who can't get rudder pedals to work correctly with computer flight sims.
Just suggesting a bit of caution in the hope it may save you some money and disappointment.
