January 10, 20188 yr Hello, I have a Pro Saitek Yoke with the associated throttle with a PS2 plug. The yoke is working fine but the throttle is wearing out (poor quality). Now what if I just get another USB saitek throttle (1 unit) and use it by itself. I already have one USB throttle. How will another throttle be recognized in Windows 7 devices??? and will this then be OK using FSUIPC5 for P3Dv4??? Did not find much info on this here so that is why I am asking.

January 11, 20188 yr Helmut, this is my opinion as I haven't tried specifically adding a second throttle, but I can't think of any reason why this shouldn't work. The only concern I would have is trying to power too many USB devices, depending on what all you have directly connected to your PC.

January 11, 20188 yr Yes, you can have multiple throttle quads in Win 7 and with FSUIPC. The latter assigns a number for each joystick so you can tell them apart. John Hubbard MSFS2020 - Win10

Thanks, I do have a USB hub which may or may not be the best but it works, I have picked up a second USB quad today and installed ok. But let me tell you With Logitech on the Box now, they seem to be worse now than before, loose levers. I am waiting for something better, it is a lot of frustration for me, with this junk.

Maybe that's why one unit has a PS2 connection and the second is USB. Ray (Cheshire, England).

I have 2 USB throttles (no yoke) and they are both being assigned same ID, thus only one works with FSUIPC. Chad Black Phoenix/ Flagstaff, AZ USA

Saitek design on purpose with two different type of connectors to get around the problem. Easiest solution is to buy a new yoke and one throttle quadrant. Or lookout for Honeycomb units arriving Q1.

That's why I'm biding my time for the Honeycomb units. Ray (Cheshire, England).
