CH DUEL PRO THROTTLE :) (PIC INSIDE)

Sorry for the bad pic, first time using digital camera, shoulda spent more time with it. Construction details and better pics coming to a webpage soon.

Check out what I made over the last week. I chopped up my CH Pro Throttle and made it two! Every P38 pilot needs one!

All you need is two gameports or USB controllers with the gameport available.

I intended for the 2 top buttons to start the left and right engines, but unfortunately unless HT adds a 'toggle engine #2' into stick mapping, all I can do is select them. This is a problem however because if you don't remember to select 'all' engines again only one throttle will work until you do!! So I guess I'll just have to find other uses for them        .

Basically all I did was wire up another contoller and plug it into my PDPI L4, select a 3 axis, 4 button (how it was wired) joystick, calibrated it, and assigned the controls in Aces! Works awesome! Already have used it effectively        

It did take some time fabricating solid, slop free linkages, and I purchased good quality pots. This was necessary to get the throttles synched properly.

Well, off to use it.....cya's up.

I give up, I'm to tired to figure it out, just click or copy and paste

 I remember you mentioning this a couple of weeks ago!  Been waiting for the pictures!!  

 The picture link still doesn't work yet. But I'l seriously consider any modifications to get dual throttle capability!!

I imagine this thing would make a b26 or Ju88 a LOT more nimble.

Imagine a Goon with THIS!! LOL! You'd be forcing the spittys to auger! LOL!

Rip will be all over this when his P61 comes out...

Excellant work(manship)!
I would never have the guts to take my beloved pro throttle near my bandsaw.

TS,

   Very nice! When HT gives you independent engine throttles you'll really have that 38 spinin'!

We got independant control of engines now Ash, that's why I 'chopped 'er in half'  . And it works great!
