Thrust Lever System
In order to have full functionality of the throttle and the related indicaters, you need to have a hardware throttle device. No matter what brand or model you have, it need to be a lever or a slider with a potentiometer, so you can control the throttle axis smoothly. CH-Products and Saitek have fine stuff, but even a no-name is better than nothing.
A plugin aquires the signals of your thrust lever and sends them to the aircraft, no matter on which axis slot your throttle is assigned to.
