Honeycomb Bravo Reverse Thrust / Beta on Turboprops

I’ve had my Bravo for about a month now and I love it. I’m primarily flying the C208 these days, and one of the things I’d like to get working is the Reverse Thrust or “Beta” range with the torque lever.

When I go into Controls, select my Bravo, change the filter to “all” and select “reverse,” this is what I get:

Bravo_Beta

I would think that it would be “Toggle Propeller Reverse Thrust,” but I’ve tried both that and “Toggle Throttle Reverse Thrust,” and neither work. (Nor do the “Hold” versions of either) Oh - Joystick button 25 is the torque lever with TOGA switch in slot 2 from the left, pushing down beyond the detent.

When I was using just my Logitech 3d Extreme Pro, I was able to map a button, and that switched the prop into Beta. No matter what I’ve tried with the Honeycomb Bravo, I can’t get it working.

I’m using the “BetterBravo Lights” instead of the Honeycomb driver, as the Honeycomb driver has to be started manually each time before I go into a flight, and I inevitably forget.

Set the key to “decrease throttle”. When you go beyond the detent, the throttle will decrease further into the reverse range

Hi Pieter! Thank you for the response. I just want to make sure I understand what you’re referring to - so Joystick Button 25, set that to “Decrease Throttle” instead of one of the “reverse” options?

@Pieter1982NL was totally right! Set your torque lever (below the detent) as ‘decrease throttle’ - then in the plane, just push the torque lever down below the detent and - BAM! Reverse thrust!

OMG, thank you! Works just as well on the Logitech quadrant.

Has anybody worked out how to have beta and reverse thrust working together on the throttle lever or any combination of levers.
Thanks
