Good control scheme for flight sim?

I'm making my own flight sim. Certain people (budget simmers) do have a standalone yoke but no throttle quadrant. Is it a good idea to make a version of the game where you can use racing pedals for speed brakes and throttle?

Brake pedal-speed brakes, gas pedal-throttle

(Note: For this your foot has to be on the gas constantly while you're flying.)

Why not make it to where you can change the controls to work with it? Would be a lot less work than making a new version.

Sure, why not? It would help some others get into it with the equipment they already have.

None

@gamechfo Problem: Foot must constantly be on the gas to fly.

@undefined Is that because it's relative to throttle? like if the petal is 50% down that means 50% throttle? Sounds fine to me

None

Yes, but real plane's throttles stay in place when you let go.
