ICR throttle

I was under the impression that you could only use a joystick button or keypress to control the throttle in ICR (digital) and could not use an analog throttle. In fact, it's one of the biggest problems I have with ICR since it makes it so difficult to draft. But lately I've read some posts that make me think that I may have gotten this wrong. I would love to be able to use the throttle on my CH Flight Yoke with ICR. So can someone please enlighten me as to whether analog throttle is supported in ICR and how to configure for it?

ICR *does* support analog throttle, because the peddles on the Thrustmaster T1 are nothing more than the x-axis of the second joystick, so it should support the throttle on your flight Yoke. To configure your setup, just go to the options menu, select controls, and then select the appropriate control device, ie throttle, it should then say "Press throttle" or something like that, and you just need to move up the throttle switch on the yoke. This should set it to control throttle and then you will have to re-calibrate Hope this helps. If you have any questions, you can also call the Papyrus BBS or the Tech line, whose numbers are found in the manual. They are *very* helpful and generally very fast about answering problems. I have dealt with a lot of tech people and they are by far the best I've ever seen. Good luck, Rob
