4 engines to 2 throttles?

Heya

Recently got myself a new joystick as i for a year now have been borrowing my dads Logitech Wingman.
I got myself a nice Saitek Aviator with dual throttles, last one in stock too.
I really want to be able to properly use both throttle leavers and they do work very nicely with single and two-engine aircraft... unfortunatley there a problem there with three and four engined aircraft.
Since i got throttle 1 and throttle 2 assigned to well... throttle 1 and 2, i don't have full control over 3 and 4 engine aircraft.
So i was wondering if anyone might know a little workaround or something one could do perhaps? or am i screwed?
 
I've got one of those, but I can't even get the second throttle lever to work anything
 
I use FSUIPC to do my controller axis assignments. That's one option, and a fairly simple one at that. It requires the payware version, though.
 
I cheat. I assigned the left throttle on my CyborgX to the throttle (which then drives all throttles at once) and the right throttle to prop pitch - which conveniently then acts as the throttle on helicopters, when the throttle becomes the collective.

Going back to the original question, however, the answer is yes. I just assigned and calibrated my single left lever to control both Throttle 1 and Throttle 2 simultaneously using FSUIPC.
 
As Ian said, FSUIPC can do that easily. IMO, it's the single most indispensable FS add-on, bar none.
 
Hmmm.... FSUIPC license is way out of my budget this month.... i don't suppose there is any alternative way of doing what i want to do?
