Hey there, could you come back to this video, I am not sure what has changed, but when I lift my reverse levers on the HC Bravo, the throttles don't move into reverse idle. I need to moves the throttles before in game it moves to idle, it will snap to full reverse when my controls are all the way back, and then gradually move through the reverse zone as long as the levers are lifted.

[@marksgaragethings]

Great tutorial! I’ve been struggling to figure it out on my own then found your channel. New subscriber here. An addition to my config that I did was for arming and disarming the spoiler. I used the switch closest to the spoiler lever. Using the same method you described for the landing gear on the B737, I used “on release” to arm the spoiler when the switch is down. “on release” to disarm the spoiler when the switch is up. This works perfectly to arm and to be able to set the speed brake.

It sets to press by default. 👍

[@blacknass1943]

you can set the flaps Full on the revers axis and set to releas Flaps 3 and you can use the hole axis :)

The reverse axis is actually just a button press. You can set almost anything to a button press.

[@hotelpilot3112]

Thanks Mark, your videos are very helpful. Appreciate it very much!

[@Mr_Realworld]

Way old post I realize, but it seems sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm sure this could be the result of all of the updates since the original video. Lifting the reverser levers and pulling back the throttle handles works about 50% of the time, sometimes there is a 10-15 second delay or it fails altogether but lifting the reverser levers and pushing forward works 100% of the time, though totally unrealistic. Anyone aware of a fix?

[@berndschwarz5163]

Hi Mark, very informative tutorial. You helped me a lot. now the Fenix is working with my honeyway throttle. But there is another problem. I tried to configure my throttle in connection with the FBW a320neo aircraft. The procedure of configuration is different in comparison to the Fenix aircraft. it's not working. Maybe you have an idea? cheers Bernd

[@SimHangerFS]

The FBW aircraft uses bespoke calls (local variables). You would need something like Spadnext to configure.

[@gettodachoppergaming8644]

Nice tutorial, but when i configure the flaps lever, it does not react in the sim. i made the flaps axis and in the fmc but it does not do anything in the virtual cockpit.

[@andrewburrell4695]

Hello, I really find your tutorials and reviews very helpful and easy to understand. I am having problems with the operation of the trim wheel in the Fenix, whereas the FBW has not problem with the same button settings. I have the Fenix configured as described in your tutorial using the Airbus levers. Button 23/22 are assigned and are not assigned to anything else. The trim wheel does not react to the input from the quadrant nor does it allow movement in sim with the mouse. I have been working with Fenix on this and as yet no solution. I have a demo of my issue and if you have time I can send you the video link. Note I had not removed the increase decrease assignment to the increase/decrease lever at the time of the video and a recalibration within the MCDU now has the throttle moving on the axis with the main throttle. Any suggestions would be most helpful for this senior. 🙂

[@SimHangerFS]

The trim wheel in the aircraft will not react if the autopilot is activated. Make sure pilot assist functions are not active. The bravo trim wheel is not the best, you need to rotate it slowly. I don’t have your issue so if the afore going doesn’t do it, you must have something conflicting with the trim actions.

[@gibboireland]

Really helpful and appreciated, thanks!

[@GilbertoNovaes3]

Amazing video. Without you it would be impossible to figure out. I have only one thing not working properly. The reverses sometimes works sometimes doesn`t. I followed all the steps. However, upon pulling the reverse lever up and moving the throttles to Detent, the levers go up but the throttles don`t come to Detent Position. Sometimes it does, sometimes doesn`t. Do you know what can I do? Thank you so much Mark. You are amazing. Your way to explain is clear and accurate.

Im am having a nightmare setting up Fenix with the bravo (or any other throttle controller for that matter. ). I’ve watched tons of yt videos and blogs and yet cant seem to fix my issues. Im am well aware of not having the throttle 0-100% setting but the Throttle 1 axis set up and then having to calibrate them in the fmc. Also, made sure no other throttle assignments have been made to those axis’. Ive managed to set up my PMDG without any issues. Frankly i feel its a shitty job on Fenix’ end. I wish they would get their shit together and fix whatever the hell is going on with their throttle set up.
