Alrighty,
I am shopping around for a yoke, set of pedals, and a throttle quadrant. I am going to start focusing my flying to the MD88/MD90/DC9 aircraft and some of the DLConnection planes (CRJ, Brasilia, Saab, etc) occasionally. I was wondering (if any of ya'll who fly the same way I do) if there were any suggested products.
Thanks!

Thanks! I have one question about the throttle system: I see that it is set up for a single engine piston aircraft. Let's say I am going to fly the 727, could I set the conditioner control and mixture control to engine 2 & 3, while the throttle control is engine one?
Very easy to do if you own a copy of FSUIPC .... the only thing I don't like about the throttle is that the connector that plugs into the yoke is not USB, it is a small din connector. When plugging it in you'll want to be gentle so as not to bend any pins. It isn't too big of deal though. Also, there are a few usb ports on the throttle itself. I read somewhere that if you want to use them you will need to buy a separate power supply for the yoke otherwise *poof*....dead yoke. If you plan on only using the yoke and throttle that it came with your golden. Plug and play, no need for the Saitek software either.
