CH Products Throttle Quadrant Mapping Recommendations?

I have a CH Products Throttle Quadrant (with 6 throttle levers and 6 switches). Unlike my Saitek pedals and my honeycomb yoke, there were no predefined settings for this.

Any recommendations for a generalized setup? Two of them for throttle is an easy choice. Might have to map 4 if I want to fly a 4-engine jet, but 2 is good for most. I'm guessing one for mixture and one for flaps. That leaves two axis unused, along with 6 switches.

Thoughts or recommendations?

Two left ones for throttle, two middle ones for prop pitch, two right ones for mixture for single/twin engine prop.

Thanks. It doesn't appear that there is an axis for prop pitch, though.

There is. It's under power management

Is anyone using the CH throttle quadrant? How well does it work with MSFS 2020?

The quality and durability of CH stuff is as good as it gets...their main business is making controllers for industrial (think earth movers and such) applications, so they know how to make unbreakable.

Your video? Is the throttle control smooth and accurate in MSFS 2020 with this?

I have the Honeycomb Alpha yoke, but I've heard the Honeycomb Brave throttle will be back ordered until at least early 2021, so I'm going for something else.

No not my video. CH delivers quality but not miracles, explore some more on YouTube, and see what you think. CH now or Honeycomb in a month, pick your poison. CH or Honeycomb in 4 months, I'd go CH.

I don't have one of their quads, but I do have their Pro Throttle and would not ask for more in terms of smooth, durable.

Well I just bought it. New in box for $110. Seems like a good deal given how hard it is to come by flight sim gear these days.

I think that you will be glad that you did
