Finally decided to take the leap and install MSFS 2024, but I am still in the frustration phase trying to set up my hardware and views.

The SAAB 340 looks very interesting and I thought I would give it a go but I can not get my Throttle axis (or any other axis) assigned using SPAD.next. I got the C90 (also a twin turbo) sorted with condition detents and thrust reverse but it seems like the SAAB is completely different and nothing I could think of to date could get any of the levers in the cockpit to move.😳

If there is any one out there that figured it out - please help.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a Saitek throttle quadrant and I found the B_ Var mentioned but I am not sure what the correct settings are.

The settings screen - what should I Change?

I played around but I can not find the correct combination.

Thanks for the help so far

I don't use SpadNext, but just downloaded it to use the trial version. (bored and I wanted the challenge)

Got it to work.

  • Range Definition > No
  • Rescale Value > Yes  (from=0 ; to=100)
  • Use Axis value > On
  • Use raw/rescaled value > On

Perfect answer above, only use the invert axis if you find it controls the wrong way round, I find my Saitek trim wheel can..

Thanks a lot. That got the throttle lever moving.

I found that the Rescale Value (from=0 ; to=100) only gave me half of the movement and did not move into reverse, changing the value to (from=-50 ; to=50) gave me full travel and reverse. I hade to invert the axis.

Learned something new about SPAD. Still can not understand why they can not standardise the settings.

Thanks a lot again.

Johan

PS - I had the gust lock on - hence the limited range of movement - will play some more

This value works for full travel on the throttle, I configured a separate axis on my quadrant for reverse with (from=0 ; to=-50) using the same B event - now I need to learn how to fly the SAAB 😁

Thank you, very helpful, I fixed it with your instruction.

Do you also know how to set the knob to increment and decrement the altitude ? I'm using spad.next.

Thank you
