Thinking of getting the 6 stick throttle quadrant by ch. I have
saitek x52 and rudder pedals. Will the ch throttle detect the saitek
stuff and decide not to work though? I had heard a while ago that
the 2 weren't compatible which is why I ask. Do any of you run that kind
of setup?

I believe if you use the game mapping system you'll have no problem. Remember the x52 stick runs through the throttle.

Yes, it will...
I currently have 2 CH Prothrottles and a CH Throttle Quadrant hooked up to my machine. The only limit I know of is hardware based, in regards to number of USB devices.

Thanks for the reply guys!

OK, I'll bite on this one. Why two throttles, I understand for the twin engine 38, but isn't it hard to work two actual throttles?
Just curious

Told me what? That he had a modified CH Throttle. I know Bronk you have been out of game for a while, but some things have changed. Here let me help you out. This is a picture of a CH Throttle.

We have gotten past the age of using the "+" and "-" keys. :D

It was all suppose to be a funnay. Not everything I say is an assault on your delicate sensibilities... sheesh.

Back to the subject, Delirium did you do that modification, or is it done by someone else?

I built it back in June of 2008.

I'm still using it, once in a while (about every 3-4 months) the throttles get out of sync and I need to recalibrate.

Got bit by the 109 bug. I got the 6stick quadrant to use trims and
keep my hands off the keyboard unless typing. Wow what a difference in airmanship it is.

{Snip} I got the 6stick quadrant to use trims {Snip}
Unlike other sims I've flown, I found analog trim to be extremely problematic in AH - instead of actually moving the trim surfaces, when you move the trim axis, it seems to "register" the final amount of trim you want, and then the trim actually moves to that amount at a rate that seems to equal that of how much it moves when you are holding down the trim keys. Which makes it nearly impossible to make precise adjustments - you are constantly over and undershooting your desired state of trim, especially in aircraft that change equilibrium a lot with fluctuations in airspeed.
How do you deal with this issue? Or has it been changed, in which case I'll dig out my throttle quadrant again?

First let me state I only use manual trim in a p-38. I use an X-52 and have one of the rotaries set as elevator trim. You have to turn it somewhat slow bot it does work fine.
