Hi Yeti,
My old throttle died so I bought one of those. It does everything as advertised! I have found it particularly useful for the la5 - I assigned the blue lever to the outlet cowls, which are used a lot. The red I assigned to the oil radiator. Have had mine for a couple of years and no problems. I have mine connected to the floor unit in this video. If you have the room and a bit of time, I would recommend building a "centre-pull" cockpit. I'll post a picture of my setup later.

I have one, worked well in 46. Had controls for Mixture, Prop Pitch and Radiators set.
With W10 I found that it didn't like unplugging it with the PC on as I didn't have any spare usb ports. It might be a bit more stable now so I might give it another go.
Does make it easier not to have to look at the keyboard just after takeoff

At one stage I almost gave up on BOS because every time I plugged in I had to redo all the configs for the peripherals. Since the lastest BOS and Win10 patches this situation seems to have resolved itself. I reconnect everything each time I want to play so having the game remember which peripheral is which is pretty important given the number of activities that are assigned to them. And if you decide to go VR your peripheral assignments are even more important.

I had alot of issues with W10 and BoS to the point where i just gave up on the game. Now that it does seem to be alot more reliable i want to get a few more bits and pieces namely the throttle quadrant and the saitek Rhino flight stick (would be easier for me to have throttle separate on the left hand side) I hate looking at the keyboard eye sight not as good as it used to be lol and never enough usb ports lmao

I plugged the Quadrant back in and so far so good. I've set prop pitch to one, middle arm I've set to fuel mix and third arm is set to water radiator.
Now to find out if the buttons will be recognised separately as well.

The 2.004 Update due later this month or early next offers further improvement to the peripheral identification issue.
DD134 Joystick ID storing system is improved again, hopefully this would resolve the remaining issues with multiple control devices caused by Windows changing device IDs for those who encountered them.

PS Jason mentioned on the USA 18th that 2.004 maybe released tomorrow - so tonight our time. With a little luck we should have it by the weekend I would say.
