Author Topic: Prop control & CH Flightsim Yoke USB (Read 801 times)

I have a CH Flightsim Yoke USB that I use for most AH flying. This yoke has three throttle levers. Currently I have mapped the first axis to control engine #1, the second for #2 and #3, and the third for #4.

However - what I would REALLY like to see is the capabilty to map prop pitch to one of the second handles. I'd be willing to give up the individual engine control for pitch control.

So.. how many of you have a Flightsim Yoke USB with the three throttle levers? If there's enough of us interested, perhaps we can lobby for a mappable prop-control axis.

Comments? Thoughts? Am I the only person who doesn't use a joystick?

...maybe.

I think more people would want to map fuel mixture before prop pitch... but I may be wrong.

I have one also, and would love to control the mixture and pitch. The flight yoke is a blast to fly the p38 with.

Hi,
I use that same yoke for P-38 flying.

So I do most of my flying with it.

I agree mixture would be a great addition, but that assumes that HTC would be willing to add a manual mixture control to the sim engine. On the other hand, prop control is already there, just it's keyboard controlled for now. No question I'd ultimately love to see both though.
