Afraid i won't be of any help to you, Caz, though i have used that Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System too without any problem. But that's a long time ago now. For a while i don't use a Yoke anymore because of limited deskspace. I use a flightstick that fits neatly beside my keyboard.
That said, since this topic is about controller devices, mainly because of our new DC-3 and also DC-6 and possibly even because of the forthcoming AH Lancaster, i am looking for an adjustable throttle quadrant. (which i hope to stick to a seperate removeable small table..;-)
I was nearly ready to order one of the NXT Throttle Combos by VKB Sim (anyone possibly familiar with VKB ??...) when i stumbled over Honeycomb Bravo Throttle mentioned here by Flameout. Must say that looks quite fantastic !
On top of that i also stumbled over a company called 'FlightSimFactory' that sells a truckload of various throttle quadrant lever styles that can be used with the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle. Ranges f.i. from a Spitfire Throttle/Prop/Mix levers setup to a 777 throttle quadrant with all other Boeing and Airbus quadrant style stuff in between.
But what i bought is a throttle quadrant style set for the DC-3 as well as for the DC-6 ! Wow!
So, is anybody familiar with these Bravo Throttle additions by FlightSimFactory ? Would love to know about the quality f.i. Must say i'm not sure about those fairly thick raised P,T,M letters on top of the knobs. Looks to me like these levers may well have been be printed... ?
Nontheless, i have often been thinking how wonderful it would be if we could have a throttle quadrant that would more or less resemble that of a DC-3 or DC-6. Now that we have our glorious MSFS ( well, just about, almost there..) as our breathtaking virtual flying theatre and a brand new vintage DC-3 alongside an even more vintage DC-6 a more or less authentic throttle quadrant to fly them i think is genuinly and deffinately the icing on the cake !!
Don't you think ??....
Would love to know what y'all Douglas afficionados think about this.
