Dear PC Pilot
This is a plea for help, for which I have searched in vain far and wide across the ‘land of Google’.
There are many examples of ready-to-buy, plug ‘n’ play throttles for the 737 in all its flavours, together with Airbus ‘Noise Levers’, but there is a complete lack of anything for more senior in years. Anything for singleengine warbirds? Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zip. With the fantastic range of piston-engined World War Two-era models on the market, such as the P-40 from A2A, RealAir’s Spitfire and AF Scrubs’ Seafire and Spitfire examples as freeware, often featured in PC Pilot, you’d expect there to be something out there, but no (except for the excellent sims pit stuff, well out of my range).
I get that it’s a niche market that probably won’t appeal to big manufacturers, but there isn’t anything to even help with the basics of building a throttle/mixture/pitch control. What I’m after is a simple, no frills instruction to help with what I need to connect rotary potentiometers to FSX: Steam Edition. The actual form of the handles isn’t important, as that can vary from aircraft to aircraft, and once connected to the spindles, they should operate like any throttle, but what do I need in be…
