I can't use the throttles with my joystick.

[Seneca]

 

Hello dear Forum Members, 

I am new here in this  forum and very glad to bee there. I say hello to everybody

I recently bought the Saab 340A in the aviatic shop. I find this is a very nice plane and very well modeled. 

unfortunately I have a problem and hope you can help me.

 

I can't use the two throttles in the airplane  with my X52 PROFESSIONAL H.O.T.A.S. joystick

Move the throttles is only possible with the mouse  :-(

 

Other probelm, also with the mouse, I can't go in reverse mode and also  i can't  go back any further than in the

idle position. This makes the handling during flight and especially in the landing phase difficult.

 

I have many planes in Xplane 11 and all works right away. This is he first problem that i have.

 

i am sure you can help me   :-) 

 

Best regards from Switzerland

Stefan

You need to assign BOTH throttle levers to the "Throttle" axis.

You have to assign a key press or button press to the Flight Idle Latch manipulators located under the actual hand grips on the Power Levers.  You can assign 1 key/button for both, or a separate key/button for each one.  To find them, go into the key assignment tab in the settings, and just do a search for Flight Idle Latch.

Many thanks for the prompt help Goran, i really appreciate this.

I won't be able to game with "my" Saab again until the end of the week. But nex sunday i will follow your recommendations. Your comments about the thrust levers surprise me a little, because the thrust lever works perfectly on all other planes.

Goran, i am sure that I have an axis assignment, it must be, otherwise it wouldn't work with the other planes. I will check the axis assignment next weekend. the best example is my aircraft EMB-110 Bandeirate. Without any special assignement, both throttle levers work fine, even the idle position and reverse thrust on landing work perfectly !    So your recommendation about the throttle levers  surprises me a liittle because I already have some assignment. But i will check this next sunday and i will write back to you Goran.

About the second position, i will assign a key or button for the Flight Idle Latch manipulators. I hope, i will find one free button  :-) :-)   because i have so many assignement pfffffffffffffff. Goran the ""Flight Idle Latch manipulators located under the actual hand grips on the Power Levers"".  Can you if possible,  send me a printscreen about the exact location of this Flight Idle Latch manipulators ? I am not sure what you mean.

Goran, many thanks for your help. Have a nice time and i write back at the latest on Sunday.

Stefan

Hello Goran,

Today was my free day and i tried everything during this day. I can't connect the two throttles in the SAAB 340A with my X52 PROFESSIONAL
H.O.T.A.S. joystick. But the throttles is assign to the throttles axis Nr. 2. 
And all the throttles in my other 23 planes that i fly more or less regularly both throttles work very well !!!

I've temporarily put throttle controls on F1 and F2. But that's really not the solution!
Very interesting is the fact when I start xplane the two throttles are in reverse mode. 
When i go  with F1 or the mouse over the "iddle line", then I never can't go again back into reverse mode with the F keys or the mouse. 

I still hope you can help me again  :-)
