Picked up a Logitech Throttle Quadrant while waiting for my Honeycomb Bravo. I cannot figure out how the heck to get the negative throttle (red lines below zero) to enable speed braking/reverse thrust. I have tried setting it to toggle reverse thrust and hold reverse thrust but it NEVER engages reverse thrust. When I have throttle decrease mapped to a button on the yoke and hold it down upon touchdown I see it engages the speed brake on a 747, yet nothing I set engages it on the Quadrant. Getting pretty annoyed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
map the “buttons” to Decrease Throttle for each engine. Then just pull bak into the detents for full reverse.
Snap!. You need to assign the switch to “Reduce Throttle” or something like that then the reversers will engage.
The correct mapping is “Decrease Throttle.” I just picked up the Quadrant myself the other day but that is the correct mapping. I have it set to Button 17 on my TCA Flight Stick. It worked so when I dropped through the bottom of the built-in throttle slider, I would pass the detent while pressing the trigger (set to brakes) for minimum stopping distance.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! That did it. And thanks to the rest of you that also replied! Such a simple solution but I totally overlooked it. Worked like a charm. Thanks again duders
