TRITTON Quadrant Throttle Pro Flight - Manual (Page 3)

How to assign Quadrant controls to Flight Simulator functions
As you will normally be using the Pro Flight Quadrant alongside another controller in
Flight Simulator, you will need to ensure that you set the levers up correctly within the
game. By default, Flight Simulator will assign them to control the ailerons, elevator and
throttle, which will normally be in addition to that which your other controller is already
controlling; this will cause problems!
To reassign the levers correctly, you must use the Assignments (Flight Simulator 2004)
or Controls (Flight Simulator X) screen within the game. This is accessed from the
Settings menu within the game.
When you access the Assignments/Controls screen in Flight Simulator, ensure that the
Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant is selected in the option labeled Joystick Type.
Now select Joystick Axes (Flight Simulator 2004) or Control Axes (Flight Simulator X)
at the top of the window.
Once you have done this, simply find the command that you want to assign to your
controller from the list of commands, click it and then click the Change Assignment
button. A window will appear asking you to move the part of your controller that you
want to assign to that command - move the axis that you want to assign to that
command and then click OK.
Tip: You must ensure that none of the levers are assigned to the Aileron Axis or
Elevator Axis commands, otherwise they will interfere with your other controller that
you are using alongside the Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant.
If you wish to reassign the toggle switches on the Quadrant to other functions then you
must use the Buttons/Keys tab at the top of the Assignments/Controls window.
