Hi

May I make a request for changes to the MCDU throttle calibration settings. At present, it isn't very clear how to set the various throttle positions as there only appears to be 2 options; idle and idle reverse.

As most external throttle quadrant devices have at least 3 positions, reverse (often represented by a button press in the MSFS control settings), an idle position and then at least one for max thrust (i.e. full forward on the throttles), there usually isn't a set position called "idle reverse". This makes it very difficult to position the throttle quadrant correctly with regard to the two options available on the MCDU throttle calibration. This is certainly the case with my Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant. Many other aircraft addons offer a full range of settings so that devices can be mapped more easily - if it is an airbus-type (e.g. Fenix), To/Ga, flex, climb, idle, idle reverse and max reverse.

At present, I have been unable to find a way of mapping my Bravo Quadrant throttle settings so that the reverse detents work correctly. I have tried creating deadzones and extreme deadzones in the MSFS 2024 control settings but none have worked successfully.

With proper mapping options available from within the MCDU throttle calibration settings, I am sure that I will be able to map my devices more easily.

Thanks for your suggestion, Mike.

Are you in the Synaptic Discord? If not, I can happily pass this along to the dev team.

Thanks 🙂
