I am aware of one fairly significant problem using the CLS-E yoke, which I noticed because in XP 12 the default C172 has a tendency to pitch down during take-off roll and then require a much greater pull on the yoke to rotate. Here is the text of the ticket I opened on the Helpdesk:
“In X-Plane 12, using the default C172 (and most probably other aircraft), as soon as the CLS2Sim is connected, the elevator goes to the maximum down position and stays there unless moved by the yoke. Aerodynamic forces have no effect on it, whether engine running, parking brake on and increasing throttle; or, on the take-off roll.
This can be verified by looking at the values of the 2 elevator data output, which go to and remain at -1 and 15 degrees.
What is worse is that disconnecting the hardware in the CLS2Sim software does not change the situation; one has to restart X-Plane for the elevator to be released.”
