I liked the CH Throttle Quadrant enough to buy another.

• By Roger from Marion IA USA on Wednesday, March 30, 2016
• Pros: Consistent digital values at each end of the range on the lever controls. This means you should not have to worry about inconsistent results when you use these in the flight simulators. The construction seems to have good quality. I don't expect I will have to worry about wearing the throttle quadrants out. Nice quantity of switches and of levers. The resolution of the lever controls is good. So, I don't have to worry about the minimum change that I can make in the settings being too high for good control of the aircraft.
• Review: The worst thing about this product is the lack of information related to how it has been set up for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (i.e FSX for me) by other users. That information can be found with some effort to sort the available online information. The initial calibration and setup with the CH Control Manager is fine but does not give any ideas on how others are using the available buttons. Also, I found that I required the FSUIPC product by Peter Dowson to do a number of the things that I wanted to do (e.g. set up the throttles, mixtures, and prop pitches for appropriate engagement of feather, reverse thrust, low and high idle to name a few). That is not a fault of this product. Once I got to the right information and made the determination that I needed FSUIPC, I did not have much trouble setting up two of these quadrants to be used together with the CH Pro Pedals and the CH Eclipse Yoke. With this setup, I have the necessary control levers to cover the throttles, mixtures, and props for any aircraft having four or less engines with independent control levers for each function on each engine.
  
  I also use the latest version of X-plane and there are no problems using all these CH Products devices with it. I previously used a well-liked flight joystick with rudder controlled by twisting the joystick handle. This CH setup with FSUIPC for the Microsoft Flight Sim allows me to have much better control and put even the "Super Heavy" jumbo jets down with room to spare in conditions that I would have had trouble keeping the aircraft on the runway with my previous control setup. With X-plane, it is like the sim and these controls were designed for each other.
  
  I have my setup with FSX and FSUIPC on these controllers mirroring the same setup I have with them in X-plane. So, I can use the same levers or same buttons for the same thing in either X-plane or FSX. So, I have no problems switching between the simulators.
  
  These throttle quadrants are very consistent. That is, I always get the same reading (i.e. digital values) at each end of the travel of the throttle levers.
  
  The bottom line is that I am very happy with these throttle quadrants (and the other CH Products devices I have).

• Pros: See above, easy setup, good feel. It would hard to figure out how these could be much better for a general use in flight simming.
• Review: I actually bought two of these to get all the axes that would be needed for a 4-engine prop aircraft. The only real negative is the lack of instructions for setup of the most likely uses of these throttle quadrants (i.e. MS flight simulator and X-plane). Those were found without any major difficulty by searching online. With MS Flight Simulator, make sure you get FSUIPC to enjoy the full capabilities with the most realism. I have had these for a few weeks now and once I got them set up appropriately I found it hard to leave the flight simulators alone. I will probably build a portable mounting platform for these and the CH Eclipse and CH Pro Pedals that I have. That would allow me to move them out of the way when I want to use the computer for other things. Getting back to the review, these have a good feel with respect to the real aircraft levers that they emulate. I like the CH Control Manager, which makes the initial setup pretty easy.

Realistic operation.

• By Garry from Port Clinton OH USA on Saturday, September 29, 2012
• Pros: Smooth operation.
• Review: I use it on twin engine aircraft. The axis funtions work well for throttle, propeller, and mixture. I havent gotten much use out of the switches yet. I have not installed the configuration programming software as yet. The operation of the levers are smooth and responsive. I haven yet tried it for four engine aircraft. The throttles work nicely to control glidepath during landings. The detents seem to be useless in MS Flight Simulator X
