2x Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog throttles?

[JohnHolmes]

Is it possible to use 2x Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog throttles?

 

A while back I bought a faulty second hand Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog joystick and throttle, with the thought of fixing the faulty buttons on the joystick. I disassembled the joystick but wasn't able to fix it. Later on I bought a new Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog joystick and throttle, so now have 2 throttles. 

 

Will Il2 (or other sims like DCS) allow me to use both throttles for double engined aircraft? I would just give it a go but have lent to a friend and would rather ask for it back once I knew it would work.

 

Cheers for any help.

Shouldn't be any problem in IL-2; don't know about DCS. However, I can't say I've done it, so take my assurances with a grain of salt. I have run two throttle quads before, but they were different brands.

DCS recognizes devices by USB IDs assigned by Windows, so as long as you plug these units always into the same ports, I think they should work OK.

 

I recall I also had to fiddle with USB IDs when editing Il-2GB config files when switching to another computer, so the same might apply in this sim as well. I guess you won't know for sure unless you try it.

Thanks for your help

 

I'll just get it back and give it a go.
