I know this has been done to death before, BUT has anyone manged to bind a keyboard or Honeywell switch/axis to disconnect the longitude auto throttle. Taking your eyes off the outside  right on landing to find the auto throttle button on the power levers does nothing to help the approach.

I have a pre-programmed switch for Auto throttle on my Logitech Multipanel that works with Longitude, so there must be a keyboard command for it.

The default keyboard command for 'ARM AUTO THROTTLE'  in the Autopilot section is  Left Shift R.

I have this bound to a button on my TM Warthog. It works for PMDG, Fly by Wire and the default MSFS aircraft.

I'll try later today to see if the binding is a toggle - from memory I think it is.

 

I've bound the backcourse button (since I never use it) on my Bravo AP to auto-throttle.  Works great.

In the new beta version, the auto throttle will disconnect itself just prior to touchdown.

@FakeWayne Thanks for that info. I have bound the bravo back (rev) switch as you said. Also I found a "AUTO THROTTLE DISCONNECT" in the autopilot section. I bound switch 2 on top of the alpha yoke (L/H side) to this. (It depends if you have a spare button to use). Works good.
