I’m sure that when the Hercules H-4 first came out , it mapped 2 engines to each throttle lever (HoneyComb Bravo). But now it won’t allow me to enable 4 levers (axis 1-4) to control all 8 engines. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Yes. Seems to be a known issue. I too have a HCB and wish there were better options for engine control.

Heh, just discovered this bug today too. Flew the H4 right after 40th anniversary came out and the HCB worked just fine to control all 8 engines. Now throttle 1 controls engines 1 and 2, and throttle 3 controls engines 3 and 4. Throttles 2 and 4 do nothing. Only way to control engines 5-8 is by …

Sadly a case of fixing something not broken. The original engine set up was appropriate for a the pilot on the day. Let’s hope we see more engine controls in 2024.

SPAD.next will allow you to control each engine of the Hercules individually. You can also add a script to FSUIPC for other aircraft like the Latecoere and the Dornier Do X.

Yes, very frustrating when you invest in good gear. On the bright side, it will fly on the four engines you have that work. Just looks ghetto for the money we spend on stuff.

As a side note, I think it’s possible to control it using a third-party tool such as MobiFlight, which can assign and process Input Events. One way to do this is to set and control the following Input Events. Input Events HH4_EThrottle_FE_Throttle_1 HH4_EThrottle_FE_Throttle_2 HH4_EThrottle_FE_…

Hercules, cant use 4 throttles for 8 engines
