Hey, does anyone know where I can find a cheap-ish USB Throttle Quadrant? I know about CH Throttles, but I don't really want one of those. Preferably one that resembles a twin engine jet aircraft. Its just I've been flying on FS 2004 since 2003 with only a Saitek ST90, and I think its time I made the experience a bit more realistic!Cheers

Check out Go Flight.Avsim store is one of the places that sells it.Gerry

Thanks for that, I'll check them out. :-)

Not cheap but worth a look:http://www.flypfc.com/tquadconsole/tquad.htmlI did not like the CH-Throttle aswell, so that's why I built my own 2-engine quadrant. Material cost 60$, but I spent up to 40 hours of design and machineshop dutytime. There's always a drawback.Regards - Valentin

Thankyou again for replying. I think its better making your own... kind of.. You get a sense of accomplishment when you make you own. Its just you need the patience and time! :-)

suncom f-18 split throttle. it was designed to work as a hotas with the suncom f-15 talon. it is kinda weird, f-18 throttle with f-15 stick. theres 2 set of stick and throttle on now ebay for about $20. the f-18 throttle has two levers for both engines. problem: its a gameport throttle.http://www.combatsim.com/archive/htm/htm_arc4/sunthr.htm

With some additional invesment and labor, of course, the gameport device can be replaced by usb controllerFor example Open cockpit usb card or betainnovations module here the link:http://betainnovations.com/another option is http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/joystick/index.htmlDissasebled old usb joysick electonic is alsow an option if thats meets your needs--quantity of buttons and axesSo you may use the mechanicks , pots, and buttons of you purchassed gameport device and with addition of usb module electronics, enjoy the advantages of usb connectionHope thats helps

Thanks for all your replies guys. I thank you all!
