I have a B-52 that I'd sure like to add the throttle quadrant. I have searched all over and can't find any 6 0r 8 engine throttle quadrants. Does anyone know if one is available, and if so, where? Thanks, Bob.

The CH quadrant is 6-way. I don't know of a specific 8-way throttle quadrant, but it is certainly possible to use multiple throttle quadrants on one system (I use 2 x CH 6-way quadrants on my setup). The problem that I see, though, is how you set up any quadrant to control engines above #4. As far as I know, the FSX Controls system only allows you to address engines 1 thru 4. Others may know different !

Hi Dick. Thanks. I should have described my request better. I was looking for a software throttle quadrant gauge with 6 or 8 throttles and not a hardware throttle quadrant. I can find several 4 engine quadrants but none for 6 or 8 engine planes like the B-36 or B-52. I appreciate the help. Maybe because FSX only supports 4 engines nobody has made such a gauge. Regards, Bob.

I think you only can use dummy throttles.

So for engine 1,3,5 and 7 the normal throttle code and for 2,4,6 and 8 dummy code.

Look in the 747.cab (fs9) for xml synthax.

Use a L:Var for the dummies.

Only effect is ofcourse visual.

Hi Jan. OK. Thanks. I'll look into your suggestion. Best regards, Bob.

You could try to make it more realistic by reducing the %power-range in the clickarea of the #1 engine and add the rest in the #2 etc.

Then you will have max power only when all throttles are at full.

Thanks Jan. Regards, Bob.
