Connecting PFC yoke and throttel quad to Win 11

Featured Replies

I am buying a used Precision Flight Controls throttle serial quad that does not have a power brick.  Does anyone have a PFC 12v DC power brick they can give me the specs off of?

Hi,

I have a PFC serial throttle quadrant.  The output shown on the power brick label is 5.0 amps (60 watts) max.

Current Build (02/2024): AMD 7800X3D | Asrock X670E Steel Legend MB | Noctua NH-U12S Chromax | 32gb GSkill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CAS 30 | Samsung 990 Pro 2tb NVMe Gen4 (OS) | WD Black 4tb NVMe Gen4 (MSFS) | Corsair RM1000x Shift Series PS | ASUS RTX 4090 Strix ROG | LG 55" C2 Display

My PFC serial throttle quad's pwr supply placard says 12vdc at 3.3A.  No way it's drawing anywhere near that much power, though.

I'm guessing that it's unregulated, so it has a fairly high current rating to control the voltage droop.  I think a regulated 12v supply at 1A would probably also work.

Thank you both for your answers.  I saw in a forum elsewhere the linear pots are something like 20K not 100k and that is supposed to provide better stability  but also requires higher power draw.  I ordered something from Amazon tonight.  I will get back to you and let you know how it goes.

Just out of curiosity, do you both have the stand-alone serial throttle, or is it integrated into a console?  (The throttle quad I ordered is stand alone.)

My quadrant is the stand alone type.
