Has anyone been able to successfully calibrate the Ursa Minor Metal throttle for the A340?

This is what I have done:

a) Started SimAppPro and calibrated within the app - both throttles test OK to full travel

b) Started MSFS and loaded the A340

c) Testing the throttles within SimAppPro shows the RY axis (engines 3&4) not going to full travel on the test page

d) Created a 4-Engine profile

e) Engines 3 & 4 are not in sync with 2 &3 which appear to be working normally

f) I have tried the "In-Sim" calibration on the EFB (some say not to do this and it should only be done within the app) but this does not change anything

I have read several sources that indicate this should be a simple process.

Hi. I have these throttles. 
You should configure them in SAP as follows - 
Select Single-stroke double shaft as this will allow full range of the axis to transmit as a single fluid motion.

Then in MSFS you should config them as follows -

(Mirror RaxisX controls to Throttle 1 & 2 and RaxisY controls Throttle 3 & 4)

Now in the A340 EFB you should set them up as "2Axis" and assign the points as desired

This should resolve any conflicts and allow use as intended with full reverse range.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help.

I have attached my settings and the result with my Urse Minor throttles at Idle is shown with the misalignment of 1/2 & 3/4 thrust levers

Hi Steve,

I have found a solution and for the benefit of others, this is what I did:

I had to invert the 3/4 throttle bindings, and I recalibrated (again) in SAP.

The only thing remained is my reversers don't work despite the assignments and calibrations done, so at least we're getting somewhere.

Final Update - reversers now working.

Despite selecting "Reversers on Axis" = "Yes" on the EFB, the ThrottleData.ini was not updated and had it set to "False".

Manually editing the TrottleData.ini file to "True" now has the reversers working on the Ursa Minor.

Issue now closed.
