That’s what i don’t get, I make no changes and some days it seems to be fine, other days there are issues. I’m not giving up with it though, last night I had quite an enjoyable flight absolutely everything went right, other than the ATC not giving me landing clearance until I was on final after following a IFR flight plan, but that’s nothing to do with the aircraft. Now if I can just figure how to taxi on one engine I think i have it pretty much mastered!
I find i spend more time trying to fix issues than i do flying. Very frustrating,
I feel your pain. I know this is probably the first thing you checked, and hope you don’t feel insulted by me asking, but have you checked you don’t have any other controllers with the assignments bound to those, I actually am an idiot because I did not think about that and I was having an issue with my throttle levers seemingly moving by themselves, I have 2 main flight controls, my Honeycomb yoke for aircraft with yokes, anything else I use a joystick, the joystick has many buttons which I can program and also a throttle lever, I don’t really use that as I have my Honeycomb throttles, as such I have disabled it on all of my aircraft profiles that use the joystick, but at some point it had reverted to the default setting which the throttle is active so I was actually getting 2 control inputs, as soon as I switched it back to an aircraft with the throttle deactivated my throttle problem was fixed.
What are you using for throttles?
Have you checked your assistance settings to ensure there are no assists on?
(they will change by themselves)
Soon as i move the throttles…even about 1mm, they go either fully open or fully closed…nothing in between.
Flaps try to move but remain in the up position.
All assists are off.
I was using the CH Throttle Quadrant but disconnetced that when i purchased the Honey Bravo system.
It only happens with ATR
Have you seen these vids, they may help:
Thanks for your advice input,
Tried numerous times to ‘clean’ and reset as decribed in these videos, but still have the same problem Only with the ATR

Check there’s not a landing gear binding somewhere that is preventing the flaps moving, I had similar and when one gear lever (aircraft on the ground) was set to down then the flaps became unstuck.
My head is about to explode with the throttles though (TCA), have followed set up guides for assigning axes, sensitivity/linearity, efb for matching to the aircraft and still cannot get sensible response through the throttle range…

I’ll give it a try. (Out of town for a week).

yes, assists are off
cheers
Tried your suggestion numerous times but sill getting the same result. As soon as i touch the trottles they move to the other ‘end’.
it’s either full power or idle. nothing in between.
Hi, I am new on these forums and came here because I am having problems with my ATR throttles. Right hand throttle behaves ok, but left hand throttle is either fully open or full reverse.
I have the Thrustmaster Airbus Sidestick and Quadrant, which works fine for all other aircraft, whether single, twin or 4 engine.
Did you calibrate the throttles in the EFB?
Hi, yes, the throttles are calibrated in the EFB. For some strange reason, only the ATR refuses to work with the Airbus throttle quadrant. All the other singles, twins, both prop and jet and the 747 work with the throttle quadrant. (I have set up two quadrants side by side for engines 1,2,3 & 4 and it works perfectly for the 747).
For the twins and singles, I just use the left quadrant.
As far as the ATR goes, it responds to the throttle when I open it, but immediately dies back. When I hit Ctrl5 and look at the onscreen throttle, it doesn’t move when I move the physical throttle control.
However, when I control the onscreen throttle with the mouse, it works just fine.
It also works OK if I use my Thrustmaster Hotas X joystick/throttle combo.
The ATR just seems to have a problem with the Airbus throttle quadrant. This applies not just to the throttle, but all controls on the quadrant; the spoiler, flaps, engine fuel switches, engine starters, gear lever and parking brake.

Do you have both controllers plugged in at the same time?
If so, try with only one controller plugged in.
No, only the one throttle connected.
The Thrustmaster Airbus Captain set setup has the throttle quadrant (engines 1 & 2) module connected to the sidestick, then the sidestick connects to PC USB port. My second throttle quadrant for engines 3 & 4 on A380 and B747 plugs directly into another USB port on the PC.
I have tried with both throttle quadrants connected as above.
I have tried with the second throttle quadrant disconnected.
I have tried with the second throttle quadrant disconnected and the first throttle quadrant connected directly to the PC.
When I try to move the onscreen throttle controls with the mouse, the lever just jumps around.
If I disconnect the Airbust kit completely and connect the Thrustmaster Hotas X combo, then the ATR works perfectly.
It seems that this is the same problem as experienced by the Honeycombe Bravo user.
I think that I am going to have to talk to Thrustmaster support and see what they can come up with.

Are you using anything like FSUIPC to run your controls through?
No FSUIP. I’ve just gone through the whole setup again and everything but the ATR responds to the Airbus throttle.
The sim itself responds to the throttle movement by increasing engine revs, but the ATR does not recognise the throttle.
In the EFB, when I move the throttle on the quadrant, the EFB should show the relative raw data for the position of the throttle lever, but it doesn’t. This tells me that the ATR software is not recognising the presence of the Airbus throttle quadrant. Why that should be, when all other aircraft work fine with it, is a mystery that I need to put to both Asobo and Thrustmaster.
I ran a Youtube video of a chap setting up his Airbus throttle quadrant for the ATR, but he obviously has a different version.
The EFB in his video, despite having dual axis throttle and reversers selected, did not show the reverser on the engine 1 and 2 columns.
