Can anyone tell me what’s going on here? I can’t get the prop levers to go into shutoff and can’t get the throttles to go into reverse.
For reverse, keyboard (F2 throttle decrease) doesn’t work and neither do button mapping equivalents.
For the condition levers try the TOGGLE PROP FEATHER 1 and 2 or unbind anything you have mapped to the prop axis and then use the mouse.
For the throttles decrease throttle used to work, have you calibrated the throttles in the EFB?

I tried those, did not work. If you have to use the mouse for it to work, that seems like a bug to me and not intended use.

Included a pic of the EFB, throttles calibrated.
for the reversers it is now ‘toggle throttle reverse thrust’ that you have to keybind.
Using that binding, it works, sort of. It seems like it gets stuck down in the reverse axis and you have to toggle it multiple times to get it to come back into the throttle range, and I haven’t been able to figure out a pattern of like, does the RPM need to go fully idle for it to go back to throttle when you toggle or not.
Also, if you leave it at reverse idle long enough, it seems like you start to lose electrical power. Not sure if that is realistic.
I had previously used “throttle decrease” when I put my physical throttle lever (Velocity One Flight quadrant) in its down detent. This caused the levers in the cockpit to animate correctly and provide real reverse thrust.
With the new update, I still get reverse thrust, but the levers no longer animate and do not move to the reverse position in the cockpit.

yes I believe you have to be in idle either direction for the toggle to switch the props from forward to reverse and back to forward… also seems to take a couple seconds for the toggle to kick in as the prop blades are rotating.
I didn’t see the loss of power… will have a look but I am never in reverse idle for long.
I’m confused why the topic here went from not being able to put the condition levers down to Fuel S.O. to talking about the reverse axis. I’m having no issues using the “decrease throttle” bind to go into reverse thrust, but I’m having the same problem as originally stated where I can’t get the condition levers to go down to S.O. once they have initially been pushed up. I have an axis for prop pitch, and it is being bound to condition levers like what normally happens in Turboprops, but it won’t let me move it down all the way to the bottom, it makes the lowest setting Feather, not S.O. Anyone solve this? I don’t want to stop using my prop axis. Maybe if I just never touch it at all and only use the mouse to control the levers? Once its moved with the axis, no amount of dragging the mouse down will let you put it in fuel S.O.
Solved by creating a profile for my throttle quadrant where the propeller and mixture axes are unbound. Maybe you only need to unbind the propeller axis.
To the other point, I have a button to toggle between reverse and normal axis for the throttle, and it works perfectly.
