So i've ran through the tutorials in this great video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVicVzF0Po

 

However, when i'm in a jet or even 2 engine with reverser levers, it seems if i flick the reverser back, its either delayed or doesnt react in the sim or in the sim it goes nuts, the throttle will move upward suddenly in the sim and the lever is flickering back and forth.

Per the video i'm using "throttle decrease" for the lever and throttle cut for going backward to the detend.

 

Has anyone ran into this situation?

 

Get rid of the 'Throttle Cut'....I have never used that and reversers work fine for me on the Honeycomb...

Tried removing that, no change.

What i did do was start a new profile in msfs, blank.

Throttle 1 axis assigned (not the 0 to 100 one).. works fine by itself..

Then assigned Throttle 1 decrease to button 9 (the lever), flicked it back then forward to accept the button.

What happens in sim is that when i flip the lever towards me, immediately the throttle in the sim moves to the lowest position but there is no change on the lever image in the sim, unlike in the tutorial video.

I also cant seem to get the reverser lever to move in sim either

A very common issue with the throttle is that the wires connecting reversers and TOGA are severed. It is a design flaw with the wires being too tight. You can usually see the severed wire if you use a flashlight. I am not saying this is your issue, but it was mine. Be aware of it. I took the throttle apart myself and fixed it, Honeycomb said it would take up to 3 months plus shipping time for them to do it. I am not even sure if they would repair it as well as I did myself. 

Actually i just may have solved it, well not really, i dont think anything was officially wrong here, just the depiction on screen was wacky.

I set both throttle 1 decrease and cut to the same lever button, except cut was set to "on release" this time.  I tried instead of a 747 a 2 engine 737, i flick the lever it shows rev, i flick it forward it cuts it.  Now initially the lever was dancing around on screen instead of just moving to the correct position, but based on engine gauge readout and visual, its working fine, at least with the 737, the 747 may have been a different issue, i think the bravo is ok.

EDIT: actually if i try to move the throttle while the reverser lever is engaged (on), its when it dances around on screen.  which i guess that action makes no sense, so the sim went bonkers with the lever haha

Happened to me a few weeks ago.
I contacted Honeycomb and they sent me a replacement throttle lever, so kudos to them.

I have found that when the image on the screen is dancing around you have some other device assigned to the same action. Go through all your assignments carefully and see if there's a duplicate

Hmmm, its not the throttle lever that breaks, its the cable in the unit from the board to the throttle itself. Good of them to help you out though.

For me it was that the TOGA button didn't work anymore,something inside the lever must have broken.
From your post I thought we were talking about the same issue because you mentioned the TOGA wire beeing severed 😉

But yes, very good customer service from Honeycomb.
