After that you're left with mostly buttons, which you want to assign in a manner that makes sense depending on what you fly the most - anything you need in combat situations should be close and easy to use without moving either hand.

Let us know if you run into any issues or have more specific questions and ill jump back in. Its too bad you couldn't get the throttle quadrant to work as an axis for the trim as that would be superb. Does it work for any other axis, like throttle - or same problem?
I'm actually using prop pitch on the top rotary ATM, I just like the idea of having trim on an easily identifiable control as its a "constant" setting, like throttle, I find rotaries kinda hard to gauge visually.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the throttle quadrant, it worked okay in IL2 IIRC. I must investigate further but I really dont care much for fiddling with the controls in COD, it all seems a bit temperamental
