I'm going to be purchasing the B-17 and Accusim package but had a question regarding my set up. I only have one flight stick with one throttle slider.

Is it possible for me to configure everything so that each engine/throttle can be controlled BOTH seperately and individually? Meaning I can push the one throttle slider that I have but it will work for all four engines?

Any help/comments are appreciated. Thanks.

There is a pop up window <shift>6 I think it is, that will enable you to "select" 1,2,3, or 4 engines at a time. It's totally unique and brilliant. What that means is that you can select all 4 engines, I think this is default anyway, and set power to a given level, then select say engine 1 and increase the power of that engine alone to aid turning right in taxiing. This is just an example though.

So yeah, you can use this bird with a single throttle. I use an X52 Pro, and that only has a single throttle. A2A think of everything :wink:

Oh p.s. this works for the mixture too by the way :)

Hello,Sammie1
Another suggestion is too look down on the B-17 forum board towards the bottom I believe and you will see a very good tutorial and suggestions on taxing this wonderful beast. It was made by Tigerclaw on here very good suggestions as navigation,use of the C-1 Autopilot.

Regards,
Mark S.
