Using the Saitek throttle I noticed a few days ago, (after reading Airbus is Taxied using only one engine)

On ECAM Throttle 2 moves the Blue dot for Engine 1, but engine does not spool, move Throttle 1,  Blue dot for Engine for Engine 1 moves, but both engines spool.

Just fitted Thrustmaster Throttle and Sidestick and the same thing happens.

In MSFS both throttled work independently and bindings are for engine 1 and 2

Any ideas what I have done wrong in the previous setup?

 

 

If you have a single throttle lever only you assign both engines to it ( either by assigning both to just throttle, not throttle 1), if you have a multi throttle quadrant then assign engine throttle 1 to one lever and throttle 2 to the other.

Yes, I've done that, each throttle is assigned its own engine in MSFS, but, when, I open Throttle 2, although I can see on the ECAM the throttle opening the engine does not spool up.

However when I open Throttle 1, I can see it opening on ECAM, but both Engines Spool up.

I opened the 748 on a runway and both throttle worked properly. However, as I'm not a Boeing man, I didn't try to take off

I then reinstalled FBW A320 and opened on Rwy. Initially they both worked properly, but, once I had entered flight plan and set up aircraft for takeoff. I was back to one throttle running both engines

Apologies, although thus relates to Throttles, I don't believe it is a hardware issue. However if a mod or admin believes it should be moved to the hardware forum, please do?

Do you have any control software installed, either from Saitek or aftermarket ?

No control software

This is a known bug in MFS.  It is easy to correct.

What you have to do is go into the controls button mapping and UNMAP the current Throttle 2 Axis, then reassign it using "scan" to the throttle lever.  You will have to save a new configuration under a name you can pick, and then you will be off and running.  I had to do this with the Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant and it worked perfectly.

You also have to go through this type of procedure if you want the Bravo to handle various types of aircraft, such as Single Engine Simple (throttle and mixture only; unmap all second engine assignments and the prop lever assignments), Single Engine Complex (throttle, prop, and mixture; unmap all second engine assignments), Turboprop, two-engine jet, three-engine jet, four-engine jet, etc.  You will end up with a named profile for each type and all you have to do is select the right one depending on how you have the throttle quadrant set up for whatever aircraft you are flying.
