Orion 2 Throttle ROTARY

Recommended Posts

Hey Win Wings!

I'm currently using an X56 which was a poor-man's replacement for a defunct Warthog.

For helicopter's anti-torque - - I HAD used the rotary on an old cougar years ago, and now the X56 thumb rotary.  Works a TOTAL treat.  I don't want to fork out for rudder pedals and I don't really have the room.  I love the fact that the rotary stays where it is (so it keep the rudder position without a spring) and frankly my muscle memory is so engrained I can't imagine using feet!!!

 

I'm looking at the Orion 2 combo here: https://wwsimstore.com/p/343.html 

But I REALLY would miss the rotary if this doesn't have one.  I see a middle wheel on the throttle.  Looks like it spins up and down.  Is this a rotary?

Thanks for any feedback, MrR / BeeRay.

I'm assuming you're looking at the F-18 throttle and I don't know but I doubt they've changed it since the Orion 1, so NO, it's not a rotary.  It works the way the one in the real Hornet does and spring loaded to recentre.  It does not rotate fully around or stay were you set it.

Having said that, the F-16 throttle grip does have a thumb rotary designed for radar elevation that might do what you want.

That wheel is spring loaded and only moves around 70deg up and down

What about the Orion2 Collective? Metal roller? I don't have one yet, awaiting order, but would that work?
