After a successful first flight yesterday, this issue has come up today and is driving me a bit crazy.

Yesterday I calibrated my throttles using the A310’s built in calibration and it worked fine.  I had my throttle axes configured using FSUIPC as I normally do.  No problem.  Today my throttle won’t go to idle when my hardware is at the idle detent, even when I recalibrate them again and the calibration tool shows them at idle.

I tried disabling my FSUIPC settings for throttle and using the in-sim throttle assignments.  Again, the calibration tool shows the throttle as being at idle, but now putting the hardware to idle results in the plan going into reverse thrust.

Maybe it’s related to the wasm not compiling but something seems quite off with the calibration not aligning with what the aircraft is actually doing.

Make sure you have the correct setting for "Reverse on Throttle", calibrate and then re-load the a/c.

Thanks, I did have that set to have it on the axis.

I had a look at their FAQ and reset the aircraft after calibrating and it works fine now but it does beg the question why it didn’t save the calibration from my last flight.  I’ll have to get in the habit of checking my throttles before I go through the preflight in case I need to reset it.

maybe it has to do with the inbuilt calibration? cant you do it via the controller options menu, i am sure that gets saved.

or it is simply a bug?

 

This is a true pain in the a$$. Inibuilds posted a fix to edit the ini.file throttles to a lower idle value in the work.folder in your appdata/roaming/msfs. Need to disable reversers on the main throttle axes nonetheless because they keep coming up otherwise.

Thanks I’ll have a look at that.  My other issue is that when I put my thrust levers al the way forward my left one drops back to idle.  I’m guessing it’s just outside of the calibrated range or something but it would be nice if that didn’t result in the throttle jumping to idle.  Maybe something I can tweak in that ini file?

I appreciate aircraft that include a throttle calibration utility to allow for the thrust reversers to be on the axis (I’m looking at you PMDG!) but this one needs a bit of tweaking it seems.

My throttles were good at first, but now when I put my throttle forward, both are dropping back to idle. Did you figure out a way around this?

Kind of a sideways fix but ensure you enable the auto throttles when applying takeoff thrust, that eliminated the issue once the auto throttle took over.

There is definitely some noise at the extreme ends of the axis range though, I had the reverse happened to me last night,  when I went to apply full reverse one of my throttle’s kicked all the way forward.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Sucks that you set set manual takeoff or go around power. I did post about it in their discord.
