How to setup CH Throttle Quadrant for TBM

[fireone]

BjornMa in an earlier post pointed out the  horizontal  and right hand side of the  "h"  are controllable by  assigning the appropriate predefined commands to a keyboard press .

I assigned those commands to one of the gray buttons on the CH Throttle Quadrant so that pushing the button in the upward direction is assigned " Mixture rich a bit" and a downward press "mixture lean a bit" .  The joystick config screen  however gives you many options for these 2 commands depending on how many engines the plane has . In the config search line enter   "mixture " without quotes.

The list of possible options will be displayed . Choose the one that has no engine number, the generic one.      If you assign it to engine #1 , it will not work.

Once assigned , pressing the mixture up a bit  3 times transfers the throttle arm to the left part of the "h" .   A conventional Quadrant throttle arm then controls the left side.

Calibrate your throttle on the quadrant as per normal and make sure there are no other buttons that control the throttle  , so delete keyboard commands that control throttle , tell the configurator to ignore the other throttle lever on the quadrant.  The throttle assignment cannot be a numbered one . Again , it has to be the generic one.

I watched the second tutorial which explains how the throttle works and the instructor describes which two commands will control the Tab function that allows the throttle  to operate in taxi and reverse mode..

One or the other of the two commands can be assigned to another gray button on the Quadrant .

  For this  I chose the gray button  immediately under the throttle so throttle and button can be controlled simultaneously with one hand.  It just so happens that the detente on the Quadrant almost precisely matches the point at which reverse thrust engages.
