Hello- trying to work out if this possible. I'm trying to configure reverse thrust with the aerosoft CRJ and Honeycomb Bravo, so that I can have idle reverse as well as maximum reverse.

First, I have the throttle axis correctly bound through AAO, they work fine. The software output of the maximum position is +16383, the minimum position at the idle stop is -16384.

1) I want to "limit" the maximum negative output of the axis. Sort of like a reverse dead zone. So that when I have the throttle in the idle position, instead of sending -16384, it sends -13000. I set -13000 as the idle position in the CRJ calibration menu, which means when I pull the physical throttle to idle it sends -13000 and leaves -13000 to -16384 reserved for reverse.

2) Then, I want to use the button press that's activated when I lift the reverse handles to command axis position -13500 (which together with point 1) is below the level that can be commanded with the travel range of the physical axis. This should put the commanded axis position just into the reverse range and engage idle reverse.

3) Similarly, I want to use the button press that's activated when I pull the throttles down into the reverse detent to command the full negative output position -16384, which should then engage max reverse thrust.

 

What's the best way to go about doing this?

 

Thanks

@CIKSSFMO, are you sure you've posted in the correct forum? What simulator are you using?

 I presume the Lorby-SI Payware forum is the correct place to ask questions about axis and oh's? MSFS.

I'll leave it for @Lorby_SI to answer. It can be moved to MSFS forum if required.

The 4 most recent posts in this sub-forum, right below mine, are all asking for support for using Axis and Ohs. Which is a Lorby payware product. Where else should it go if not here?

As I was using the search function on AVSIM, I find your question. I implemented the following solution that I shared with somebody else on this forum.

To help you read (and latter configure your TQ), this what you will find in the "PMDG_747QOTSII_Throttle.json" profile at Aerosoft

The idea is (for Engine 1 of a 4 engine jet)
1 - when rising the small reverser lever = PressEvent Button 8
   - set a variable (INT:REV_0) to true : the reverse is on
   - set "K:AXIS_THROTTLE_REVERSER1_SET" to -14000 = idle reverse
2 - when closing the small reverse lever = ReleaseEvent Button 8
   - reset (INT:REV_0) to false
   - K:THROTTLE1_CUT
3 - when moving the throttle lever further down when in reverse mode (INT:REV_0 true) = PressEvent Button 25
   - set "K:AXIS_THROTTLE_REVERSER1_SET" to 16383 = max reverse

I have added this 4th action to allow to return to Reverse idle (not in the original profile)
4 - going back to idle when in reverse mode (INT:REV_0 true) = ReleaseEvent Button 25
   - set "K:AXIS_THROTTLE_REVERSER1_SET" to -14000 = idle reverse

As your are usng AAO for the axis, it is VERY IMPORTANT you use the option "update value" on change instead of continously (See page 16 of AAO documentation)

Otherwise the "AXIS_THROTTLE_REVERSER1_SET" will be immediatly reset to 0.

Good luck
