Thank you, I will take a look at that and walk through the manual that usually is the last thing i read 
Thanks, helpful tip. There is still the issue that I cant move the throttles into the cut off position though without having to use the mouse, and the sensitivities will need to be set differently for the plane. Seems like they should just fix the aircraft to work properly like the stock planes given it’s 1/3rd the price the whole game was.
No throttle will automatically go to the cut-off position on the HJet, not just the TM. It’s because the cutoff spot does not have a numeric throttle value associated with it. And there’s a reason for that.
It’s because cut-off is CUT-OFF, as in fuel stops flowing to the engines. Say cut-off was at zero throttle. Well… you might (probably will) need to pull back to idle at some point in your descent, right? So you pull the throttles back… to JUUUUST before the very end. And you better be very precise about it, because a little further and you’ve just completely turned off the engines in the middle of your descent. Or maybe your elbow bumps the throttle, or the cat shows up and wants to mess with you (typical…), or the sensors in the throttle get a little flutter (it happens) and set themselves to zero for a fraction of a second. Boom, no engines.
Can you imagine the volume of complaints that would generate? “I was flying along and suddenly the engines stopped and I couldn’t apply thrust anymore. BROKEN PRODUCT RIPOFF” (etc.) Because not everyone will figure that out.
I believe the real aircraft has something that keeps you from going to cut-off accidentally (although I’m not sure whether there’s a mechanical catch or something, or just a serious amount of friction required to pull it back, or something else). The simplest way to achieve that in the sim is to just prevent the throttle from controlling that setting, and make you have to cut the engines off actively and with intent. And that’s why it is the way it is.

The LVAR for the throttle ranges from 0-100, with idle at 50 and full power at 100. 0 is cutoff. I was able to map this fairly straightforwardly with spad.next, using the Honeycomb Bravo throttle’s range to map into 50-100 and the button for the “reverse” area mapping to 0.
I did though have to set a second LVAR while changing each throttle’s value to get it to “keep” the value I set; internally this seems to be set when the throttles are grabbed and cleared when they’re released.
The full LVAR names are:
- HA420_THROTTLEPOS_L (0-100), HA420_THROTTLE_CLICKING_L (0-1)
- HA420_THROTTLEPOS_R (0-100), HA420_THROTTLE_CLICKING_R (0-1)

Just purchased this beauty a while ago and flew it for about thirty minutes.
Love it, worth every penny and more.
CSC seems to be the best speed control setting.
I was not able to pass 250+ knots around FL180 without an over speed warning.
However I no nothing about this aircraft.
I did notice a very low whine from the engines in the cockpit.
It’s definitely from the engines. It’s annoying and should be looked at.
I am disappointed about Navigraph being required to view charts, etc.
Out here in the virtual world of flying we are not rich.
There should be an option to view charts from a folder that can be maintained by the user.
I think being able to display .pdf files with charts, such as the way charts are shown at SkyVector, would be nice.

Does any third party plane offer this option? I agree it would be super useful. If I can download a chart from the public domain, it would be great if my EFB could display it.

The actual hondajet has a trigger to pull the throttles back to the cutoff position just like the thrustmaster throttle has. It’s a simulator no? It should function correctly for 1/3 the cost of the whole sim.

This is beyond my understanding of the game but I’ll have a research to make sense of it and give it a go! Thanks

with the G3000 renewal navigraph support will be dropped !
sorry to disappoint you.
there is no agreement between MS and navigraph so they cannot support.
How to put the thrust levers on cutoff position again?
Im playing on Series X btw
Have to pull them back with a mouse.
I don’t have a mouse or anything, I can’t turn off the engine.
Is there a way to turn off the engine when you land?
Right now, there isn’t a normal way to turn off the engines. Until it gets patched, I’m using the fire cutoff buttons.
Thanks. I’ll try! Any idea when the patch will come?
If you have an Xbox x as I do then you really will find a basic mouse very useful indeed ,it is so much easier to use than the controller ‘mouse’

There is a patch plan on discord channel of the dev. Can’t remember when but I think it’s in the list.
Use the mouse and drag the throttles back all the way.
Did work for me but takes a while.

Hello everybody, I bought the honda jet today but it keeps doing flips on runway when reaches 60 kt. it is uncontrollable. Flight commands are good, everything calibrated, it only happens with honda, no other plane pay or free that I have has a behaviour like this.
all assistance options are off
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance ; )
Modern flight model; not Legacy.
