Joystick with Dual Throttle needed for F5?

[JABO2009]

Folks, the title says it all;

 

as it's of course obvious , that the twin engine F5-E is best controlled with a dual throttle joystick or separate thrustpad: Is there a way to also operate it with a single thrust lever ?

 

My Joystick (Saitek Cyborg V1) is pretty simple , with just one thrust lever....

 

I understand that the engines have to be spooled up separately; ... so is there a setting possible to manage the engine spoole up with keyboard and then swith to master control ( both engines) with the thrust lever of my Joystick ??? :joystick:

yes, no worries.

 

I play it with a cougar. the dual throttle is a nice additionif you have it, but isnt necessary at all.

 

Yes, you switch from cut off to idle, with you keyboard. individually

FZG Immel said it all. No need for a dual throttle joystick.

I've got a CH Pro Throttle and I'm having issues getting the engines started. The auto-start sequence doesn't work either.

 

Will try the keyboard.
