Welcome Volare!

Hopefully you can find lots of information here for help building your 737 components. Remember that there are lots of 737 builders here and also that the Search Function is very helpful too!

All the best,

You have done a wonderful job on your throttle quad.

If you want the cheapest and easiest interface to use for your throttle I suggest.... Ripping apart an old USB Joystick, and connecting the potentiometers from your throttle to the joystick card.

Register FSUIPC (If you havent already) and you will be up in running in an afternoon.

Best regards,

Your throttle looks great! I agree with Trevor a cheap USB joystick is the way to go. And WELCOME to Mycockpit! There is a search in the forums a number of people have used the joystick method and you should be able to find a few ideas on how to go about it.

I see a very nice MCP panel behind the throttle in the thumbnail. Did you make it yourself, and if so, what technique did you use?

Tks for replay to everybody
No the MCP is from Opencockpit
i will assemble it when i decide the interface to use..so i thing that with only an USB interface isn't impossible to use also a MCP and Nav Radio

Pheraps i'm not able to do this..
