Have ordered a 737G throttletek throttle. Hope to have it in a couple of months.

Hey guys, I have had no issues at all with simquads. Its been a great purchase. I have it working perfectly with the NGX with minimal effort. You do need a registered copy of fsuipc and they do state that on their website. The only reason is for the reversers, and fuel cutoffs to work accordingly. Other than that you only use the main fs control section to assign the axis of each function. It took me a total of 5 minutes to have it up and running for the NGX. Doesnt get any better than that! There is nothing quite like havnig a set of throttles for the NGX, It sure adds to the experiance, personally for me I will never go back to anything else.Greg Keath

 

Hi

 

Do you think if I buy a 737ng throttle (non-motorized) can a upgrade it to be motorized later, any manufacture who will support the opertunity?

Have ordered a 737G throttletek throttle. Hope to have it in a couple of months.

 

I ordered the 767 throttles from Throttletek over 6 months ago and I am still waiting for them

They look pretty good and a nice price tag too :P

Just curious have you written to them and asked for this taking so long time? And what was their answer? And you have paid them?

I might order my throttle at their place. :-)

Still waiting for simquad to reopen up so I can order the NGX throttle. The only thing missing would be motorized and backlighting. I hope some day to purchase a fully backlighted MIP (flight deck solutions anyone?) so this is important.

Hi,

 

FSUIPC is an incredible tool for setting up hardware, I completely dumped VRAC's throttle quad software and I now run the quad via FSUIPC, its an amazing piece of software. If its a USB type setup, I'm sure your not going to have a problem.

 

Hi OmniAtlas,

 

If your looking for motorized throttle quad, look no further than: http://www.revolutio...e_Throttle.html

Yes, but extremely expensive. It seems all the motorized are over 1000 USD -- I'm not ready to part with that cash so easily.

 

It seems the company Northern Flight Sim can convert a real throttle, motorize and back light it for a fee. I'm still trying to determine how much this cost...

Sim Revolution is probably the best throttles currently available, if you can wait long enough.

 

I ordered mine in march and haven't even had an email from them in months. I hear from a few recent buyers that a year can be a reasonable wait for them.

Shame about that, as they have a great product.

Hi,

 

If your talking Flight Deck Solutions, you better get yourself ready for the price tag. :lol: $1000.00 is pocket change compared to FDS!.

The throttles by SimQuads are affordable compared to FDS and the other manufacturers on offer. The only other one I can think of which has a close resemble to the real NGX throttle is throttleteks 737, but then again, they do not have a trim wheel.

 

I'm still investigating my options with FDS for an MIP -- the only advantage I can think of at this stage with them vs flyengravity and simworld would be their intergrated back lighting.

I have no experience with the SimQuads throttles but for what it's worth I use the throttletek g-737 throttle (http://www.throttletek.com/) with the NGX with great success. I did some minor physical modifications like adding a parking brake annunciator and stabilizing the levers a little for example. But as stated, it does not have a trim wheel.

 

The device can supposedly be configured entirely by using FSUIPC but the manual doesn't explain how to access the NGX-specific controls and I had limited success using FSUIPC mouse macros for some things. I guess you could do it by playing with the right LVARS but that seemed too complicated so I wrote a small standalone software that used the NGX SDK instead. This way it's also possible read the state of all the levers/switches upon start and sync to the NGX. (I think that FSUIPC can only react to changes rather than the initial position of e.g. a joystick button press?)
