Using a steering as motorized throttle lever

I've disabled the centering effect so the wheel stays in w/e position you move it to. I've also reduced the usable range such that it only uses about 90degrees of rotation to represent 0-100%.

 

What I would really love!!! is for it to move on its own when autothrottle is engaged. The forcefeedback motors have the capability of very smooth motion and the "force" is quite strong.

 

If someone can point me in the right direction I am willing to invest some time to try to tinker with scripts and/or config files.
