Multi-Engine Throttle in ETHOS

 Just ran across somebody having an issue with Throttle Cut and multi-channel throttle mixing on another radio OS with VERY limited multi-engine support.


On ETHOS, this is quite simple to do.

To get multi-channel throttle, go to your Throttle Mix, set your Channels Count to 2 or higher, then set each channel’s target output below (such as say Ch7 for your second motor). Up to 4 channels are supported per Throttle Mix. Clone your Throttle mix if you need more. 

Yes, you can have enough Throttle channels for a B-36 (6 turning, 4 burning. Or more likely 2 turning, 2 burning, 2 smoking, 2 choking and 2 generally unaccounted for)

Throttle Cut and/or Hold will still work correctly across both channels.

You can target those channels independently with Free Mixes if you want to have differential throttle for steering or tuning (S1 and S2 would make good tuners for a twin on gas/glow where you want to sync the two motors. T5/T6 would be even better if you have an ETHOS radio other than the X20(S) which lacks those two trimmers)
