The Saitek I got somewhere on an internet shop some years ago..
The steering wheel I had laying around, had to get an adapter for it because it has an "old style" connector.. :)

I have the X52 pro I use for flight sims. I dont have a wheel though. How have you setup the X52, I can't get my head round how you whould do dual throttles.

Thanks :thumbs: ???

The X52 has only a single throttle.. So I use it to control Engines 1 & 2..
For seperate controls of the engines I use the keyboard..
Saitek does have a dual throttle controller (X65F), and a cheaper throttle quadrant.. :)

It looks okay, but I don't like the price tag too much! :)

v.h94, I hope you get the chance to try one.  I think you would like the throttle levers.  Especially with the sub woofer vibrations coming through them, they have a good solid feel. 
I'm biased. 
It's my product. 
I'll shut up now.

Well atleast we know the product is good! I too would love to have the ship control unit, but the price is my problem too. It would be awesome if a less complicated one came out for about half the price, kind of like a demo to a game  ;D or, as SSE is to Nautis. That sort of thing  :thumbs:

Hi Chris,

If you have time on your hands maybe you should consider fabricating one on your own !:)

That would be "interesting". ;D 
It would probably work.  It's a game controller.  How many autos have dual engines?  :lol:
