January 12, 20197 yr To keep this post short. Is there anyway to make the Saitek throttle quadrant work without the saitek flight yoke? I have the old style throttle with the old connector and will be moving to the Yoko yoke in a couple of weeks, since Virtual Flys throttle is also very expensive, I would like to use the Saitek throttle with Yoko until I can scrape up enough funds to get the VF throttle.

You can leave the Saitek yoke plugged in but out of sight, then use the throttle quad as normal. This won't interfere with your Yoko yoke. More radically, extract the controller board from the Saitek yoke and throw the rest away. There is no way to use the quadrant on its own because unlike the USB quad it has no controller board inside.

January 12, 20197 yr Wouldn't a PS2 to USB adapter work? https://www.amazon.com/PS-2-to-USB-Adapter/dp/B001E6DTL6

January 12, 20197 yr I found a NIB USB model Saitek Quadrant last year to keep as a backup. But not at all ready to part with it yet. The Honeycomb products are a year behind schedule and f-a--d---i-----n------g........

January 18, 20197 yr Another way is to use the Leo Bodnar 12 bit joystick controller. http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=204 Fits inside your existing housing (just) Involves a bit of soldering, however. Al
