    The title says it. Does the Yoga 3 11 have an accelerometer? My Yoga 11s plays a Windows 8.1 flight sim game named F18 Carrier Landing. It works perfectly in what they call Accelerometer mode. But, the Yoga 3 11 will only play in what they call keyboard mode. BUMMER!!!

    But, I don't know if the Yoga 3 11 doesn't have an accelerator or if it has one but just doesn't work.

    Does anyone know what device in Device Manger would be the accelerometer, or any way to determine if one exists?

    Thanks for any advice,

    Edit: I finally talked to a Lenovo tech who knew something about the Yoga 3 11. He said that the Yoga 3 11 does not have a position sensor. He said that the 3 11 was more of a laptop than a tablet and that a position sensor was not included in the design! (Hey Lenovo, quit advertising a tablet mode if it does not have tablet capabilities.)
