Summary: Another great CH flight controller
Comment: Some random observations:
1) CH product support (specific questions answered) is outstanding if you know exactly where to look for it. Google your way to the 'CH Hangar' forum. All questions will be answered completely (probably by the author of CH Control Manager himself, Bob [Sticky]Church). Response times vary from several minutes to several hours. Not days, not weeks. For proof, take a peek in the forum before purchase!
2) Microsoft's Flight Simulator doesn't recognize what type of controllers you are trying to use and might automatically assign alierons rudders etc. onto the quad! It would be necessary to reassign the axes and buttons withing MSFS's menus itself. But first calibrate the controller. Second look in MSFS sensitivity settings (the fifth throttle axis will have sensitivity = 0 which is nonsense), just pull the six axes' sensitivity sliders to full.
3) Using CH's control manager you could set sensitivities, dead zones, centering, response curve which a few easy mouse clicks. This is usually not necessary but it's there to help if needed.
4) Works perfectly with Win XP or Vista.
5) Control manager gives setups for reverse thrust using CMS script, or its otherwise covered in a faq at the ch hangar forum (the forum also has a 'for dummies' introduction to control manager programming).
6) There are ridges (is that the right word) on the bottom of the controller which prevent it lying flat on the desktop, clamping to the front edge of the desk is the designed method for securing.
However there is a workaround to mount anywhere on top of the desktop. Buy a small attractive 1/2 thick shelving board at Home Depot, Lowes, .etc. Place parallel velcro strips along the bottom of the quad, and on the board's top. (Orient them 90 degrees out of phase- if strips are side to side on the quad, then front to back on the board).
Then do the same on the board bottom and desktop and you have a secure mount with the disadvantage of being left with strips glued to your desktop!
6) A few users mount the thing vertical (with clamps or velcro) instead of horizontal - levers move up and down instead of forward backward. This orientation is more natural for using the big levers to control main flaps, cowl flaps, landing gear, dive brakes, elevator trim.
But heck the 6 vertical fipper buttons can do that when its mounted in the usual horizontal position. Leaving the levers for use as 4 throttles, fuel mixture, and blade angle pitch.

Summary: Doesn't work for Microsoft Flightsim & XP
Comment: works good on mac but just not working (erratic inputs) on Microsoft Flight Sim and XP ... and that's where I wanted this device to work. CH Service & drivers are unusable, wasted a lot of time.

Summary: Good product
Comment: This is a good product, well made, and easily mountable to a table. It is easily configurable in Windows XP, doesn't need additional software for most apps. It works with MS Flight Sim 2004, but all of the axes (the 6 levers) fail to read from 0-100%, reads from about 20% to 80%. The point - it can never get full/cut throttle, full rich/lean mix, or full/cut prop speed. However, it works fine (0-100%) with X-plane 8.6 (and later I guess). All knobs are removable, custom configurable, comes with 4 black, 2 red, and 2 blue knobs. Haven't tried it with MS FSX.

Summary: Multi Engine Love
Comment: Title says it all! Multi Engine Love!! This CH product allows me to fly My Favorite Airliner,the "MD-11", with precision. It also is great at making U FEEL like U are really flying. On a side note, this Quadrant works great with "Virtual Sailor". Makes U feel like U are really controlling a sub.

Summary: Great for the above average simmer
Comment: If you want to take flight simming to the next level this is a greaet add-on. Simulate single or dual prop situations, or swap out the knobs and go for a multi-engine jetliner.
Works great and is complementary to the other CH Products.
