The unique design of the throttle control in this amazing plane will make the chances one being commercially designed for flight simmers unlikely. I suspect that it is a patented design in the real aircraft, so whether other plane manufactures go down this road remains to be seen. Therefore for flight simmers, a controller like this will have limited sales potential and make it an expensive niche market. However, an actual controller would immensely increase the immersive nature of flying this plane. Mechanically, one would be relatively easy to make, however, the USB connection would defeat me and maybe a second proportional control needed would not be available from the developers or XP. In the last hour I've made a simple design on my PC. Any thoughts about this? Unfortunately I can't seem to insert a jpg on this forum?

USB would be the easy part 🙂 Arduino setup as a HID Driver and Controller....or use a Leo Bodnar Board
