Sometime within the last few months this started and I’m finally exhausted of trying to find a solution on my own.
I use dual Airbus TCA quadrants connected to one another (aka 4 engine setup). When I fly GA aircraft, I have the eng 3&4 profile set to control prop(s). I use the exact same sensitivity settings as on my eng 1&2 quadrant which I use for throttle(s).
What I can’t figure out is why my prop reverse no longer works, but the throttle reverse works. The sensitivities are identical, yet I cannot get the prop levers in any GA aircraft to go below the idle setting unless I use the mouse to manually move it into reverse or feather. Previously, putting my TCA quadrant levers into reverse would reverse the props as well - just like the throttles do - but no longer no matter what sensitivities I use. This is unique to propellors only as the throttle reverse still works using the same sensitivity.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The 3&4 quadrant is bound to the props, and nothing is bound to prop reverse or feather as this is not needed - at least, it nevert used to be (and I also have nothing bound to throttle reverse however the sensitivity settings take care of that). Even if I do bind the axis’ to the prop reversers, it still doesn’t go past idle without using my mouse.
There is no full range propeller axis in the base game, it stops at 0% and doesn’t go negative to feather range. To feather a prop with the base game keybindings you need to use the prop reverse toggle/hold command and then move an axis (the increase/decrease buttons don’t work with them) with the 100% position on the axis corresponding to full feather.
You can simulate a full range prop axis, but it requires a virtual button on the joystick axis as well as an exotic joystick response curve, see here: Kodiak Taxi Speed with Bravo - #18 by PANTSZER
Sorry, a correction. The increase decrease buttons do in fact work the reverse commands. So if you bind a button to both toggle/hold reverse thrust and increase propeller pitch then pressing that button will cause the lever to be pulled all the way back to feathered.
As I understand it your throttle axes have some virtual buttons pre-programmed into them, that might be how it originally worked. You pulled the lever past the idle detent and that caused the virtual button to activate and feather. Thrustmaster’s programming software should also allow you to create virtual buttons, in case there are none.
This exactly is how the throttle works but without programming any virtual buttons myself, and the props used to function in the same way. I will see what I can do - thanks for your response.
