I remember that it took me sometime to figure out how to calibrate the Fenix Airbus throttles in MSFS 2020. In MSFS 2024, I have created a new airplane profile for the Fenix airbuses, and then I have selected the axis for both throttle 1 and throttle 2 and inverted the axis, which I assume is the same as reverse in MSFS 2020. This does not seem to work.

My throttle is the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog one..................got reverse power working OK, just cannot get forward thrust in order to calibrate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

new airplane profile for the Fenix

I am still trying to figure our how to do that. I can copy/rename/edit the general and airplane profiles, but found no way for the aircraft specific ones. Thinking about it, I don't even know how to select which profile I am currently messing around with 😉

Anyway, I mapped the axes 1-100% to my Thrustmaster Airbus quadrant and sometimes the throttle is recognized but usually not (regardless of whether the axses are inverted or not). there is no movement in the control listener. thus no movement in the FMC calibration screen of the Fenix. Just sitting here at LOWI in the 319 and cannot get any further (flaps can be set, so the quadrant is working and recognize). the quadrant is recognized under Win11, though. so it seems to be wider issue which I hope MSFT is working on

EDIT just changed into the default INI A320 and there the throttles move and I could calibrate them..

EDIT2 Reversers on the INI 320 still don't move though calibrated and axis movement seen in the EFB

EDIT3 so I tried the FBW. While starts on its belly and sunk into the ground despite gear being down, once flying the throttle works - and also the reversers... So 3 different planes and 3 different findings.... I will file a ticket with MSFT

I believe the Fenix needs the "throttle 1 axis" and NOT the 0-100% axis.

let me try that. but do you also know how I can create a profile just for the Fenix? Do I need to click somewhere to trigger such a aircraft specific profile? Just don't understand that controller setup yet

EDIT THANKS that did the trick. at least for the Fenix. Throttles and Reversers working now! Just wondering whether this is now applied too all other airbuses - being goog or bad. will check next

Thats correct - just did that and works perfectly!

Yeah.

I'm not on my PC so I can't screenshot, but here is how.

On the controller config, button left you have 3 areas to make choices on. There is the main TCA profile on the top. I leave that default. The second one, you can duplicate an existing profile. I named this one Fenix. The bottom one is something specific to that airframe. I usually have that as None/

It *should* autodetect the correct profile when you load the plane.

thanks, that is what I figured. but HOW do I know which of these 3 profiles I am working on? 

BTW, I managed somehow to create an aircraft controls profile for the Fenix w/ axes 1 and 2 only but reversers still don't work on the INI A320v2 though being calibrated in the EFB... will wait for a possible fix... glad I can fly the Fenix now at least

 

My understanding is it's a cascading priority. If Airplane Controls are different than General, Airplane is used. If A320 Specific is different than Airplane, it wins.

The real answer to your question is the changes you are making are really in the Fenix profile. You can leave the Botton one at None. Since the overall throttle axises are different between the INI and Fenix, I have separate airplane controls. I imagine the bottom one is handy if there is some nuance between what one has in the middle one, but I'm more inclined to just make the changes all in the middle one.

Also, this thread has a possible fix for the reversers on INI. 

 

Sorry to bump this guys.........but need some help binding my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog throttle with the Fenix Airbus throttle in MSFS 2024. I have tried using, throttle axis, throttle 1 axis and throttle 1 and throttle 2 axis together - and none of them work.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

plenty of  good  utube  out  there  explaining   control  assigments

No issues here at all. All set up. However, watch to use throttle axis 1 and 2. Not standard 0-100% axis!!

Thanks for the responses.

I am pretty well versed in setting bindings via both MSFS 2020/2024 and FSUIPC, and I have watched MSFS 2024 tutorial videos also to learn the 'new' way of setting bindings.

I have also tried binding my throttles using axis 1 and axis 2 and not the 0-100% axis - and they fail to respond as I would expect. I sometimes just get the throttle in the plane jumping to TOGA, when I start to move my physical throttles.

So, I am looking for someone who has been able to successfully bind the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog throttle with the Fenix Airbus throttles - all other bindings that I use within the Fenix airbus have been set and are working fine, and as expected.

Need to solve this as the Fenix is one of my favourites.

Also using the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog throttle which so far working perfectly for me with throttle 1 and throttle 2 axis. Have a button bound for reversers. Not had any jumping issues that you mention. Have you checked/set the throttle calibration via the MCDU? Also checked nothing else is in conflict with the throttle control?

Make sure Incremental Thrust Handling is off in the EFB.

Hi Dusk, many thanks for your response. I select the throttle 1 and 2 axis, and use the scan function to determine the axis. When I return to the Fenix Airbus, the throttles either move directly from reverse to TOGA, there is no graduated movement, as I had in MSFS 2020, so I am unable to use the MCDU to calibrate the throttle. I have tried with and without an inverted axis.

I have also checked that there is no conflict with the throttle axis, and that incremental thrust handling is off in the EFB.

Can you share which axis you are displaying in your configuration, maybe with a screenshot.

Cannot figure out what I am not doing to get the throttle to work in the Fenix Airbuses - they are fine in default aircraft

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Here you go. Works smoothly here in both thrust and reversers.

 

Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the Fenix.

By the way I did not go through the MCDU calibration, it just worked.
