Does the Leo Bodnar fix work with AF?

Got the Pro Flight yoke and interested at buy the Leo Bodnar BU0836A board to fix the deadzone. Will this show up as a device in AF?

Thanks.

Yes. Done it myself. No hassle.

Excellent thank you, and in your opinion is it worth doing?

Absolutely. Much more sensitivity. I'm still not happy with the yoke overall though. Can't resolve the detent around pitch centre. I've taken out the springs, switched to elastic bands (actually my own bungee cord version) and sprayed it with every type of lube Amazon sells. What I'm often left with is something that has two centre points at best trim - one pitches just down a bit, one pitches just up a bit. If you're happy with the detent and just want better proportionate sensitivity the 12bit LB card does the job though.

Ok thanks, I will try out rubber bands too.

I know the yoke has its issues, but I think it's still better flying the Cessna with it than my HOTAS, particularily for that extra immersion in VR.
