Saitek Quadrant What Do you use buttons for?

[megs8888 20]

Just wishing to know what controls you map to the buttons on your quadrants, I have 2 so that's 12 buttons I can use thanks everyone.

i have  only one tq plus multi panel and switch panel also from saitek, i assigned to the first couple of button parking brakes toggle  and spoilers arm, the second to primary and secondary fs2crew buttons and the engine primer to one of the third couple of buttons, left the last button unassigned for the moment.. 

Hope this helps..

 

Bye.

Thanks what are the Fs2 crew buttons?

While i have all the buttons on the yoke itself mapped to various functions, I don't use the rocker switches on the throttle quadrant at all.  When I mount the TQ so it's comfortable to use, i find those switches aren't in the best spot to use for anything other than occasional use.  As well, I have the switch panel, so for most GA planes I have enough switches, and for anything else I would need far far more than that.

 

I'm actually considering modding the TQ and replacing those switches with proper toggle switches; then mounting one of those toggles so it works sideways - then I might use two of them for setting rudder trim and such.

Yes your right they are not in a great spot. Let me know if you mod them and how you do it I might do the same. Cheers

Flaps up and down, Gear up and down, and Cowl Flaps up and down

You can use them in ........ Engine 1 2 3 4 cuttoff, parking brake & spoilers ARM.

Is it me or are they a real pain in the arse to use to small, so not in use.

ideal spot for a to/ga switch in a jet !!

I use mine for manual gear retraction/deployment (for the A2A Spitfire) and for cowl flaps/oil cooler flaps for the An-2. The last two I haven't found a use for but TO/GA is a new idea.

I had two...Threw them away! CH throttle does the lot. :smile:

And to think I just picked up a second unit a few weeks ago!

I use mine to bring up the atc , GPS, 2d engine panel and to change the view modes Use the red lever for speed brake blue for flaps and black for throttle

[robb13 22]

Like boxdog above, I've worked out they are best used to bring up panels as required... GPS / Engine quad / radios / ATC / flightplan etc

I have my two quadrant set up as spoilers on the first lever, two throttles, two condition levers and the last one as landing gear - all through FSUIPC.

 

For the switches I use the first one for flaps extend/retract, the next two for fuel cut off switches under the two throttles, the next two for various light toggles and the last one (under the gear lever) for floats.
