October 30, 20232 yr The thrustmaster Airbus sidestick has a basic thrust lever axis, with a detent switch and ability to select reverse. However it doesn't appear to be operational by default. The thrust levers begin moving from the detent position, but I wonder how I'm able to utilise the REV function below the detent upon landing? Using P3D v5 with Aerosoft A330 Pro
October 30, 20232 yr It will depend on how the A330 gets its throttle input data--via the sim or directly from DirectInput, bypassing the sim's control axis variables. If it gets inputs via the sim, a utility like FSUIPC or Axes and Ohs can probably help. If the A330's custom FADEC code accesses the axis directly, you'd most likely need to work within the add-on's configuration, if such a capability is provided.

October 31, 20232 yr Author Ok I believe I determined the solution to this. The function is "Throttle (decrease quickly)". Not exactly the most intuitive description to get reverse on a 230 T passenger jet, but never mind 😉 Go to Key Assignments > Controller > T.A320 Copilot [not sure if that always says copilot, mine is set for LHS] > Throttle (decrease quickly). Double click will enable the auto "Change Assignment" function. Slide the Thrustmaster thrust slider to REV and it will assign Button 17 to that function. It looks like Idle REV is all that's available, but that's not unusual SOP in real life in any case, so upon landing at least things will look normal and the PM will be able to make SOP calls
November 2, 20232 yr Aerosoft A330 came with an option file (I can't recall it's name or location, but you should able to find it in the manual). you can edit it with notepad to make it compatible with TM Bus throttle, with full analog axis control with it's reverser. For most other aircraft, you might need 3rd part software like FSUIPC to do so.
