I promised I’d post pics of my new pedestal when it was finished… so here it is! Inspired by the Airbus design (but much much less busy) which is odd because I don’t currently fly anything Airbus
Four-engine jet mode (2 x TCA throttle quadrants)
Twin jet mode (1 x TCA throttle quadrant)
Piston / turboprop mode (Virtual Fly TQ6 + a Leo Bodnar card for switches & buttons)
Put some labels on for a finishing touch
I’m using a Stream Deck Mini to let me add custom buttons for particular aircraft. Works well when powered by Spad.neXt.
Next step will be to take apart my Throttletek A380 flight box and extract the quadrant from that, and acquire a new two-lever A320-style quadrant, and replace the TCA throttles which is easily done by cutting a new middle panel for each. But those are expensive and it’ll be a while before I get there.
