FS2020 - How to Toggle Reverse Thrust on Logitech Throttle Quadrant

[@djtaylorutube]

What's really annoying is that the throttle quadrant itself does 100% support reverse thrust below the detent on the axis but Saitek broke this and implemented a soft switch instead. Because I have an investment in Saitek stuff and had built a panel around it, i've recently changed to a Honeycomb yoke while keeping the rest. This raised an issue that one of my throttle quadrants is the one with the PS2 connector that goes into the Saitek yoke. Rather than discard this, I opted to rewire it to work via a Leo Bodnar joystick board and I completely forgot about the 3 switches below the detent but in calibration noticed that the "zero" position at the detent is part way into the potentiometer axis already. I pushed the lever down and lo and behold, a complete axis! Saitek/Logitech implemented the "switch" entirely in the control board and it's far better without it now and I have a variable reverse thrust axis. My axes are now implemented in Spad.next as "Throttle WITH reverse thrust". Very happy with my modification and the "reverse" switch if desired can be implemented in Spad.next as a conditional event.

[@Huddison]

Wonderful David & a useful guide for others.

[@BackcountrySTOL]

Hi ya everyone. This is all aircraft capable of reverse thrust and applies to Saitek throttle quad. There is a way to get the engines to go full reverse without having to toggle reverse and then pushing the throttle forward again. This is a method that is all done in the sim control options. Set the switch at the very bottom of throttle travel on the Saitek throttle quad throttle lever to hold reverse thrust. This will keep reverse engaged as long as the lever is all the way down on the switch. Next assign decrease throttle to the same switch at the bottom of throttle lever travel (yes you can assign two actions to one switch). When the switch is engaged by the throttle lever reverse activates and stays activated and at the same time the decrease throttle will spool up the engines which are in reverse. Push the throttle lever forward and the reverse disengages. Ole school reverse, pull the throttle down and leave it there until you have slowed to taxi speed. Hope this helps someone.

Just now seeing this video a year later, I recently bought a T. Flight Stick X from Thrustmaster! Well, it has the throttle built into the flight stick, and as an avid a320 and 737 flyer, I needed to figure out how to get reverse thrust for those awesome landings!! thanks again, dude!

[@Huddison]

[@johnfeet5476]

Exactly, and I mean exactly, what I was looking for! Thank you. I had a button set up for reverse thrust on my x52 throttle but during a landing sometimes the button would not take and I would end up in major forward thrust perfectly ruining an otherwise good landing. So I bought the quadrant an was trying to figure out how to use revers thrust on the black lever. I intuitively put it all the way down expecting it to work, but no. So the secret is to put it all the way down momentarily as a toggle then go forward. Again, thank you very much.

Better way: POWER MANAGEMENT/ THROTTLE/ THROTTLE 1 AXIS - JOYSTICK BUTTON 7 THROTTLE 2 AXIS - JOYSTICK BUTTON 7 THROTTLE 3 AXIS - JOYSTICK BUTTON 7 THROTTLE 4 AXIS - JOYSTICK BUTTON 7 HOLD THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST - JOYSTICK BUTTON 7 Acts funny in setup but works perfectly in sim.

Great tip!

[@DinoDarinoMischtdentorf]

Dude, you're a genius. But unfortunately when switching from Reverse to 0 it is often set to A/THR in the A320. I don't know if it is my Logitec Quadrant (I also have another quality problem on the buttons already), or if it is the Flight Simulator or maybe the setting here... But for the landing only this works fine.

[@BostonClipper]

@@DinoDarinoMischtdentorf sometimes going to the zero detent is not perfect. I have found when ending reverse it is better to advance slightly ahead of 0 detent, then quickly back to the 0 detent. Do not know if this could help you.

Hi! Late to the party...typical. The old reverse on FSX is F2. Still is in MSFS. Assign throttle quadrant detent to "Decrease throttle" and it works a charm:-)

[@chrisjohnson6876]

I find it much easier to just assign a button on the throttle to hold rev thrust until you let it go myself, that way you are not left wondering what mode you are in. My throttle does not have a detent, sadly, so have to do it this way, but it works, LoL

Hello I use the DHC-4 Caribou. I followed your approach and it worked very well.

