I have been using an AV8R-01 for years and finally upgraded as my old one was falling apart. The dual throttles seemed to be stuck together with a piece of plastic. Does anyone have an AV8R-03? Is it actually dual throttled? I'll be disappointed if not... :confused:
-
You don't need no stinkin' dual throttles. :P

I rarely use my dual throttles, but every once in a while it works really nice to snap the wings over near stall and get the plane to go the way you want it to.

Yes I do :cry
I know they don't do much to help. It's just a psychological thing.

Isn't there like a little button on the side that makes them detach? My friend had an AV8R of some type and thats how it works.
-
There is a spring button between the two... if they're stuck, you could probably just tap out the little plastic tab, or cut it with a razor.
-
The AV8R-01 has a spring button. This one has a solid plastic tab. Once I get in game I'll see if there's even an option to map two seperate throttles. If there is, that would suggest the second throttle can infact be moved independently.
-
I just did some research. It is not actually dual throttle.
.... and from what I read... good luck making it fully work on a PC.
-
I use AV8R-01, and have both throttles mapped independantly, and they work fine.

There seems to be a lot of folks pissed at the 03.

Great :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear that, that really blows.
-
Oh well. It isn't dual throttled but seems to work fine. I'll just use it until it breaks, then switch to CH
-
Grr...already don't like it. The axis are way too stiff, the throttle calibration is a bit off...it seems to be sticking somewhere. :furious
-
I got the 01 because of the stiffness in the controls... I thought Saiteks felt too chinsey, didn't have any feedback.
-
I'm sure the spring will get worn down eventually. I can always grease the pivot point up a bit too.
-
....or just return it. Their advertising is misleading. There are also complaints about the base is too lite allowing it to move around because of still springs.
-
Yep, the base is too light. I'll keep it, though. I'm sure I will get used to it eventually. If not, I can buy something else and use this as a backup.

Why not try the Saitek Cyborg FLY 5. It's got dual throttles and is in the same price range.

Have one brand new sitting in my closet. Tried it a few times and didn't like it. The design is a bit better, but I never quite fell in love with it.
