July 4, 201411 yr Author I agree that I don't want another joystick since I have only aircrafts with yokes. So that's another another +1 for CH... It would be nice to have a poll for the Saitek/CH question since everything else I've seen so far is in the 500$+ == insanity range. Can I add a poll somehow or is that a moderator job here (have signed up only a few days ago, sorry if obvious)? Best, Markus
July 4, 201411 yr I use the Saitek Throttle Quadrant x two. Take a look at the Saitek X55 also. Ric Elmore
July 11, 201411 yr Author Sorry, I was busy the last days. Since the CH quadrant is currently sold out at every shop which delivers to my city I ordered one Saitek quadrant now. If I'm happy with it I'll get a second one, if not I'll switch to CH once it becomes available again. Thanks for your input! Best, Markus

Taxiing around with one engine feathered is a joy with two throttle and two condition lever axis. I keep a black throttle cap on the last right axis for a flap lever. Haven't decided on a use for the 5th axis on the Dash 8 yet... Maybe the steering tiller? ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

But I wanted to try only one first (nr 1, nr 2, both cond levers on the third axis; flaps by keyboard) so that I only waste 53€ instead of 106€ if I'm not happy. Best, Markus

July 17, 201411 yr Author I got it in the meantime and beside of a few annoying problems with FSUIPC & EZDOK I'm loving my new setting Only thing that disturbs me a little is the desk mounting since I always crash my knee against it, will have to build something myself. Best, Markus
