We all know the throttle has 35 programmable switches on board, so there are greater than sufficient controls to take a number of the heavy lifting of taking part in away out of your keyboard.
The whole lot is managed by Moza’s Cockpit Management software program which is the flight equal to the corporate’s Sim Pit for it’s racing wheels.
