Throttle movements commands

[jankin7@gmail.com]

I have been flying this aircraft with much delight ever since I bought it.....The throttle movements and the commands were easy to set up ....something must have changed since the update up untill 16.5....with engines on,I can not move thrust levers to gnd idle or reverse even not with the mouse....when the sim has started I still can move the throttles visibly but after that ,they will not go back beyond flight idle (in the graphic throttle prop  popup window the green boxes do move with the throttle quadrant movement so it can not be a hardware problem)...I have no clue how to assign the various commands like beta and thrust reverse ...could someone help me....thanx

Hi.
I bought this machine last week but I'm facing some joystick issues on tiller, throttle and propeller assignments.
Tiller: hydraulics ok and left hand side knob down: aircraft doesn't turn nor with joystick yaw nor with rudder pedals.
Throttle: after landing, lever stops at flight idle. It doesn't go back to reverse. Also, sometimes during flight it doesn't respond to joystick inputs. It is inconsistent.
Propeller lever: the same. Sometimes it doesn't respond to joystick inputs.

I'm using Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick for roll, pitch and yaw and CH Products yoke for engine commands. Both joysticks are calibrated and works 100% on other addons.

Made new download and installation with firewall off, but result is the same.
I'm using X-Plane 11.53r1.

Hope you can give me some clue about this issue!

Tks!

A search of these forums would have gotten you the answers you need!

 

Regarding the Throttles....

**************** IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS !!! ****************

NOTES:  (Power Lever Auto-Latch / Flight Idle Stop)

We have partially implemented the Saab Flight Idle Stop System.  The logic for the system is complete.  The annunciator is not modeled.  The Override Knob is not modeled.

This new feature should provide much better functionality during the landing phase.   

This feature provides an automated "safety stop", which prevents inadvertent movement of the Power Levers below flight idle when in flight.  This is
separate from the Power Lever Latch. 

As a part of this new feature we have redesigned how you use the Power Lever Latches.  You now have two options:

    1. Use the Power Lever Latches exactly the way they are used in the real world Saab.
    2. Have the Power Lever Latches "automated" in sync with the above described new Flight Idle Stop feature.

If you choose to NOT use the Auto-Latch then you will need to manually engage the latches on the Power Levers in order to move them below the Flight Idle position. You will only be able to do this when the Flight Idle Stop is Open

If you choose to use the Automated-Latch then you will not need to use the latches at all, they will be automated in sync with the Flight Idle Stop.  Just remember, this does not eliminate the Flight Idle Gate, you will still need to wait for the Flight Idle Stop to open in order to move your levers below the Flight Idle position.

You can choose which option you want to use in the User Preferences Window. When you load v1.6.4 the option should be set to "unchecked", which
means you want to use the latches as they work in the real world Saab. If you want this to be automated you will need to check the option for "Use PL Auto Latch".

In addition, all other preferences will be reset when you install v1.6.4 and you will need to set them accordingly.

The red line for the Power Levers, visible in the TQ viewer, now indicates the status of the Flight Idle Stop.  In v2.0 you will be able to see the status of the Flight Idle Stop as an annunciator on the FSP.

You will still need to keep your hardware in sync with the cockpit manipulators.  Use the TQ viewer in the menu to see if your hardware controls are in sync with the cockpit manipulators.

Regarding the nosewheel steering....

NOSE WHEEL STEERING:

We have provided two (2) options (selectable in user preferences).

1) Use Tiller Checked (ON)  - This allows you to use the in-cockpit tiller (manipulator) to steer.

2) Use Tiller Unchecked (OFF) - This allows for mouse/hardware steering.

In addition... steering is only available when the following criteria are met:

    • On the ground (WOW)
    • Hydraulic PSI >= 1500
    • Aircraft is moving
    • Tiller is engaged (depressed)
