Bravo throttle & fbw light switches

[Victoroos 205]

hi all,

I just got the Bravo throttle controller. It looks beautiful, throttles reversers,awesome!! What a piece of hardware.. the quality 😮

 

However, the switches and using them to control the lights, specifically in the FBW itsn't working as I expected. Taxi light isn't moving at all, and for the landing lights there is no retract button I noticed and it moves the taxi lights atst.

Any tips on this?

 

cheers

Vic

Hey I just got my bravo yesterday and am going through the same set up. I did find out that when you are assigning 2 position switches you need to use the ‘set’ option in the controller setup, not ‘toggle’. As far as switches that have three positions, I’m not sure.

Guys, have a look at this video, it's a great starting point.

YEah, I found that as well, thanks for mentioning it!

It doesn't really cover the light switches, throttle setup is good indeed! THanks for sharing.

I guess we have to look ath the alpha yoke which probably has the same problem.

This is what I used.

Upon further investigation, I think the answer might lie in a program called spad.next. I was on their discord server and several people were providing workarounds to 3 position switches common to the lights in the FBW320 and the ToLiss 319/321. I’m going to download a 14 day trial and see how it goes.

Drilled some holes in a piece of metal and screwed it to the desk.

If you're not handy there's an option to buy an under desk mount: LowRider™ Flight Simulator Under Desk Yoke and Throttle Mount (allsportsystems.com)

It's not an option really though if you're outside of the US as the post is crazy expensive.

I can also confirm Spad.next is a good option for this,

There’s a bit of a learning curve but some good you tube videos. Well worth the effort

What is that you are using to mount your Stream Deck ? I just got an XL and have been looking for mount options. I currently have it sitting on my Bravo throttle but not sure if I like it there

It's just two pieces of wood screwed together and painted black. Then a couple of angle brackets to screw it to the desk.
