Nice to see that you can move the knobs around for multi-engine setups.....very nice indeed. Now we can get a setup for flying the B-52

 

Sweet!

With the switches, it is effectively direct competition with the CH throttle quadrant.

NewEgg's price for the CH product is about $135... so half the product for less than half the price at $60 is fair.

Also compared to a HOTAS setup like the X-52 for $130 which has two sticks... again half the product for half the price.

 

The only game I frequently play where I could use such a setup to full effect would be Aces High II, which allows you to control rpm and manifold pressure for each engine on multi-engine aircraft like the P-38 and B-17.

 

If only the SFP1 series had more detailed engine modeling to make a dual throttle useful when flying F-4s.

Of course 99.9% of the time, the throttles stay together anyway, so the traditional single axis HOTAS throttle is really adequate for air combat purposes.
