How to - Calibrate my throttles?

[richboy2307]

You must calibrate your throttles via the aircraft EFB "Throttle Calibration" app.

Firstly you must establish if you use reverse thrust on an axis or not.

• If no, ensure 'REVERSE ON AXIS' is set to NO on the EFB.  You will have to bind reverse thrust to a button / input on your hardware.
• If yes, and you do intend on using reverse thrust on an axis, ensure you set this to YES.

Then you may begin the calibration process by pressing 'START CALIBRATION' button.

• Move your hardware axis physically to its idle position then press the highlighted 'SET IDLE POSITION' button.
• Next, your hardware axis physically to its full forward position then press the highlighted 'SET TOGA POSITION' button.
• You will be greeted with a green bar on the top saying 'THROTTLE CALIBRATION IS SAVED' once completed.

Note: Reload the plane to ensure this change is made properly.

Issues with Calibration

If you experience any issues with the Throttle Calibration process, you may force-reset the calibration on the EFB via either of the following methods:

• PC & Xbox: Toggle the "Reverse on Axis" option between YES and NO a few times to reset the calibration.
• PC Only: Delete the 'ThrottleData.ini' file to start fresh on next launch of the simulator. This file will be found in the work folder of the aircraft, and the path will vary based on where you purchased the simulator:
  
  Steam: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a300\work
  MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a300\work 

 

Issues with Reversers

If you experience any issues with the operation of reversers on hardware with reverse on axis (E.g. TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition), please ensure the following:

• Reverse on Axis: Ensure you have selected YES on the EFB Throttle Calibration page.
• Calibration: Ensure you have completed the calibration at least once. This will ensure the creation of a 'ThrottleData.ini' file.
• ThrottleData.ini : The file can be found at the path stated above. Open with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and check that it says the following -
  
  [throttle]
  reverse_on_axis = true
  
  If it says false, change it to true as above. Reversers should then work after a sim restart.