Just assign z to decrease thrust command. Not toggle. The problem with toggle is that you need to hit the key but if you don't pay attention reverse wont apply. After that you just push all the way down to z and reverse will apply to the 25%. Remember Decrease Throttle with the letter z.

[@rontopimpanation8184]

It's counter intuitive to push the throttle forward while trying to stop. I like the old flight sim where toggling it meant reverse thrust + full power. FS2020 never quite got it together.

[@lennylion-x6g]

Please help... I have the same yoke and throttle quadrant. They worked perfectly in FSX. Now in fs 2020 my throttle won’t work although the yoke does. There is power to the quadrant as there is the green light on.

At my wits end with this now....any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

SU5 just killed my throttle axis I now have forward and reverse throttle on the same axis split in half.... if I put my axis down it immediately controls the reverse thrust and if I push it forward it controls the normal thrust.....

I was having similar problem setting mine up…I noticed that if you are using the FlyByWire A320 you need to open the FlyPad to right of pilot then go to Settings and Calibrate the Detents…by default, reverse full is calibrated into the range of the throttle (comes on at about 25%)…I had to put the lever at 0% and select that I want it to be idle when there (no reverse thrust)…you then need to Save & Apply…then you can set the lever down (button 7) on the Throttle Quadrant as Decrease Throttle…works for me now 😉

greetoz I actually ended up turning the actual quadrant itself upside down. I took the clamp off the back and inverted the clamp so it’s upside down from how I had it before, but now the simulator recognizes my hand going forward as adding power.

[@greetoz]

@@colbyjamesreynolds1516 I found out the indication in FS2020 is not correct under the settings. But the actual throttle does work. I just have it set WITHOUT the reverse axis checkbox and the throttle acts normally. The indication under settings is just wrong.

Hi Huddison, after a few hiccups I managed to install the PMDG-737. Of course I had some of your tutorials on my second screen but there' s one function that behaves strange. I want to use the Left lever of the Throttle quadrant to toggle the Speedbrake, that worked. I like the middle one to act as thrust (both engines). But as soon as I push this lever beyond 80% my right lever kicks in the reverse thrust (full). I checked if I had assigned a key to this (reverse) function but there doesn't seem to be any assignment connected to the right lever. Do you have any idea' s or suggestions? Thanks in advance ;-)

[@Huddison]

Did you assign your throttles as 'Throttle Axis'; not throttle 1,2 etc?

[@eds5709]

@@Huddison Solved (thanks). I had chosen "Throttle AXIS 1 (0 TO 100%)" in stead of "Throttle 1 AXIS". I also assigned the Third lever (Down) to toggle / activate "Reverse thrust" using my middle thrust lever. Anyway, we're getting there ;-)

[@Huddison]

Great to hear Ed ;)

[@alpharomeo9443]

thanks for the video. is it possible to set it normaly as it has to be like fsx? i mean, only with pulling the throttle lever down below the idle position

[@Huddison]

I don't believe so yet, but give it time - it's bound to be an option soon.

[@JuanSMS.]

Reverse works better if you put your input in “Decrease throttle”.

[@AClRCLEOFLlGHT]

If there's an in-game settings option to turn toggle off, then it should just engage full reverse thrust when you click it down, then back to neutral when you click it back up. If reverse only has toggle option, then set the Z to decrease thrust control, and it should drop thrust to neutral and continue into reverse.

[@kevinwaters1810]

Hi Huddison, thanks for the great video . I have applied the toggle setting exactly as per your explanation, I am also using the same Quadrant that you have but when I toggle it for reverse thrust the aircraft still doesnt go into reverse. Is this setting limited to certain air craft or what i am doing wrong

[@Huddison]

See a video I released a few weeks ago for a work-around. Can't link it as I'm at work, but reverse thrust is in its title.

[@locosk8er]

same did you ever find a fix?

