March 13, 200521 yr I bought the CH twin engine throttle quadrant a while ago. I've created different configs for flying piston singles, piston twins, and turboprops. I'm having trouble finding things to set all of the switches to.For single engine planes, I've just been flying without the TQ plugged in and using the throttle, prop and mixture controls on my CH Yoke. Eventually I will get to the singe engine config for the TQ. I don't fly very many turboprops, so I haven't even started on the config for it yet.I'm mainly working on the config for piston twins right now. Here's how I have it set up currently:On the Yoke:left trigger = both brakesbottom left thumb button = AP mastertop left thumb button = FD masterleft rocker switch = elevator trimright trigger = spoiler toggleright rocker = left/right differential brakeshat swtch = view controlleft switch = gear up/downright switch = flaps up/downOn the TQ:[pre]Lever | Throttle1 | Throttle2 | Prop1 | Prop2 | Mixture1 | Mixture2------------|------------------|------------------|-------|-------|----------------|--------------Switch up | Cowl Flap 1 up | Cowl Flap 2 up | Empty | Empty | Mag 1 Decrease | Mag 2 DecreaseSwitch down | Cowl Flap 1 down | Cowl Flap 2 down | Empty | Empty | Mag 1 Increase | Mag 2 Increase[/pre]As you can see, I haven't dicided what to do with the two switches under the two prop levers.I also just got the Saitek gaming keyboard with the programmable button pad (9 buttons + 2 shift buttons = 27 functions). I can't even figure out what to do with all of the switches on my yoke/TQ, now I've got more buttons to program. I'm just looking for ideas, so for those of you with the CH TQ and/or the Saitek Gamers keyboard, what have you programmed all of the buttons to do?
