Multi-engine throttle

[aerocub1]

New Question: How do you set the throttles for a multi-engine aircraft?

[Groundbound1]

I, personally use a joystick, were one throttle movement controls all engines together. In aircraft with decent virtual cockpits, you can use your mouse to click and drag the thottles individually. I know there are default keyboard assignments for thottle control too, but I haven't used them in so long, I can't recall what they are.

If I remeber right by default it is f1-f4 keys for throttel control, but might be wrong I don't use the keys for throttle control my joystick does the throttle for me.

If you are prepared to spend the money, the CH Control Manager is excellent.      It's not the easiest thing in the world to set up but, once up and running, it lets you control any number of engines up to four.       Additionally, you can set up the switches to control a large number of parameters like wheels, flaps, pop-up windows, etc.        Now that I've got it running, I wouldn't be without it.

The default is for whatever key, switch, or pot assigned to engines to control all engines... but on the keyboard, you can select just one by pressing E followed quickly by a number. To go back to controlling all engines, you have to press E then the number for each engine.
