Turtle Beach VF1 Flight Yoke - Reverse Thrust

Although I’ve had the VF1 for some months now, I have only just moved up to a plane that needs (or uses) reverse thrust and mixture cutoff - the Cessna C208B turboprop

However, despite being fully updated etc and working perfectly otherwise, I simply cannot get the reverse detents on the quad levers to recognise on any MSFS controls input.

Is there a secret to this (X-Box) or are they still ■■■■■?

On their Discord server they have an FAQ document that explains the steps for reversers. I have done this and it works for my on airliners and prop planes with reverse thrust. I can’t upload the document here. See if this link works for you:

Thanks but I have never figured anything out on Discord - its confusing, messy, non-intuitive, at least to me anyway :slight_smile:

I did get there from your link but it was blank, i clicked on the TB logo and got a load of stuff but looks like chat?

It would look like the attached picture, and the link to the PDF is seen all the way at the end.

I didn’t like Discord at first either. Confused how it was all setup. But… So many developers use it, I just kept at it and now it’s fine. Without it, I would be way behind the times on the FlyByWire A320, Turtle Beach, Headwind A330, Capt. Matto’s G36, all of the Working Title mods, the Salty 747… I could go on.

Give it a shot, you will be happy in the end that you did.

Thanks, i did find the link to the official FAQ, just printed off the page for “missing detents” and I’ll try it out tomorrow hopefully.

Got it working, at last :slight_smile:

Fully quit FS2020
Restart xbox and pull the VF1 USB out
load FS2020, wait
Plug in VF1 USB, wait
Controls - detents are there now :slight_smile:

It does this randomly from time to time. It started about halfway through SU8.

Well it worked, for one day.

Started up the next day and detents were missing again, they popped in mid-flight as they were there when I landed.

Today they were missing and never came back.

Pretty disappointing really.

It happens sometimes. Use this procedure, then in should work again.

Thats how i got it working first time.

Its a real pain if it needs that all the time as i only use quick-resume, takes so long to start up from full-quit.

:frowning:

Thats right! But in general, due to MSFS is so buggy I have the impression, as longer as MSFS is used without complete restart, as more problems occur. Therefore I restart the Sim (not the box) after few flights or after a flight longer then 60-90 minutes.
With this, Í’ve lost the Detent buttons only 2 times since this feature is available (since months) and I hadn’t the need for plug-out and plug-in. With these restarts till SU9 I could prevent the loss of to many flights at the log book. I think, this loss has also the reason in instable FS state after a sim duration longer then 60-90 minutes. With SU9 this duration becomes shorter. :rage:

By the way, this instability after several flights I’ve observed in former MSFS too. In the meantime it is an enforced coffee break for me. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

It is broken. I get it work sometime at startup after all the mentioned tricks and procedures. It never last for more than a couple of minutes.
