New accessory for the throttle

Logitech throttle quadrant. This is more elegant than using my TMWH to augment control of the Harrier. From left to right; landing gear lever, nozzle angle control, nozzle stop.

 

There are also 9 DX input buttons which can also be mapped to simple tasks such as autopilot, altitude hold, landing lights etc.

 

I use Gorilla heavy duty mounting tape to secure it to the throttle, almost like superglue.

Thats cool....could you use that for the gear flaps and hook in DCS for the hornet? ( I imagine its works with 3 axis one for each lever, so would it be possible to get these to work as buttons input? )

You can pretty much use it for anything imaginable, axis can be converted into multiple-zone inputs. For example; 0-33% flaps down, 34-65% flaps middle, 66-100% flaps up (I use joystick gremlin for this). When I’m done with the Harrier I plan to do just that with the Hornet. It is plastic and doesn’t feel premium, but works well and doesn’t get in my way when I play.

I've been thinking of getting one of these for use as a helicopter collective!

 

I found that axis inputs can be a bit jittery in the mid zones, so not ideal if you need precise input. Haven’t tested with any helicopters, though a lot of people are using it in other flightsims.

I have one that I use for nozzles in the Harrier and flaps/gear/hook for the Tomcat.

 

I also use it for prop, mixture, and flaps on the WWII aircraft, and flaps and gear on other jets.
