DeltaV Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) How do I get the throttle lockout to work in XPlane11? I keymapped a button on my X56 to "toggle reverse", and then tried "toggle beta" per the tutorial and without pressing either button my throttle slides from Flight Power to Taxi and to Reverse Thrust and vise verse. I slid the throttle from Flight to Reverse thrust on final approach with bad results. Help please. Edited October 29, 2018 by skiselkov Correction Quote
Chipwich Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Before you toggle the lockout, make sure that your throttle is not pulled all the way back. Just to the point where it would hit the stop, then hit the lockout toggle and ease it into the taxi zone. watch the little popup graphic in the lower right hand corner of the screen for assistance. At least that's what I've been doing. Quote
skiselkov Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Yes the procedure as @Chipwich describes. There is an audible "click" when the throttle hits the beta lockout gate. Also, if you pull into reverse while the throttle sits on the beta gate, it starts blinking red in the lower right corner of the screen, reminding you that you should move your physical throttle forward a little bit. Taxi/Reverse should only be selected once on the ground, not in the air, as doing so can overspeed the propeller and destroy the engine. Quote
