I'm still flying my B-17 and 377 with my trusty 15 year old Saitek stick and I've convinced myself to take the plunge and pick up a yoke, throttles and rudder pedals. I plan to buy the Saitek Pro Flight system and wanted to buy two throttle quadrants. The B-17 configurator will allow me to assign two engines to one throttle, correct? I'm hoping to assign engines one and two to one throttle, three and four to another for easier ground and takeoff handling.

Re: Joystick configurator/multiple throttle question
Hi.
You will be waiting a long time for saitek gear ,they are not in a good shape at this time, and thier equipment is in short supply, i have CH Yoke/Rudder Peddles and two QUAD throttles , and can control each engine individually for throttles/prop/mixtures , but it was not as straight forward as i thought it would be , which was done through FSUIPC licenced version,the problem was the way A2A have programed the B17,that proved awkward on the setup .
Regards alan.

Re: Joystick configurator/multiple throttle question
I picked up a yoke/throttle set new on eBay and it should be here by the weekend. Unless you want a used throttle there really aren't any out there unless you pay scalping prices so I'll wait for a second throttle until they come back in stock.
