no

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons? If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

yes

Brief description of the issue:

The atr throttle jumps from 65 on thrust to max thrust. Wonā€™t stop on notch or ramp using my HOTAS x throttle hardware. The HOTAS works correctly with PMDG 737 and FBW A32 NX
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

try to move throttle to notch and then try from nearest position to notch to ramp. Nearest I can get to notch is 65 and nearest to ramp is max.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Throttle HOTAS X. Windows 10 version 22H2 OS build 19045.4894 NVIDIA GeForce graphics

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

when first installed. Not fixed after update

Did you go through a process like this:

ATR Throttle Calibration Tutorial | Thrustmaster TCA | Microsoft Flight Simulator (youtube.com)

The ATRā€™s throttles need to be calibrated via the EFB and even though you may have done this, it did need to be asked. :slight_smile:

4

Yes, I did that and anything else I could think of including sensitivity settings for my throttle. Nothing I have tried makes any difference.

5

What do you see in the Windows USB Controller setup properties, when you move your throttles? anything odd?

Oh, it might also be worth checking that an MSFS update hasnā€™t messed with your mappings and selected the wrong axis. I know you said that it worked for other aircraft, but donā€™t know whether you have different profiles for each.

6

Sorry for the delay in replying. I use different profiles for different planes. I have tried using these profiles to see if they might work, but no luck. One thing I did notice with the atr was that the sensitivity on throttle axis was almost at the end of the curve by the time the throttle was just below notch.
I have also tried using the keyboard keys to move the throttle but I get exactly the same problem, so it is not my HOTASX that is the problem. The other aircraft all work correctly it is just the atr that is a problem

7

I have the ATR, so will load it up later, when I get on my sim PC, just to see if anything has changed for me.

I might be imagining it, but there does appear to be quite a few people with what look like similar issues with different controllers, on different aircraft, at the moment, so something odd might have happened somewhere. The problem, as ever, will be finding where. :wink:

8

Thanks for that. I had noticed quite a few posts about problems with the atr throttles, but no one seems to have a solution to these problems. It will be interesting to see how you get on.

9

I actually have a HOTAS X, lying around somewhere, too, so should be able to at least a matching aircraft and controller.

10

Have to go out this morning, but look forward to what you discover when you try it out.

11

Regrettably the ATR has some teething problems, it could do with a complete rewrite for FS2024, although you should try the suggested solution by others.

12

Yes, I think you are right. They need to look at the whole model again. I think I have tried everything I can find, but as I said it has the same problem using the keyboard.

13

Iā€™ve just been playing with the throttle calibration in the ATR, with both my TM Warthog throttle and the HOTAS X and cannot appear to replicate the behaviour you are seeing.

The only thing I could think of was how you have set the ā€˜Toleranceā€™ values at the bottom of the ATRā€™s Throttle Calibration screen?

The HOTAS Xā€™s lack of physical detents does seem to make finding the detents a bit of a hit and miss affair, perhaps not helped by my Warthog having those physical ā€œstopsā€, but if youā€™d previously got on OK with that, then I am at a bit of a loss.

Is how my calibration screen looks, for the HOTAS X and it seems to work OK.

14

Thanks for doing that for me. I will look again at your suggestion and see if that helps. It is strange that the keyboard keys are doing the same thing, but possibly the same solution will work.
When I say I have everything, I feel I should qualify. I have tried everything I understand. I did fine a couple of things that people suggested, but they were away above anything I understood they were saying.

15

Ah sorry. Iā€™d missed that bit about the keyboard doing the same thing.

That would suggest that something in your ATR installation appears to be amiss somewhere. It might not be a bad idea to reinstall the ATR software, via the Content Manager, just to make sure that none of the ATR files on your PC have somehow become corrupted.

Itā€™s not something Iā€™ve done, but just to make sure, Iā€™d uninstall the ATR, restart MSFS, reinstall the ATR and restart MSFS again. That first MSFS restart might not be required, but better safe than sorry.

16

I have tried deleting the atr before, but I didnā€™t do all you suggested, so I will try again and follow what have said. I will check after the delete to see what files might still be in the folders, if any, and delete them as well.

17

If anything is off, it is likely to be a settings file(s), so just getting rid of that, if we knew which file(s) it was, might be more elegant, but an uninstall should get rid of everything, Iā€™d have thought.

Still, worth checking.

18

Thanks again. Will try all these things. I have managed to to calibrate the throttle to all most your settings. Also changed the Sensitivty to be a straight line instead of a curve, so maybe this has helped as well. Better, but not as good as the PMDG 737 or the FBW A42NX, so will try the delete model again.

19

My Notch setting might have been a bit on the low side for the HOTAS X, as it wonā€™t allow as much of a manual range and you wonā€™t need so much axis between Notch and Ramp, so it would certainly stand a bit of an increase, maybe even to 10,000-11,000.

20

I have tried all your suggestions and although there is a slight improvement it is still not a smooth as the other aircraft throttles.
It will work better than before so at least that is a gain. Maybe there will be a new release that improves things.
Many thanks for all your help, advice and time spent looking at this for me.
