I felt like a little more reality when flying on a PC, so I bought matching my Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals the Throttle Quadrant. This can be fastened well with the provided screw mount on the desktop after unpacking. The device makes a stable impression, although the levers are "only" made of plastic. The Installtation functions quickly and simply. A few Minnuten before first use necessary to assign in the flight simulator software the buttons and levers the desired functions and then you can start at last. Depending on with which aircraft you ride, the lever can be used differently. In the Airbus A321 can be, for example, the two engines individually control. The outer lever, the flaps can enter and leave. The keys can also be assigned individually. Around the Pakrbremse, the landing lights, etc. The throttle quadrant are different levers heads attached, so can they distinguish better (see product picture). Finally, the thrust reversing the engines can readjust realistic. For this, the power levers are moved via a noticeable pressure point downwards. A feature that we appreciate very quickly. Gone is the annoying search of the most important functions on the PC keyboard. They can just lie on the throttle quadrant. Even helicopters can fly hereby. For this you just have to assign only one of the levers as pitch lever. For propeller aircraft can be adjusted with the levers the mixture. The possibilities are numerous.
The only drawback: Due to the limited number of levers can be the engines of a four aircraft such as the Airbus A340, only centrally steueren. This can, however, live well in my opinion. Who wants it even more realistic. has access to one quadrant of CH-Products, which has more leverage, but also significantly more cost.
All in all, the Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant unreservedly recommend it to anyone who wants to get the flyer reality on the PC a little closer.
