Verdict for X-Plane 12
The Logitech G Pro Flight Yoke suits simmers moving up from a gamepad in X-Plane 12, since the throttle quadrant in the box gives you three levers for throttle, prop and mixture. There's no trim wheel, no rudder axis, and Logitech doesn't claim contactless sensors.

Pros & Cons for X-Plane 12
Strengths
- The throttle quadrant is in the box with three levers, so in a piston single you set throttle, prop and mixture by hand and lean in cruise instead of tapping keyboard keys.
- 25 programmable buttons and switches across the yoke and quadrant, and X-Plane 12 lets you map any of them, so gear, flaps and autopilot disconnect are under your thumb on a hand-flown approach.
- 180 degrees of roll on a metal shaft with centering springs, which means the wheel returns toward level when you relax your grip after rolling out of a turn; it suits general aviation flying in X-Plane 12, and rudder pedals added later complete the three axes for taxiing and crosswind landings.
Trade-offs
- It's an older design, and owners often mention a slight notch around the center of the pitch axis, which can make the tiny corrections you use on short final feel steppy; a small dead zone (a bit of travel near center that X-Plane ignores) hides it.
- Logitech never says the main axes use contactless Hall-effect sensors, the kind that read position with no parts rubbing, so jitter can creep in with age and recalibration becomes part of the routine; the next step up in price buys those sensors, plus a trim wheel you roll to take the pressure off the yoke in the climb.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good Flight Yoke for X-Plane 12?
Yes, if you're stepping up from a gamepad or a joystick to fly Cessnas and light twins in X-Plane 12, where it scores 58.5/100. It shines because the three-lever throttle quadrant arrives in the same box, so throttle, prop and mixture are real levers from day one, and the 25 inputs cover gear, flaps and lights. It shows its age on the pitch axis around center and on the sensors, which Logitech doesn't describe as contactless.
Is it worth the price for X-Plane 12?
For the money you get two pieces of hardware, a yoke and a throttle quadrant, which is the quickest way to a proper GA cockpit for X-Plane 12. Spending more on a yoke alone buys contactless sensors, longer pitch travel, metal internals and a trim wheel, but then the quadrant is still a separate purchase.
Which platforms does it work on?
This is a PC-only device, so plan on flying X-Plane 12 on a Windows PC with it. X-Plane 12 isn't on Xbox or PS5, so console licensing never comes into it, and on PC you can assign every axis and button yourself and set a response curve and null zone per axis.
What else do I need with it?
The throttle quadrant is already included, so the main gap is rudder: there are no rudder controls built into this yoke, and you'll want rudder pedals for taxiing, keeping the nose straight on the roll and kicking out the drift in a crosswind landing. You also need a sturdy desk edge for the clamp, since the yoke takes a real pull in the flare.
How should I configure this in X-Plane 12?
In X-Plane 12, open the controller setup first and check that pitch, roll and the three levers are assigned to the right functions and that pitch isn't reversed. Then add a small null zone around center and soften the sensitivity curve if the pitch feels twitchy, and because there's no trim wheel, map nose-up and nose-down trim to a pair of buttons so you can trim off the pressure in the climb.
