I’m at a loss with some of the stuff. I’ve bought the red arrows plane and added freeware a350 neo off flightsim.to - I have the Saitek x52 and the throttle quadrant just doesn’t work with either of them.
On the red arrows if I push the throttle forward with the mouse and flip to quadrant it just rolls the engine to idle. On the a350 if I push the quadrant forwards it puts engine 2 up but rolls engine 1 to idle. Even puts it in reverse if I’m on the ground. I’ve mapped the quadrant to control engine axis, engine 2 axis and engine 3 and 4 axis. Doesn’t change a ■■■■ thing. There’s probably more planes out there I will have issues with.
Apologies yes a330 and the red arrows is hawk T1. All okay with default aircrafts. I’ve noticed with my paid 777-200 the autopilot doesn’t engage either. Seems like another issue.
But other planes I’ve bought such as 737 max and can’t remember it’s name. They work fine with the hotas.
The A330 gets its throttle calibration from the FBW A320.
You do need to have that installed to get proper throttle operation for the A330
On single engine 3rd party aircraft, in most cases, you do need, as mentioned, to remap your controller to Throttle 1, not just throttle.
That often presents another issue, as the default single engine aircraft seem to prefer the “throttle” command, so often a separate profile is required.
There is no throttle calibration or settings in the EFB related to throttle. It’s an old version of the EFB tied to the old 0.6.x FBW Stable release used for this plane.
I tested the throttle positions with my throttle quadrant and the positions do not match the calibrated settings I have on the FBW A320.
So I’m not sure where the A330 gets its throttle positions from. I’m guessing it’s just a hard-coded set of the values from the throttle control axis position.
Side note, not having detent hysteresis available in the A330 setup makes it a pain to get throttles in the CLB position after take off.
