Precise Throttle Control, Among Other Things

[=VG= XOR]

I've got a HOTAS setup for DCS, whose throttle I also use when playing Arma, KSP & PR at my desk, where as I use my phone as virtual throttle device when I'm not, and since more than a few people have inquired about it and since xinput.dll integration in to PR was long abandoned,I figured I'd at least share how anyone can use a phone as a throttle control device among other things, cos why not...

Step by step instructions are pretty clear, so if anyone needs help configuring it, just post up...

 

Simply put, your X-AXIS is your throttle, RZ-AXIS your yaw (steering), RX-AXIS your pitch & RY-AXIS your roll...

 

TLDR; If you don't want to constantly rely on tapping w to precisely control your speed when flying or even driving slow, which I imagine is the most obvious use case, then I highly recommend it, as in most cases it's even better that a hardware setup, which is absolutely Overkill for PR, as you can pretty much use it anywhere cos your phone is where ever you are.

Do you need it, ABSOLUTELY NOT, at best it's just more convenient as it provides analogue (high precision control) & has utility in other games as well,so it's just useful but not necessary by any stretch of the imagination.

Uhhh, noo, I'm sure there's other apps that allow you to do so, I mean you might as well get a joystick or sth at that point, eh

 

And yes Android only, cos, reasons
