Does anybody know a good source for a multi-axis toggle switch? I mean something like the prop pitch switch in a P-40, which can be seen at 16:10 in this video (and in game!):

Looks a (MON)-OFF-(MON) on horizontal and ON-OFF in vertical.

 

A (expensive) 4 way:

this in P40 seems a very specific type, probable you need look for real planes components in eBay.

 

In DCS Ka-50 "hay days" pit-builders have the same problem in find an specific switch similar (4 way), and their solution was DIY one.

Example, you can combine a ON-ON* toggle switch:

* Or use a ordinary ON-OFF and a keymapper adding function in ON to OFF state.

 

With two momentary lever switches:

Mount the first type pivoted in vertical, to be able to tilt and press the second type.

 

Or mod a arcade 4 way switch -  - adding latch in upper position:

Guitar "3 way switches" - don't figure how they work, but this ball on pivot suggest different directions.
