Configuring the JETS in the Bravo Throttle Quadrant | Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@stylesva3469]

Hi Mark, I've had my Bravo Throttle for a few weeks and finally got around to configuring it this weekend. Your configuration tutorials for the props and jets saved me hours of time and frustration. In addition to the specific set up it gave me a better understanding of MSFS configuration in general. Thanks so much for the assist.

[@SimHangerFS]

Happy simming 👍

[@DP-xz8xr]

Oh my god, this video (and the Prop one) is a god send. I have only very recently been able to download the MSFS now my broadband is out of the stone age, and have just taken delivery of my Alpha and Bravo, so been pouring over all your videos to get up to speed!! These guides you do are SOOOOO helpful and clear. thank you. (Ive brought you some coffee's via your link!)

[@SimHangerFS]

Thank you for your. Kind words and for supporting the channel, greatly appreciated 👍😀

[@Mr.Martini549]

Finally received my Honeycomb Bravo throttle after a very long wait. I will be very busy this week configuring the different options. Your videos are very helpful!

[@SimHangerFS]

Happy your finally received your bravo. Enjoy!

[@antoniopettini9503]

Does the brilliant configuration of A320 neo that you showed, work for Fly By Wire A32nx version?

[@SimHangerFS]

Not completely as the FBW uses some Lvars that are non-standard.

[@shapke]

Just like your video for the props…very well done, Thank you!

[@handsupbud]

Your video helped me greatly but I can not get the flaps configured for some reason. I set it the way you did but the flaps go to 25 degrees and that's it. Also, I do not have anything in the Decrease/increase flaps windows. Do I have to have them set like I see in your settings? I would also like to know how to set Flap increments 1,2,3 and 4 Thanks

[@joemendell9264]

Really like the videos…very clear and very useful. Question…you mentioned setting the switches on the bravo panel to cabin lights, panel lights, etc. You mentioned fuel pumps as one switch to set but I don’t know which element to bind it to. Please tell me which one you use.

[@TDiver-hy3st]

Mark - Great "How To" presentations!!! I have used many; and am especially grateful for those for the BTQ. An open question (that perhaps I have overlooked the answer); how can I "back up" my BTQ profiles? Is it possible? With the Nordic World Update install today, all my BTQ profiles somehow got "scrambled" and I'd like to prevent that from happening again after I rebuild all of them. Thanks!!!!!!!

[@peteallennh]

This was extremely useful. I am trying to figure out how to map the Bravo’s buttons. I want to map the engine master switches on the Fenix to buttons 1 & 2 on the Bravo. Does anyone know if this can be done either directly in MSFS or in SPAD.neXt?

[@jmuellerdrenkberg]

Please make also a tutorial about usefull switches at the Honeycomb bravo

[@SimHangerFS]

I cover this in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2GZqoNrnJ5jm7s

[@powerswitch135]

Hi Mark. I just got around to trying the setup for the A320 and it does not seem to work as you illustrate. On my system the decrease throttle (reverse) activates whenever the throttle is pulled all the way back no matter if the reverser lever is on or not. In the settings is displays as Button 11 + Button 27 (Throttle 1) but it appears to ignore the requirement for the combination of both switches. Is this a new bug or am I doing something wrong here.

[@007markymark007]

Thanks for all your videos Mark. Personally I disagree with the config for the A320. The thrust leavers look and operate more like the ones you get in the general aviation box, than the commercial leavers, which would be more suited to the ones you see in a boeing 747. In the A320 you don't have the small reverse thrust leavers on top of the main levers. You initiate reverse thrust by pulling the main throttle leavers down beyond the detent. You also have the red go around button on the A320 which you get on the general aviation levers.

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, I have now purchased the throttle pack - airbus for the bravo TQ from Honeycomb. The throttles do have a lever on them, as does the real world A320, although they are considerably smaller than the boeings. See here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF6zgat6grqtpbc

[@2684dennis]

im setting my honeycomb up , i used throttle axis, en spoiler axis, when my throttels are down, the spoiler lever works fine, but when i got my throttle al up, the spoiler lever moves up with the throttle levers, and the spoilers keep in down position, when i pul the lever to up position the spoilers keep going back in down position. do you have any idea what that is? kind regards.

[@SimHangerFS]

You have a config conflict. Search by input on both spoiler and throttle.

[@2684dennis]

@@SimHangerFS i found the issue, i looked on internet, and i ended up on a page from a real boeing airline plane where they showed and explained, when you on the ground or go into a go arround when you throttle up as a safety feature youre spoiler wil g up to into the down position. so i thought, what the hack lets try it, and indeed its correct, when you airbourn the spoiler lever works just fine. and when you on the ground, the lever move up to down position with the throttle if you open up.

[@ZL8103]

Hi Mark, such a great tip on setting up reverse throttle for A320 (two key combo approach). I have one question on speed brake. Is there anyway to set up the "arm" speed brake action in Bravo Throttle? Currently, the level only slides the speed brake up and down. Thanks!

[@SimHangerFS]

None that I have found unfortunately

[@dannysoogens]

Just received mine also, fantastic piece of kit. It has really took the experience to the next level. Thanks for the guide, it has helped me alot with setting it up. I am struggling to setup the autopilot configuration on the quadrant with a320neo. A few of the selectors don't seem to function. I have tried with a two engine prop and it works fine, following the instructions from your other video.

