Flight Sim Yoke with TS?

[jonmorrie]

I'm a flight simmer at heart, so naturally, I have the CH Flight Sim Yoke. Would it be possible to use the attached throttle/prop/mixture controls to control throttle/reverser/brake in TS2013? Just curious if anybody knows...

Yes! You've came to the right place.

[jonmorrie]

Wow, thanks for the quick response. I'll get on that

I use my yoke to drive trucks in Euro Truck sim 2. Works good, looks funny but it works.

Yes, Its called Railworks Joystick API. Its in the description on this video. Click on and should take you there. I think this tutorial should be on the RailAmerica site. What do you think Bob? I think it helps alot of people. Besides I got 10 likes and no dislike . But its up to you buddy.

I think that we should also reference the 2 payware addons which take a different approach to that of the API ;
XPadder: http://www.xpadder.com/
and
Pinnacle game Profiler: http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/
and TS2012 profile: http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/pc-cont ... lator-2012
These both use the windows interface approach similar to that used by the XBox 360 and may be be easier to configure and install.
There may be demo versions available.

Yea but those can't be used for throttle. It only works with 1 controller, good for gampad and joystick. API can use multiple controllers, gamepad, joystick or throttle like 2 or more. I have 2 now and they work great!

[Chacal]

Done. This one was definitely on my list, but I'm way behind because of real-life issues.
Also I added some text from gege21 about using 2 Saitek throttle quadrants.

Awesome! Thank you Chacal
