I have to agree with Sonic. Could we be able to select how we want the throttle to respond? (ie reversible throttle)? It may sound "un-sim-like" but my hands always push up to increase throttle, and down to decrease (probably from all of the Mechwarrior and Jet simulator games).
Many blown up choppers later, I've realized that my hands can be my worst enemy
Basically, two new selectable commands
(example) Chopper throttle Reverse/Normal
Plane throttle Reverse/Normal
I've tried to use software to reverse it, but Sidewinders Game activator allows you to customize everything BUT the throttle. hehe.
