Hey there,

I am very new to the hardware stuff and need some orientation. I am using my saitek x52 for flying (P3D) and thats fine for me. Now I am looking for a way to set ALT, HDG & Speed in my Aerosoft A320 with keys/knobs.

1. is there cheap hardware like a panel with 3 rotary knobs that can handle this via usb?
2. Can it be assigned to any button on my Saitek in a way that holding the button longer would speed up the amount of change?
3. I have a scroll wheel on my keyboard on the left side. Would it be possible with any software to assign like [A]+scroll = ALT change, +scroll=Sped change, [D]+scroll=Heading change? (guess the keys would have to fake the mouse hover effect in the VC so the scroll can be used...)

Thanks for any Idea!

Gabriel

Well thanks - I know there is hardware for $$$ - thats not what I am looking for...

this one is not too expensive. Not dirt cheap mind, but it does a lot.

or if you can solder, you can DIY it for not much money..

Although it doesn't have physical switches, a much cheaper option, if you have an iPad, is to use the Remote Flight Radio HD app - https://remoteflight.net/remote-flight-radio-hd. It's not just a radio stack but also includes an autopilot and basic transponder. Very easy to use and highly recommended.

thanks so far...I would prefere solutions for setting it with the hardware I already have.
