Not quite "nuff said". Given the problems with this and the developer saying cant be done perhaps a bit more please?

OK here's how it works (but bear in mind this is not officially supported, you're on your own here):

Download and install xJoymap (for Windows users, you can use the pre-built Python interface installer; xJoymap is bundled with this one).

You should now have a file named

<x-plane 10 folder>/Resources/plugins/PythonScripts/xjoymap.ini

Open it with a text editor and paste the configuration given by tomcat357 above at the end of this file (including the section name in square brackets):

[Saab Condition Levers]
axis=4
dataref=LES/saab/CL/manip_common(float)
drl=0.90
drh=0.50

Of course you need to change the axis number to whatever your condition lever axis is (I changed the example to match for a TM Warthog throttle quadrant).

Very important: This will make your assigned axis move both condition levers of the Saab in the range between Min and Max only. Below Min (e. g. for engine start procedure or cutoff), you will have to handle the levers by mouse. If you try to control also the range below Min, this will interfere with the engine startup logic and your engines won't start. Quite logical - I can't think of a case where you'd move both condition levers below Min together (except perhaps for engine shutdown).
