Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Logitech Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant: Elevated Precision for an Authentic Piloting Experience by Ray Mcknight

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works fine EXCEPT the input data is returned shaky

Works fine EXCEPT the input data is returned shaky. It doesn't usually matter much, but if you have one of the sticks assigned for trimming in MS Flight Simulator and try to fly on autopilot, shaky input will cause the autopilot to malfunction. (The autopilot manipulates trim to adjust attitude, and jitter from the physical hardware overrides the autopilot, causing the aircraft to not fly on autopilot). In situations where jitter isn't a concern, it's fine (e.g. throttle). But in situations where it matters (autopilot + trim), it renders the joystick unusable. This can be circumvented with external smoothing software, but I don't need it and this pro joystick shouldn't stutter as much. And there's no way to control this with firmware (dead zones aren't meant for that sort of thing). A little let down by that one factor - everything else about the device is excellent.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Some small things
