May 14, 20224 yr My desk is fairly full already, so I've been looking for a simple way to add a steering tiller. I don't have a true to scale home cockpit, so have just been looking for a simple knob to use. I've found a number of volume controllers for PC, some of which look appealing in foot print such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/LITROK-Controller-Computer-Multimedia-Adjuster/dp/B07GR78PCK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=usb%2Bvolume%2Bcontrol&qid=1652547013&sprefix=usb%2Bvolume%2Bcont%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-4&th=1 The problem is that these are going to come preset with firmware to manage Windows volume, where as we need it to show up as an HID to assign it in MSFS. Does anyone know of anything similar to this that would work? Or any other solutions? Eric Szczesniak

The bigger the axis range the more precise the control will be.

Does anyone know of anything similar to this that would work? Or any other solutions? I use a Cessna Trim Wheel and it's fantastic for ground wheel steering or rudder control. It is ultra high resolution, has no center detent so I use a piece of red tape as a reference indicator. Doubtful you can get one used for a reasonable price but there are other options that should work the same: Trimwheel Pro (sportys.com) Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.
