Any chance we will be able to use a throttle quadrant to control two seperate engine's throttles any time soon?....does anyone 'in the know' think this is possible....if i was to go looking for a way to change this...where do you think i should look....any help on this perplexing on going deficiancy in IL2?

I second that but I doubt it is posible (hoping that I am wrong )

Meanwile... how about a new button for selecting the fifth engine? ...and the sixth.

this is the place to get your multi-throttle set-up working

I'm waiting for them to implement the Saitek Aviator

thanks for the fabianfred...but i was already aware....im more interested in wether it IS possible in game...where i would look to find the bytes that pertain to throttle movement and axis selection.....besides...im not that keen on sending money over the net to some fella on the other side of the world, whom i dont know from adam....If it was a big corporation..i would be less nervous about it...but besides...it is just a work around...

So if anyone can give me the nod as to how to go about looking for the said bytes (if they even exist)...is it a matter of using a hex editor on particular files, which files, what would you suggest i look for.....just any help anyone can give would be appreciated....cheers

now available for AV8R users.......throttle program free download...but license to use Java is $25

I got mine today and have been trying it out with my aviator stick
the lock button which locks the two controls together is useful for when flying a single engined plane

the seperate throttles are a boon when flying the big twin engined planes...especially like the B-25...where they like to pull left on take-off...and full rudder doesn't always help...but this way keep the right engine at 60% and its fine
great for easy taxiing too

On my simpit panel ( www.kfreeman.com ) I have 2 MFD: one is dedicated to IL2 and the other to FS2004. The MFD (left) for IL2 has Eng#1, Eng#2 and Both Eng buttons. It could be expanded but I found no need.

Looking at the panel: the leftmost switch panel is: flaps, spoiler and wing fold. The rightmost switch panel is: gear, tailwheel lock and tailhook.

The left MFD is for IL2 only and the right MFD is FS2004 only.

The center switch panel is for functions common to both sims.

The switch and dial knob on the left is audio control. The switch on the lower right is oanel lighting.

All of my view controls are on the throttle.

Trim and combat controls are on the stick.

My rudder pedals have brakes (differential braking in FS2004).

The monitor is 27" plasma.

Regards,
Ken

Thanks for the replies??!!??....but can someone actually answer my question about where to look in the IL2 file structure to see if it is possible to do this..

WITHOUT...annoying and tedious work arounds

WITHOUT...having to spend 25 bucks on some file or whateva

I would just like to see if it is possible to do...WITHIN...the IL2 files

any (pertinant) help appreciated
