I finally dug deep and ordered a Fulcrum One yoke, but now I need to buy a throttle quadrant to go with it. Unfortunately, I doubt the missus will allow me to splurge a similar amount of cash on the throttle quadrant. Mostly I fly single engine turboprops (Kodiak) and pistons (Bonanza). What do you guys suggest I go for?
Maybe check out simmax.it products? They can also customize the stuff how you need it
How many detents does the real Kodiak throttle have anyway? But if you fly single truboprops a lot I’d say you ideally want a quadrant that doesn’t just have a detent and a reverser button but has real axis reverse range. E.g. the Virtual Fly quadrants.
You could also consider the Logitech quadrant as cheap throwaway to last you a year or two while you wait for some of the upcoming options. Some interesting upcoming ones are Fulcrum’s own upcoming 6 lever quadrant and VKB’s TECS with it’s programmable detents (meaning you could match the detents to the turboprop you are flying on the fly).
The Fulcrum quadrant is available for pre-order now.
Would also recommend the Logitech. It’s cheap and has basically no friction, but it works. I got two of them so I can configure them for either single or twin engines
