Calibration buffer L/R%

[Acktu]

I am not sure that changing buffer calibration is working.

Even if I set those % numbers to extremely high percent, I see that hitting the detents is extremely small and any deviation from that exact point takes it out of detent.

A good way to reproduce this is by loading ThrottleData.ini into Notepad++.  Leave your throttle in idle and hit "Set IDLE" with a specific buffer.  Notice the idle_min and idle_max values in the ini file.  Now change the value in the idle buffer and Set IDLE on EFB again.  Notepad++ says the file has been updated.  Now note the values in the ini file have not changed from the last time, even though you set a different buffer value in the EFB.

OK I found a work-around, so this is definitely a bug by the EFB not saving the buffer and not the actual plane.

Since these values are different from other users, I'll outline the steps until developers fix this bug.

What I did is used ChatGPT (other AI tools will probably do the same thing) to do the hard work for me, so it's super easy.

• Tell ChatGPT: "I need you to modify all of the "_min" and "_max" values. For each set, make values 0.2 further apart:"
• Open ThrottleData.ini from
  Steam: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2024\microsoft-aircraft-a330\work
  MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\microsoft-aircraft-a330\work
• Copy and paste it's entire contents of that file into ChatGPT and it should provide you with the edited results.  Copy and paste the results back intoThrottleData.ini, save and restart sim.

Hope this helps others, as it was a pain to catch the detents properly.  Now it's super easy.  I am using HC Bravo throttles.
