Hey,if you want it a little bit more real and analog reverse thrust!it is possible with a few euro for aluminiun and a little bit handwork!also you need 2saitek-Quadrants and FSUIPC4regardsJürgen

Wow! That looks good.What about the drivers? you had to write them?

it is all adjustable with FSUIPC4 ,no saitekdriver!regardsJürgen

Hi,There is no need for this. If you move your trottle down in the red zone it will activate a key press. In FSUIPC you can assign that key press to decrease throttle, repeat while key is pressed and then return to idle. Works for me like a charm.Regards,Peter AertssenAmsterdam

That maybe so Peter but the point of this modification is to be easily able to use proportional reverse thrust as is the case in the real aircraft. If you just use the buttons at the bottom of the travel of the lever you can't select reverse idle in the MD11 for example. I think Jürgen's modification is very elegant, I wish I had the tools to do the same thing for myself.

Just a thought, based on my Saitek X36 and not having the throttle quads not sure if it cn be fabricated.As FSUIPC allows you to set a reverse point on your throttle, why not stretch a thick elastic band across the throttles at the point of reverse, basically replacing the aluminium?To go to idle just let the throttles rest on the elastic then for reverse pull down against the elastic, at the end of reverse use the elastic will help put the throttles back to idle.

That is actually a very smart idea with the rubber band. Gotta try it out! :)

Do the knobs that you have on engine 2 and 3 come with the add-on USB throttle quadrant? I'm curious because i ordered mine so i can fly the NGX when it comes out. Its not going to be in my possession until a week or so. Thanks in advance.- Raul Ramirez

You need a saw and a file for that. I did the same as the OP, the throttle quadrant comes with 4 engine knobs connected into one large piece.

You have to build it from the large piece ,like Gerrit says regards Jürgen

Oh wow, well i guess imma be buyin' a saw then...lol. Hey sorry to go off subject, maybe i can post my setup and see if anyone can recommend a better way of mount all my gear. I will post a picture later though. That's exactly what I was trying to look for all over the net last night. Also, Saitek's got a 10% off Flight sim stuff http://store.gameshark.com/ I found out about it after seeing Cloudfreak1 with his 2nd throttle and thought maybe i should get my throttle now, good choice. So if you guys need something get it today...it ends today.- Raul Ramirez

Unfortunately gameshark doesn't deliver to Canada.

Oh i see, they don't have a special there. Well ebay i found a throttle for 6 bucks cheaper but i just went with gameshark just because its easier to track for warranty purposes. That is if that's what you were searching for.- Raul Ramirez

I'm still trying to figure why Saitek choose to make a four engine lever like a single engine lever? :( It doesn't make sense to me, physically connecting four axes and then assigning each engine to its own axis? In that case you would always assign only one axis to control all four engines. They better had produced nice wide separate knobs 4x, for the best multi engine experience instead of the four narrow ones you get too but have big gaps inbetween.

That's awesome, Jürgen. Nice job.
