It is no secret that with its other-worldly graphics and realism, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has revolutionized flight simulating and gaming, in general, forever. We are a year into the release, and the craze refuses to die down. Other than the obviously immaculate graphics and life-like controls, one factor that has worked in the game\u2019s favor is the pandemic (and I am officially a horrible person for saying that!). While we are stuck in our rooms, the AAA title offers the rare opportunity to break the sullen bonds that bind us, float in the gentle skies, and fulfill our travel ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of writing, over 2 million people have purchased a copy of the game, and you could, easily, be one of them. All you need to get started is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. A powerful PC<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Copy of the game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Some Controllers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In reference to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, controllers are of paramount importance because they are at the core of the AAA title\u2019s most desirable quality- realism. Sure, they can be as simple as a keyboard and mouse pairing, but then the simulator won\u2019t feel like the real thing. I can\u2019t speak for you, but as far as I am concerned, searching frantically for switches on the virtual control panel and maneuvering complicated keyboard controls for pitch, yaw, and roll is a definite vibe-killer and something I am not really comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A viable alternative is to use equipment that mirrors the equipment that real pilots use. This includes Joy Sticks<\/a>, Yokes<\/a>, Rudder Pedals<\/a>, and Throttle Quadrants. Having covered the others in detail in the previous guides, this read would deal with the best Throttle Quadrants for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Yet, before we proceed to list down the products, it is only fitting that we understand what a Throttle Quadrant is and what are the things to look for while buying a throttle quadrant for a flight simulator in 2022? To answer the first part of the question, the throttle is the speed control. The thrust levers control the thrust outputs of individual engines. You can push the throttle levers for take-off and pull them back for a peaceful landing. In a multi-engine aircraft, individual thrust levers denote the engine number that they control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
