Throttle Quadrants

[kestrel79]

Since CloD is so much more detailed I was thinking about getting a throttle quadrant. Who makes then these days? I know CH has one, does Saitek too I forget? Anyone else? What does everyone think of them pretty good?

I do have a Saitek quadrant, not "top of the line" as some might say, but to me best bang for the buck ratio.
Three levers, each with a button function when moved all the way to the top (to be used as an afterburner for example in a 109) and three rocker switches, i.e. six additional buttons (pitot heater on/off for example).
Works absolutely perfectly for me, installation was just plug and play.

Of course in game you will have to map all the functions/axes you want manually.

Go to CH throttle quadrant, around 100 U$, 6 axis, 6 two way switchs.

Saitek throttle quadrant (around 60 U$) 3 axis, 3 two way switchs, use weak pots:

I use the CH Quadrant.

Sure is easier than clicking the cockpit "levers".

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 CH products now. It has 6 levers and considering getting another.

I just converted over to all CH recently.
