I'm asking again to see if anyone knows this time, saitek support is useless,
I have seen several people's pictures showing their flight deck setup. Some of them have 2 throttle's hooked up to their saitek yokes. The yoke only has 1 plug in for the throttle (looks the sames as the old PS/2). If you have 2 connected how are you connecting the 2nd one?

The throttle that comes with the yoke will have the PS2 like connector, if you purchase just a throttle it will come with USB connection.

Did you buy the 2nd throttle by itself, because it is my understanding that only the throttles that come with yokes have ps/2 connections, and ones that come by themselves have USB connections.

see: http://saitek.com/uk/prod/quad.html

Connectivity: USB 2.0

Are you saying both have PS/2?? ....if so then you need a PS/2 to USB adapter

I bought a yoke with a throttle last year, it went bad, so I bought another a few weeks ago, it also came with a throttle, so now I have 2.

I'm going to make it easier on myself; I will order a stand-alone with the usb connection. Anyone need one with a sp2 connection? I will mail it to you for $40.00 including shipping!!

Oh I see...you bought an entire new set so that is how you ended up with two...

I wonder if the PS/2 to USB adapter would work...Michael, could you e-mail me?
