I know on flightsim.com there is a tutorial on how to build a 4 engine throttle but it appears to only be for a jet throttle. Is there such a tutorial for a piston engine version containing throttle, prop levers and mixture levers?
Would also be interested in the 2 engine piston version as well.
Hi Pat,
I don't know to which tutorial you are referring; but if it is mine:
No, there isn't such a tutorial.
Yes, no problem to make it.
You just need to realise that, using gameport-USB convertors, you need a convertor per 4 axis.
How to do that physically, is up to you.
So:
- for a 1-piston-engine version, you need 3 control axis (i.e. one convertor, with a throttle/mixture/prop levers and one "spare").
- for a 2-piston-engine version, you need 6 control axis (i.e. two convertors, with 2 times throttle/mixture/prop levers and two "spares").
- for a 4-piston-engine version, you need 12 control axis (i.e. three convertors, with 4 times throttle/mixture/prop levers").
As described, you can assign any controller axis to any FS axis (with, or without, using FSUIPC).
