Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with idle reverse thrust in the iniBuilds A380 when using my Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant. I would appreciate your help in identifying whether this is expected behavior, a configuration issue, or a potential bug.

Hardware and configuration

• Throttle quadrant: Honeycomb Bravo

• Reversers on axis: Off

• Keybind: Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust (as officially recommended)

• Calibration: My throttle has been calibrated accordingly

Issue description

The reverse thrust functionality generally works as expected, but I'm experiencing an issue specifically with idle reverse thrust.

1. With the thrust levers at idle, activating the Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust keybind does not immediately engage reverse thrust.

2. Reverse thrust only activates once I move the thrust levers slightly forward, introducing a small amount of thrust.

3. When reverse thrust is already active, pulling the thrust levers back to idle while keeping the reverse thrust keybind activated causes reverse thrust to disengage.

Expected behavior

I would expect idle reverse thrust to engage immediately when activating the Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust keybind with the thrust levers at idle.

Additionally, when reverse thrust is engaged, pulling the thrust levers back to idle should result in idle reverse thrust rather than disengaging reverse thrust entirely, provided the reverse thrust keybind remains active.

Additional information

I have verified that my Honeycomb Bravo is calibrated according to the iniBuilds recommendations.

The same hardware and general control setup work correctly with the Fenix A320 for example. This makes me wonder whether the issue could be specific to the iniBuilds A380 or its reverse thrust implementation.

Questions

• Is this behavior expected with the Honeycomb Bravo, or could there be an additional setting required to enable proper idle reverse thrust?

• Is there a recommended configuration or workaround for this issue?

• Could this potentially be a bug with the A380's reverse thrust logic?

Thank you for your time and assistance. I'm happy to provide additional information or screenshots of my control settings if needed.

Hi,

Yes, unfortunately, due to the way the sim recognizes buttons and axis, this is normal behaviour.

I also have to do the same thing when using the Thrustmaster Boeing throttle.

I’ve seen a few workarounds online, so I’ll try to find some that may help and update this thread accordingly.

Thanks!
