Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Bravo throttle. I fly daily and have not noticed any change in functionality. MS Store, mid performance PC.

Today I tested with the Black Square Baron Pro and had no issues with any of the six engine controls.

Thanks all. I will continue to use it with X-Plane, and get a new one for MSFS2024

I know you are an experienced simmer, so this is an odd one. Have you tried creating another profile for this device? Could there be another mapping which interferes?

Yes I created another profile. My bravo is 6 years old and it did get repaired once about 4 years ago.

Thanks for the help!

Got my New Bravo today… Went back to 1.8.16.0 and I still have the same throttle issues!

Not sure what to do next.

Does Windows Game Controllers show the full 0–100% travel correctly on both throttle axes? If it does, that would help narrow this down to the MSFS profile or binding layer rather than the hardware itself.

Again this question. The complete chain has to be perfect. There is no way out, you have to check it.

Hi meh, I thought I would return to the forum to let you know that I had this problem too with MSFS 2024 and, yes, the Bravo works fine for me too in Xplane 12.

When I did the following the throttle, propeller and mixture levers (all 6) would not work at all:

  • Flight plan generated in simbrief and downloaded to a local folder
  • Pressed ‘free’ flight mode at the main UI
  • At the efb screen I downloaded the simbrief flight plan
  • I started the flight
  • The Bravo controls wouldn’t work

When I did the following the controls worked:

  • Generated Flight plan in Simbrief and downloaded it to local folder
  • Pressed ‘free’ flight mode in the main UI
  • Entered the departure airport in UI
  • I started the flight
  • Once in the cockpit I then downloaded the flight plan from the efb Simbrief app
  • The controls now worked

I’ve not had any problems since I did this.

For transparency I only bought FS24 a few days ago (used FS20 since launch) so I am very much a newbie with, for me, this new SIM. Still learning :smiley:

Not at my PC right now to actually confirm the actual steps I took but hopefully my memory serves me correct.

I think it is entirely possible also that your original Bravo is okay since like mine it works in XP.

Anyway, best of luck :+1:

After formatting and reloading Window11 from scratch and installing X-box app and fs my old joystick is working.

$300.00 for the new joystick

30 hrs of labor to t/s

3 hrs to reload OS and FS

So I’ve got a brand new Bravo or a used Bravo for sale. :slight_smile:
