Throttle Quadrants

Thanks guys. I use CH rudder pedals that have lasted going on 6 years now so this throttle quadrant looks cool. More switches is a plus.

Right now I use a few rotories on my x52 throttle but I'd like to use those for trim.

I have the CH and realy like it, you will be glad to have the extra levers for bombers too

I know! I love to fly bombers and twin engine planes!

Curious to what you guys have your throttle quadrants set for? Throttle (obviously), oil rads, prop pitch, even flaps? I'm sure you guys come up with some awesome stuff can't wait. I'll probably pick one up come tax return time.

I have the CH Quadrant which works really well. I use it for mixture, radiator, elevator and rudder trim (with 2 unused axis for now). I use the Warthog split throttle for throttle and prop pitch (I fly Spits and Hurries).

When I do start to fly bombers I'll be rethinking the levers for multi engine control.

What would be cool is if IL2 had a feature to map controls for individual planes. So if flying a 4 engine bomber I could load my profile for it, and then load my single engine profile, then my twin engine fighter profile, all on the fly in the sim. That would be awesome.

I'm really excited now to get this thing. How do you guys mount them to your desks? I have an Obutto gaming cockpit so I don't have any desk space really. I was looking into a RAM mount possibly.

In IL-2 CloD you are able do to this. Use "SAVE AS" in stick/buttons config screen.

You can go to a DIY solution!

I have built a demo (just to get the know how).

Another built from 335th_GRWotan, costs less than 40€

The CH 6-way quadrant doesn't look as though it has much travel for the levers.

Any comments from users?
