I battled with this above post and don’t know how to delete the pics so here is the text that was supposed to go with the pics and one extra pic:

Today I was cleared for taxi by live atc at King Shaka airport with a fully set up A320nx development mod.
At the first taxiway entry a plane blocked my way and did not move away. After a while i used reverse thrust to give the plane space to pass but the pilot did not. Eventually i turned and proceeded down the apron to the next taxi way entry and after contacting ATC i got no answer. I then saw that all the instruments in the cockpit were lit up green and all the setup info was replaced by a fig 8. See pics
I had to abort because i could not fix it. At the time i also had the MCDU on a seperate tablet. the only info that remained was on the MCDU.

Could using reverse thrust have caused this or is there a bug where this sometimes happens. This has not happened before and this was my second attempt trying live ATC ever

Some throttles, the TM Warthog for example, have hidden buttons that are activated when the levers are pulled fully back.

If you have mapped the levers so that you need to pull them back to effectively activate a reverse axis, it might be worth checking what those buttons might have been mapped to.

Moved to #third-party-addon-discussion:aircraft as FBW Development model is mentioned. #self-service:instruments is for stock aircraft only. Thanks.

This is the Annunciator Light Test Mode. At the very beginning it happened to me as well.
You can find it left of the right Wipper Switch, second row first switch.
There is your Testmode. It seems on your screenshot, that the switch is set to BRT, but maybe it’s because of the Screenshot angle. Take a look on that switch and try it out.

Hi Sunday. you are absolutely right. I realized this morning that i had flipped this switch by accident.
There is a chance (as per HawkMoth9135) that a lever or switch is mapped to the switch that i dont know of. Still need to check this out. Thanks for the replies despite my hashed post

Don’t think so. Not quite sure, but I guess you won’t find any sim binding for that switch, except you made it via Mobifllight intentionally.
However, missing link found ready for departure now. :blush:
