I hope they give us an option to bind 2 engines per throttle axis

[Cowboy10uk]

As this is the first Quad engine DCS module, a thought has occurred to me that a large number of simmers in DCS will only have the standard duel engine throttle.     Orion, Warthog, Thrustmaster etc.

 

Granted there may be some who also fly civilian simultors who will have more throttle axis like the Honeycomb Bravo so they will be fine, BUT I hope the devs haven’t forgotten that this may present a issue and provide axis binding options that will allow 2 engines to be controlled by a single throttle axis.    
 

While I am aware this isn’t at all realistic, it would be a simple solution when bringing a Quad engined aircraft into a what has been effectively a Duel engine simulator.

 

luckily I do have the Honeycomb, BUT I know at least 2 others in my Sqn only have Duel throttles and I’m sure they aren’t the only ones here in that situation.

The mod had it so I assume the module will

I have a Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo along with my HOTAS so I'm set!

I agree, it's a good idea. In the options, there should be options to bind the throttle to all left engines, all right engines, each engine separately, and all engine together (the same propellers and mixture if they exist here). That would make sense.
I use the Warthog throttle, where the throttles are split into two, and I use FSUPIC in MSFS, where I can bind a single throttle to all left and right engines together (in multi-engine aircraft), which makes engine management much easier. I hope the developers follow this approach.

+1.

I did think that “throttle” was usually an axis option in multi-engine aircraft?  By that, I mean a single axis, against “throttle left” and “throttle right”.

I think it was mentioned in the initial announcement that it'll be an option.
