CH Throttle Quadrant.

Having just got the above I have set it up for two engine ops. Is there anyway to set it up for four props at a flick of a swich or do I have to go through the whole palaver of assignments etc if I want to fly four engines. I know it is lazy but time is restricted.

Do you have registered FSUIPC?

[simondix]

Yes I do.

[DaveB]

I think you can save different profiles within FSUIPC mate. This should make it easier to chop from a twin to a 4-engined model

You can tell FSUIPC to automatically map the throttles according to how many engines the aircraft has, so in a twin, the 2 throttles work as you would expect, and in a 4 engined aircraft engines 1 & 2 are controlled by the first lever, 3 & 4 by the second.

[simondix]

Thankyou.

[simondix]

I have had a look but I feel it is above my capabilities even following the instructions. I tried to progamme but could only get one throttle axis to show. I will leave well alone and stick to two engines. That leaves a Viscount at Heathrow.

[DaveB]

It's been a while since I had mine and I can't really remember how I set it up now but one thing I DO remember is that I found it incredibly difficult to syncronise 4 engines using it. Even syncronising 2 engines on a turbo-prop was a bit of a chore which is why I let it go in the end. It was great on twin piston aircraft though.. controlling prop pitch was less traumatic than using a mouse

Being forced to leave a Viscount at LHR is a bit of a cop out. It's not the Viscounts fault

Sorry about the cop out Dave. I just don't know how to get round it.

[DaveB]

I'm sure Fraser will fly it out at some point

As it happens, I've often wished since that I'd not given mine away but there you go. The same goes for TrackIR. My generosity gets the best of me sometimes