[@chrisibbotson6367]

Hi Mark, I am rather new to MSFS and extremely new to Airbus as I have always flown the PMDG 737 in Prepar3D. I have no problem setting up some GA and the Salty 747 but I am struggling with the throttles on the Fly by Wire A320. Perhaps it is different to the default A320 in terms of control assignments? Basically no matter what throttle option I chose, be it throttle axis 1 or the 0 - 100% option the thottles in the sim move right through the max thottle to max reverse when I move the Bravo levers from 0 - 100. Placing the Bravo lever at 0 results in full reverse. I have tried an edited copy of the 747 profile, I have also tried an editted copy of the default Bravo profile. It appears to work differently to your video. I appreciate your video was made over a year ago so perhaps the FBW aircraft or the sim has changed. I have a trial copy of FSUIPC (expires on the 10th) and assigning throttle 1 and 2 levers in it and deleting in the sim creates other issues, the full movement of the levers causes those in the sim to only move between the CL and TOGA positions. I cant make it move to the A/THR range, not sure what this means as Im so new to Airbus. UPDATE: I have just tested your config on the default A320 NEO and it works fine so the issue must be with the latest Fly By Wire version. UPDATE 2: After some fuller Googling I have discovered the FBW has an option in the EFB with regards to the reverser being on the same axis as the throttle. Disabling it fixes the problem

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, yes the FBW set up is different. You need to use the EFB to set. This model also uses some LVARS so certain functions can not be assigned by default. My config is for the default A320Neo. Glad you got it sorted 👍

[@mazdajaune]

Hi Mark, thanks for this useful video. Therefore I have something different from you with the reverse buttons. During the assignation, it won't reconize any of buttons 9 to 12. If I set them manually using the SELECT INPUT and go in the plane, pulling the reverse lever to down position won't activate the reveser until I push it back to up position. They seem inverted ? Very strange. Any idea ? Thanks a lot.

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes this is now how buttons work…move to register and bind….move to out of press to validate. Note start with the button not activated.

[@mazdajaune]

@@SimHangerFS Thanks a lot Mark. I really love all your videos. You are very informative.

[@pilotmax9512]

Hi Mark, I learned a lot from your videos. Great videos and very instructive. I was setting the Reverse for the Cessna Citation using the normal levers and pull the levers completely to activate the reverse. If I use the white knobs with the special reverse levers what do I use the switch on the bravo button 26 and 27 for? Originally I set this up same like the TBM 930. Anything I should be aware of or can be done both ways? Thank you. Would love to see a video from you on "how to" for Cessna Citation Longitude

[@kevykevTPA]

This works perfectly! Now, have you figured out how to map the beacon, nav, and taxi lights properly? Strobes and landing lights work great, but the other three are making me insane! (Well, that may actually be my wife, but those 3 light bindings aren't helping LOL...)

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, for some bindings, to map correctly you need to do the following.....switch in off position.....move it to on whilst scanning and then back to off before it registers correctly.

[@kevykevTPA]

@@SimHangerFS You lost me a little bit (but maybe that's just because I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch...) Can you expand on this explanation a bit? Thanks!

[@SimHangerFS]

@@kevykevTPA what problem configuring the beacon, nav lights are you having?

[@kevykevTPA]

@@SimHangerFS Here's what I mean. This works: (Switch 7, the far right) Landing Lights Off mapped to button 47. Landing Lights On mapped to button 46. When you flip the switch up, landing lights come on. When you go down, they turn off. THIS, however, does NOT work: Switch 6, second from the right) Taxi Lights Off mapped to button 45. Taxi Lights On mapped to button 44. When flipping the switch, nothing happens. Ditto for Nav and beacon, but landing and strobes work properly. Now, clearly something is broken, because when setup as above, it SHOULD work, but it doesn't. But I'm working if there's a workaround until Asobo (I guess it's them who needs to fix it?) gets it straightened out from a software perspective. I actually hope we're wasting electrons here, because I'm hoping Sim Update 3 will fix it (is that still due tomorrow? (March 2nd, 2021)), but I have no idea if that's on the list of fixed items...

[@SimHangerFS]

@@kevykevTPA from what you are describing my first guess would be you have something else configured to the desired action and it is preventing the switch from carrying out the correct action once configured. Check all other bindings AND default settings for the BTQ. is this configured already to another switch? If not then I would delete profiles and re-download the MSFS drivers from Honeycomb. I don’t have this problem. Hope you get it sorted. Regards

[@pilotmax9512]

Hi Mark, I have another question. When setting up the Cessna Citation Longitude the +/- know used to change altitude etc seems to move the speed of the auto throttle at the same time when I reduce the altitude and or I set a Vertical speed negative. Somehow when I use the minus knob both altitude and Auto throttle speed go down 1 number at the same time like I am using it for both. Is there a conflict or should this be configured differently?

[@SimHangerFS]

Sounds like a conflict. Check this in controls by searching via input. Once identified you can delete conflict. If not there then it is likely the activated default profile is corrupted. You will need to reinstall the MSFS config. Regards

Thanks Mark for this extremely useful video. Everything is now set on my A32NX (assuming it behaves the same way as the A320 NEO) in MS Flight Simulator 2020. (1) Am I alone facing the problem that throttle moves from idele to TOGA (full power) & back, but I am unable to stop it at CL position (which is required in normal flying mode)? (2) The only way I can get back to idle out of reverse is by (a) moving reverse levers back in position) + moving throttle to full power & back to idle. Is this normal?
