If you're using this system I'd be happy to pick your brain on button/switch assignments...mainly in terms of the throttle hardware.

Thats a very personal topic and I really dont think it should be discussed on a public board like this one. :confused:
Joking aside, I never had the Warthog throttle, but I have had a bunch of others. My thoughts are to put the basic buttons on the stick, and the "add on" buttons on the throttle. By basic I would put things like views with their modifiers guns and bomb release, WEP, gear, doors, all the general basic type actions.
The throttle would have all the add-ons to aid in the game, flaps, zoom on/off, zoom in/out maps, map zooms, check 6, and so on.
The reason being is while I fly/fight my right hand is working to stay in the fight, tracking, keeping my eyes on the target, controlling the plane. My left hand then does all the things to help the right stay in the fight, flaps, SA with maps, zooming and such. Right hand flys, left hand helps.
As for button assignments, that again personal. Some people have unbelievable thumb control.....might have something to do with phones and texting :) and so pack as many commands into those hat switches, others may use the finger buttons better

If you put in someone else's button setup it will be much harder to remember.

Agreed.... don't learn bad habits and you don't have to "unlearn" them.
