Just thought I would give you guys a heads up about a company that build custom throttles for the A3xx and 737/777

 

The screenshots are quite plain but these are the basic models http://fsthrottles.com/Products.html

 

I have been liaising with an extremely helpful guy called Ricardo who has been building my A320 thrust levers at FSthrottles. You can customize the throttles as much as you want within your budget, for example I chose to pay a little extra for additional switches and thrust range markings to closely match the real thing.

 

They are now in the process of starting work on there 777 throttles which I will also be purchasing, the whole thing is very affordable and excellent value for money.

Hi,

 

As far as the a320 family of throttles are concerned, do you think that a reverse thrust option could be added, to fully mimic the real thing?

He's already shipped mine, from the pictures he sent me today the thrust levers have a reverse detent. The only thing missing is the reverse levers.

 

Using fsuipc I will be able to match the reverse detent and Climb, FLX/MCT, TOGA gates to match the positions within FS. I don't have access to a pc so can't post the final pics he sent.

Thanks for the extra info. Would it be possible please (assuming that you don't mind) for you to share the pictures when the opportunity arises? Only if you have some spare time however.

 

Thanks again.

Yeah sure, will try to upload tomorrow. I'm sure you could send him an email and he would send them to you directly.

 

All in all I am very happy with it, the only other A3xx replicas cost $4000 (designed for fixed base sims) and the go flight 737 cost $270 just for the handles.

This cost me just over $200 for the whole thing including all my custom modifications and shipping from New York to London. Beats my X52 throttle :)
