Also, what effect do virtual buttons have?  I did Google it but am still none the wiser.

I don't see any response concerning this part of the question, so I'll try. You can assign virtual buttons which the quadrant will 'press' when the flaps and speed brake levers of the add-on pack are set to certain positions. As far as I'm aware this is a little-used facility, as the Fenix, and I assume other Airbuses in MSFS, tend to read the position of the lever axis to determine which flap/speed brake setting you require. If an aircraft used buttons instead to select brakes or flaps, then you could use virtual buttons to translate the position of your quadrant lever to a particular button press. I've always had virtual buttons disabled.

Thanks for that info.  Looks like I should just disable them then.

I don't think the flaps/spoilers have virtual buttons. When I assigned them in SPAD it was always just the full axis.

The throttles do, however. I have used 12 and 16 to set reversers on the PMDG.

Looks like we're both half-right. The speed brake has 5 virtual buttons, but flaps doesn't have any.
