CH throttle quadrant compatibility

[dlh 5]

I just ordered one. I'm wondering now if it will be compatible with MS Precision Pro joystick in Flight Simulator 2020.  Wording on the CH site says it's only compatible with other CH products.  But I've watched several Youtube videos that show people using it with other non-CH devices.  I don't mind doing the binding myself.

Thanks

You need not worry. The Quadrant will be recognised by Windows as a USB gaming device, you won't even need to install drivers. It will show up in Microsoft Flight Simulator but you'll have to do the bindings yourselves, as you expected.

Can't get mine working in FS2020 with or without the Control Manager. Without the Control Manager, Win10 can't see the 12 switches in the axes. And with the Control Manager calibrating the Quad, FS2020 can't see any of the switches - they show up when binding, but do not register when activated.

If there are any tricks anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it.

It's certainly not MSFS. The switches on my CH quadrant are working fine, both in Windows and MSFS. Have you managed to assign switches on other devices?
If the switches aren't recognised in Windows without the Control Manager it might be a hardware failure. If you have another PC you can connect the quadrant to, preferably one that never had any CH device connected earlier, you could check whether Windows will recognise it properly.

I have never had trouble with CH controls. Used on 98, XP, (out of it 15 years) and now 10. Always works. Sounds like either your controller is junk or your USB bus is junk.

I've been using my Throttle Quadrant with FS 2020 with Control Manager installed and I can use reverse thrust.

is the ch throttle quadrant compatible with FS2020

Is there any instructions on how to install into FS2020

It's been a while since I have been using it in MSFS (have upgraded since) but it is certainly working with MSFS although you probably need to go into the controller settings to assign all the levers and buttons to something.
In some cases, you might also need to tick the "reverse" box to get them to do what you want. It's not that difficult to do.

Even if the levers are assigned automagically, you might need to assign the buttons manually to do something usefull.

It works for me. I plug it into a USB port on my Logitech Flight Yoke and it is recognized in game, no problem. I don't program anything on it through the CH Products software. It provides me with 12 extra buttons and six more axis. There are also 6 more buttons (which I don't use) if you pull each of the axis to full back. These are made for the thrust reversers.
