I have three of the Saitek throttle quadrants. One of them has started getting jittery and throwing signal spikes. I guess the pots are finally going south after more than a thousand hours of use. My question is has anyone converted their Saitek throttle quadrant from pots to hall effect sensors? If so, I would really like to know what you used and perhaps get some pictures of the conversion. Regards, Danny

Hi, My CH Eclipse yoke has packed in. It is part of my CH hardware of Pro Throttle, Yoke, and Pro Pedals, plus Fighterstick. I also happen to have a set of Saitek pedals in the loft, which I used several years ago, before the CH setup. I'm wondering if a Saitek-Pro Flight Yoke System would be a sensible replacement for the CH? It would have to fit into my present method, of having yoke and throttle in use for fixed wing, and throttle and stick working together for choppers. I'd appreciate any advice from experienced users. Edit: Saitek Cessna Yoke? Thanks, Jim

Hello, Last week i payed a visit to the Aviation mega store near Schiphol Amsterdam. I wanted to buy a Buttkicker Gamer 2. The guy from the store who helped me was so friendly to open up the box to show me the banana plug problem. The pins of this plug are too close together so they do not fit into the red and black jacks at the back of the receiver. He told me he cutted of the banana plug, stripped the cables and connected the end of the cables into the jacks. While i could do the same i would loose my waranty. I have sent a mail to buttkicker gamer and received the answer that the plugs DO fit. AS i saw in the shop, they don't, even not with brutal force. Has someb…

Before I give up on these wondered if any one has any suggestions I have two on separate powered hubs and they keep freezing about 20 minutes into a flight . My multi panel , yoke , radio , rudder ,switch panel all are fine . I used the version 6 drivers , upgraded to 7 and still lock ups. Have tried 3 different hubs all high speed . Also run track ir and wondered if there could be a clash My pc is only 6 months old , ample power supply It's not major issue as I only use them for landing really but would be nice to solve if possible Cheers

Hi, I am looking for some more stuff to enhance the simming environment and wanted to invest into a decent throttle quadrant. I am finding some difficulty on which to get..saitek, CH, PFC, GoFlight, etc...as i fly a host of aircraft including piper cheyenne & king air, mooney and bonanza, airbus, 737NG, 747 and MD11....basically an all round simmer...i want to have some flexibility in being able to use the quadrant for these various types and having the abiity to set throttle prop mix or up to four throttles spoilers and flaps.... I am thinking of about €500 as budget...so what model from your experience? tks emann

I have the Saitek Proflight System, a second throttle quad and Proflight pedals. I would like to set these up with FSUIPC 4.90. I have FSX installed in Windows 7-64. I prefer flying PMDG 737ngx, Majestic Software Q400 and some Carenado twins. Is there a tutorial to help me or some info I can use to do this? thanks Paul

I have been unable to find the search button, please point it out for an evidently blind guy. Meanwhile, I have been given a Saitek Cessna Trim Wheel Controller, my other controllers are CH Products. I would really like to use this item but am having difficulties (read impossibilities) in getting it to recognize the correct input axis. I have deleted the trim controls (buttons and keyboard inputs) for my yoke but when I go through the process of getting the trim wheel recognized as the trim controller it ends up recognizing the X-axis (ailerons) only. Ideas?? Again, sorry for not being able to find the search box, I know it's there, I've used it before.

I'm having a bit of trouble recently with my Logitech Extreme 3d pro Joystick. I Have the flaps mapped to buttons 5 & 3, and the Elevator trim settings on 4 & 6, while the D-pad controls camera views. Recently, I have noticed that buttons 3 -> 6 seem to control rudder and/or views, and when pressed, as well as their mapped commands, rendering the Z-rotation useless. It is really annoying me, as it basically makes FSX unplayable. Any ideas?

After reinstalling FS9 du to a pc upgrade my yoke is not performing quite as it should. In the calibration screen (both in Windows and via FS9) full and free movement is quite evident. But, once in the sim I'm getting about 25%. The settings in the sim are, as far as I know the same as before so shouldn't affect it I would have thought. Is there something in the cfg file or something else I can play with?

As the topic suggests I have brought a MCP of a guy off the net that came with all the software to run it EXCEPT that its in Chinese lol The MCP is from "sino fsx" and after using google translate and various bits and pieces Ive actually got the thing to work exceptionally well with the Level D 767 and the default 737.. Here's where the "but" starts, When selecting the PMDG 737 all the values on the mcp are right and line up with that in the sim (fsx) As soon as the aircraft starts moving all the values on the MCP its self reset to zero and the speed indicator back to 100kts The toggle switches only preform an "on" function and everything pretty much turns to d…

Hello, I just wanted to fly from Berlin to Zurich only to find out that my Saiteks Throttle quadrant is spiking again :mad:. At least i know how to open up the units and how to clean the pots, resolving the issue for another month or so. Im fed up with the poor quality. So its time to move on to another product and i saw the GF-TQ6-ADV Advanced Throttle Quadrant from Go Flight. Has anybody experience with this unit? Im trying to find deeply covered reviews but i cant find anything on google. The main part i would like to know is the inside build of the unit. Does the unit have pots (eventually all pots wear out), or does it have magnetics? If it has pots, is it easy…

Hi, I have had this problem for some time now and tried troubleshooting it before, but never solved the problem. I am flying FSX with CH Yoke and Pedals, and have Windows 7 64 bit with SP1. Whenever I use sleep mode and wake-up the computer, both my Yoke and Pedals aren't recognized. I have to unplug them and reinsert the cables, and sometimes it takes many times before I get the correct connecting sound. Finally after several tries I get a successful connection. If I just restart the system there is no problem. Only with Sleep mode. I remember some setting in Windows that someone suggested me checking but it didn't make a difference. Apparently there were others wi…

I have had the saitek pro flight yoke, for little over a year and so far it was working great, until randomly while playing fsx it shut off it was unresponsive the screen was not illuminated and the throttle quadrant was not powered either. Assuming it was a weird driver issue I restarted my pc and it worked fine. A few days later it shut off again, same problem no power i restarted my pc and nothing happened I switched usb ports nothing happened, so I think it is a hardware issue I tried installing drivers but it wound't connect so the drivers wound't install, I think the issue is the usb connection because the is no power, am I right in thinking this? And if so should …