[@austinh7142]

Do you have Star Wars squadrons, If so will the throttle work with that game?

[@Huddison]

I do but on PSVR - may buy it for PCVR one day

[@yosmch]

Can you also set idle reverse?

[@Huddison]

Possibly, not really looked into that one.

[@Koolkole27]

It toggles rvereser then when i move it forward to reverese it disengages?!!!

[@Huddison]

Hold reverse it a better way - I'll aim to revisit/update this video.

[@mathisr.44]

When I do that it constantly switches between regular thrust and reverse thrust on its own. I can't control it.

[@Huddison]

Toggle it once for reverse and the throttle acts as a reverse thrust when you increase it; toggle it again for ordinary thrust.

[@anonimus846]

you always save my life

[@Huddison]

Good to know 😉

[@plane_spotter_italy]

Sorry but shouldn’t it be that when you pull it down you should leave it down and it should go max thrust reverse and when you pull it back up should go forward with the engines?

[@Huddison]

No in this case, it 'toggles' reverse thrust mode; so the engine power will effect that level of reverse thrust. 'Hold reverse thrust ' is actually the best (& safest) way to deploy it.

[@plane_spotter_italy]

@@Huddison o ok thanks very much!

[@detersion5269]

When i try flying the captain sim 777 the throttle either starts going back and forth and if i bind it using Z it doesn’t activate at all. anyone know a fix?

[@Huddison]

Re the Z assignment - see the appropriate part of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZPJoXp9hsZ0qc0

[@harrinsson44]

How can you turn to right and left on the ground ( not in the air) with that flight yoke system?

[@Huddison]

If you don't have rudder connected, the yoke will steer your plane on the ground.

[@ShotInTheDark]

Cheers, I was thinking about ordering a set of these, there are like rocking horse poop right now though. Did you review them?

[@Huddison]

Yes check through my 'Flight Sim' playlist, you should find a review in there😉

[@DinLokaleJonas]

Why does it have 3 thr thingys

[@jamesfairhurst8525]

Thank you for this.

[@Huddison]

You're most welcome.

[@TheGbelcher]

I don’t like the toggle option for reverse thrust. You’re only asking for problems. If it doesn’t toggle correctly the first time or for some reason it toggles twice, you could be full at thrust with breaks on and not much runway left. Not good.

[@Huddison]

That's a good point. I been experimenting with 'Hold' reverse thrust and it's a little more definitive.

[@TheGbelcher]

@@Huddison That’s a good idea. Might try that!

[@samuelaponte7746]

Just assign z to decrease thrust command. Not toggle. The problem with toggle is that you need to hit the key but if you don't pay attention reverse wont apply. After that you just push all the way down to z and reverse will apply to the 25%. Remember Decrease Throttle with the letter z.

[@airborneyyc]

Yes, I set my toggle reverse thrust option to one of the rocker switches beneath the throttle. If you hit the wrong one by mistake and thus do not toggle reverse thrust, and then go to full forward power instead, it goes very poorly, I assure you.

[@TheGbelcher]

@@airborneyyc Same here. But can’t find a better way.

[@raphaelarmandovalor6586]

someone knows how to do the feather on the prop lever?

[@chittychad18]

All microsoft had to do was add a axis to thrust reversers. Breaks immersion for me.

[@Huddison]

Yes that would've been ideal.

Thx!

you was setting z on the yoke ;)

[@michaelimperato]

The quadrant is plugged into the yoke and is treated as the same controller.

[@markomare9081]

When i assigned Z, not working😖

[@lilbigmac8894]

It just didn’t work for me ;(

Try setting a button for toggle reverse thrust - watch this:kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4XQpWifasydn68

Ok so Julian talked me into it. Here is a video on how to get full reverse thrust with Saitek while remaining in detent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5erZKFqfcR_j6M

So Realistic, push a button to activate Reverse, I dont know who was the smart pants who advisored Microsoft to do that, they said they were advisored by real pilots, Yeah Sure!!! hahahahahaha
