Using PFC hardware with DCS

[SeaQuark]

Hey guys, has anyone successfully been able to use PFC (Precision Flight Controls) hardware with DCS? They're pricey but look very nicely made. In particular I'm considering getting this unit:

The manufacturers state that it's USB, but will only work with X-Plane. Has anyone tried using this or something similar, and will DCS recognize the axes and buttons? Maybe there's an unofficial workaround?

Because they have drivers for X-Plane and custom programmable for X-Plane only

 

Take a look on this Forum user. Maybe this product is closer to DCS user and you get 3 times more switches for less money: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=144649

Wow, thanks for the tip. That's perfect. Sent him a PM!

The PFC stuff also works as a conventional joystick, so no problem with connecting it with any other simulator.

 

That being said, I also have a nice throttle kit made by SDPG_GVL224 and I can recommend it :)

Bumping this to report in. I purchased a PFC C2 for use with Prepar3D -- it works mostly OK (with the FSUIPC PFC driver), though some things could be better. Unfortunately I haven't found any way to get the throttles to work in DCS. DCS recognizes it as a USB HID device with 8 axes and a bunch of buttons, but other than the two-way rocker on the yoke, absolutely nothing has any effect in DCS or any other game not specifically developed to work with PFC hardware. :(

 

Would love a way to bind my throttle quadrant axes in some aircraft...
