Question 1

Can you run a helicopter simulation with these controls?  If so, what is a good helicoptor simulator program?  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

HOTAS works pretty good for helicopter controls (I've only played ARMA though) but I'd recommend removing the "bumps" in the throttle. It's very easy to do, completely reversible, and helps a ton for helicopter flight! I'd also recommend removing a little of the silicon grease used to lubricated the throttle, as this will help loosen it up more. Cheers!https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=115981

Question 2

What are the individual footprint dimensions for each (L x W)?

Accepted Answer

both sticks have the same footprint which is about 6.75" X 6.75"

Question 3

How is this joystick secured to the desk? It seems like with that small base it would slide around a lot especially with the rudder controls.

Accepted Answer

Like Will answered, there are four suction cups on the bottom of both the stick and throttle that, on *some* desks, will work very well (smooth surfaces like glass are best, but an ikea or wooden desk might be hit or miss). With very aggressive joystick movements the base can come up off the desk. Myself personally have not had any issue with it sliding from the rudder/yaw though!Beyond that there are four rubber "feet" that grip fairly well for sliding, however that isn't the problem I had with them. My issue is that the base will "rock" up off the desk with hard throttle input because it's kind of sticky when it's brand new (at least mine was). I rectified this by taking it apart and removing some of the silicon grease used. This loosened it up more than the adjuster on the side allowed for and it's very comfortable now. I also removed the "bump" in it while I was at it, and now the whole thing works perfectly for me.I should add that there are two holes on each base that would allow for a screw or bolt to pass through. Would be rock solid that way if you want to mount them to something!

Question 4

Does the throttle work on twin engine aircraft such as the a320?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In flight sims if you assign the throttle axis to the throttle input in game, the throttle should operate all engines together like any other throttle. Ive tested it in Xplane. If you want to fly a twin engine plane and control the throttles separately (for aiding in steering on the ground and things like that), you need to use a key binding for the seperate throttle inputs or just drag it with the mouse pointer. You could always assign then to the seperate axises on the throttle but that might be awkard. I use those for prop advance, mixture ect.But for normal flying it works fine.
