Hello,
when flying the CL-415, the setup of the throttle, propeller and condition lever work pretty different from what we are used to in other planes.
Most planes have seperate levers for throttle, propeller and condition lever or they have one integrated lever or miss the propeller lever, due to the propeller setup.
But this plane has something different:
- throttle works differently, has the normal throttle axis, does not reflect the full motion of the real throttle handle
- propeller is an integrated propeller-condition-lever. I have not found a way to configure this in the controls, to reflect this, for example on the honeycomb.
Is there a way to do so? Or is this a feature missing, to be able to mimik the real plane on your throttle quadrant.
I have a Bravo also and I’ve found no way to configure the levers the same way that works in the CL-415. Only the Propeller levers can be mapped, not the condition levers.
And they can only be mapped from Min to Max, as far as I have seen. I’ve not been able to map any Bravo button or keyboard key to the Feather and Cut Off positions of the levers.
Actually I’m doing this operation with a script using AAO and Stream Deck, but probably you’re looking for a solution using the Bravo, I would like that so, but I’ve found no solution.
With the Bravo I’ve got another problem: I cannot move the levers to the reverse position of the CL-415. In other planes this is possible, for instance in the ATR. You can use buttons that are activated past the bottom detent of the levers to move the throttle down to Rev position. But this not works in the CL-415. If you use this technique, the throttle lever passes from Flight Idle to Ground Idle, not to Reverse.

explains how to move the propeller levers to the feather position. I’ve tested it and it works in the CL-415. Maybe with some luck we’ll find another guy that has found out how to move them to the cutoff position.
