Description
The Moza AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base brings the physical character of aircraft handling into your flight simulator, replacing passive yoke movement with forces you can actually feel. Its 4.2 Nm roll torque and 90 N push-pull pitch force introduce resistance and feedback as you bank, climb, and descend, while the 180° roll range and 95 mm pitch travel provide substantial room for control inputs. Add a carbon fiber reinforced composite housing, aluminum quick-release mechanism, and programmable switches, and the AY90 becomes a serious foundation for a home cockpit. Your virtual aircraft finally has something to say through the controls.
What Sets the Moza AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base apart?
-
Dual-Axis Force Feedback for More Informative Aircraft Handling Unlike conventional yoke bases that rely primarily on springs for resistance, the AY90 generates force feedback across both pitch and roll. Its 90 N push-pull pitch force and 4.2 Nm roll torque allow supported simulators to communicate changes in control loading through physical resistance. This can make aircraft handling more informative during climbs, turns, and approaches, particularly when flying aircraft where control forces are an important part of the experience. The actual effects depend on the simulator and aircraft integration.
-
Generous Control Movement with a 15-Bit Magnetic Encoder The AY90 provides ±90° of roll movement, giving pilots a full 180° of rotational travel, alongside 95 mm of push-pull pitch movement. A 15-bit magnetic encoder tracks motor position, supporting detailed control input measurement throughout the operating range. This combination is particularly useful when making small corrections during instrument approaches or larger inputs during demanding maneuvers. The broad roll range also gives the yoke a familiar mechanical character compared with shorter-travel desktop controllers.
-
Aluminum Quick Release and Flexible Cockpit Mounting The AY90 features an aluminum alloy quick-release system designed for changing compatible MOZA yoke attachments without tools. This is especially useful for pilots who alternate between different aircraft categories and prefer changing control hardware to suit the aircraft. The base also supports desk clamps, profile rails, and 80/20 aluminum extrusion structures, allowing it to fit into both compact desktop arrangements and dedicated flight simulator cockpits. Its 4.5 kg weight makes secure mounting particularly important.
-
Programmable Controls with Room for Cockpit Expansion The AY90 incorporates a five-way hat switch, four rocker switches, and two slider switches, providing additional inputs for frequently used cockpit functions. MOZA Cockpit software allows these controls to be configured for different aircraft and flying preferences. Dedicated expansion points on top of the base also support the installation of compatible gauges, displays, and custom accessories. This makes the AY90 more than a force feedback mechanism: it can serve as a central component in an evolving home cockpit.

The Moza AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base uses MOZA's aluminum quick-release system to connect compatible yoke attachments, allowing pilots to change control hardware without tools. Its mounting options include desk clamps, profile rails, and 80/20 aluminum extrusion cockpits, making it suitable for both conventional desks and dedicated simulator frames. The base connects to a PC using the supplied USB cable and requires 12 V, 6 A external power through its included adapter to operate the force feedback system.
For larger cockpit projects, the AY90 provides dedicated expansion points for compatible gauges, displays, and custom accessories. It can also operate alongside separately connected rudder pedals, throttle quadrants, and other PC flight controls, provided the simulator supports multiple input devices. The MOZA quick-release interface is not a universal connection for every third-party yoke, so mechanical and electrical compatibility must be established before attaching unrelated hardware. Secure mounting is essential because the base generates substantial pitch and roll forces during operation.

The Moza AY90 Force Feedback Yoke Base is designed for PC flight simulation and supports titles including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane, DCS World, and War Thunder. MOZA Cockpit provides control configuration and switch mapping, while the available force feedback effects depend on the simulator, aircraft, and software integration. Standard control assignments and motor-generated feedback should be considered separately, since a simulator recognizing the yoke does not automatically guarantee every feedback effect. The AY90 is not compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles, making it best suited to dedicated PC flight simulation setups.
