What our customer's say!

"Another great CH flight controller", Some random observations:

1) CH product support (specific questions answered) is outstanding if you know exactly where to look for it. Google your way to the 'CH Hangar' forum. All questions will be answered completely (probably by the author of CH Control Manager himself, Bob [Sticky]Church). Response times vary from several minutes to several hours. Not days, not weeks. For proof, take a peek in the forum before purchase!


2) Microsoft's Flight Simulator doesn't recognize what type of controllers you are trying to use and might automatically assign alierons rudders etc. onto the quad! It would be necessary to reassign the axes and buttons withing MSFS's menus itself. But first calibrate the controller. Second look in MSFS sensitivity settings (the fifth throttle axis will have sensitivity = 0 which is nonsense), just pull the six axes' sensitivity sliders to full.

3) Using CH's control manager you could set sensitivities, dead zones, centering, response curve which a few easy mouse clicks. This is usually not necessary but it's there to help if needed.

4) Works perfectly with Win XP or Vista.

5) Control manager gives setups for reverse thrust using CMS script, or its otherwise covered in a faq at the ch hangar forum (the forum also has a 'for dummies' introduction to control manager programming).

6) There are ridges (is that the right word) on the bottom of the controller which prevent it lying flat on the desktop, clamping to the front edge of the desk is the designed method for securing.

However there is a workaround to mount anywhere on top of the desktop. Buy a small attractive 1/2 thick shelving board at Home Depot, Lowes, .etc. Place parallel velcro strips along the bottom of the quad, and on the board's top. (Orient them 90 degrees out of phase- if strips are side to side on the quad, then front to back on the board).

Then do the same on the board bottom and desktop and you have a secure mount with the disadvantage of being left with strips glued to your desktop!

6) A few users mount the thing vertical (with clamps or velcro) instead of horizontal - levers move up and down instead of forward backward. This orientation is more natural for using the big levers to control main flaps, cowl flaps, landing gear, dive brakes, elevator trim.

But heck the 6 vertical fipper buttons can do that when its mounted in the usual horizontal position. Leaving the levers for use as 4 throttles, fuel mixture, and blade angle pitch.

"Doesn't work for Microsoft Flightsim & XP", works good on mac but just not working (erratic inputs) on Microsoft Flight Sim and XP ... and that's where I wanted this device to work. CH Service & drivers are unusable, wasted a lot of time.

"Good product", This is a good product, well made, and easily mountable to a table. It is easily configurable in Windows XP, doesn't need additional software for most apps. It works with MS Flight Sim 2004, but all of the axes (the 6 levers) fail to read from 0-100%, reads from about 20% to 80%. The point - it can never get full/cut throttle, full rich/lean mix, or full/cut prop speed. However, it works fine (0-100%) with X-plane 8.6 (and later I guess). All knobs are removable, custom configurable, comes with 4 black, 2 red, and 2 blue knobs. Haven't tried it with MS FSX.

"Multi Engine Love", Title says it all! Multi Engine Love!! This CH product allows me to fly My Favorite Airliner,the "MD-11", with precision. It also is great at making U FEEL like U are really flying. On a side note, this Quadrant works great with "Virtual Sailor". Makes U feel like U are really controlling a sub.

"Great for the above average simmer", If you want to take flight simming to the next level this is a greaet add-on. Simulate single or dual prop situations, or swap out the knobs and go for a multi-engine jetliner.

Works great and is complementary to the other CH Products.

"Works Just Fine", This throttle works just fine. You can program the levers and buttons to do different aircraft functions as you desire. The USB setup is automatic. You'll have to do a manual setup in the Flight Sim Program to reprogram the buttons to do different functions which was not too difficult. The way it has to be mounted could be more versatile, like having the suction-cups on the bottom. The table edge clamps do not fit well with all table and desks.

"This throttle works great!", We originally ordered the "I-Pro" Throttle from Amazon for my son's Christmas gift. He's a big flight sim nut, and he was happy with the throttle, but he really wanted this one instead. It had more capabilities and had a more realistic feel. When we made the exchange, he said this was exactly right for him and he's been happily flying ever since! I would definitely recommend this product!

"configuration troubles", Not such a good adquisition, i own the ch pro pedals and the ch flight yoke and both are great, the thing is that since i bought the quadrant my flight sim has gone mad, it never saves the settings for trims, buttons or axes, no response has been received from the ch tech support department and the ch configuration manager software only got my troubles worst.

"Functional Interface", This item lives up to the description indicated. It's very easy to use and adequately simulates real aircraft control.

"CH Products Throttle Quadrant a winner", This is the third CH Products item I have acquired to use with Laminar Research's X-Plane and it has proven to be as easy to set up and use, and has as many hours of satisfaction as their FlightSim Yoke and Rudder Pedals. The throttles move easily and smoothly, have a single detent at one-sixth the way from the rear position to the forward position. Two sets of caps are provided that allow me to switch between twin-prop and twin-jet configuration (as well as the necessary software settings in X-Plane). The box mounts firmly even to a rather precarious table edge. If I would change anything, it would be to add a couple more detents in each arc, but other than that, I have the found the product meets all expectations for use and quality.

Although I have not had any problems with the throttle quadrant, when I had an issue with their other products, CH Products customer support responded quickly and with very fair consideration.
