[How to use the TCA Throttle with Aerosoft CRJ 550/700]

Hi, I have tried all of this but i am unable to use reverse on the controls page as it puts my numbers like this:

Max: -16384

TOGA: -15681

Climb: -13821

Idle: 0

Rev Max: 16384

 

If i take the reverse tick off the control settings it goes like this 

Max: 16384

Toga: 0

Climb: -13851

Idle:-15686

Rev Max: -16384

 

Has someone else having this issue?

I was able to solve this in my sim. I had the same figures and struggled with this for over an hour last night. The correct cofig is the latter with Max at 16384 and Rev Max at -16384. My detent numbers matched yours almost exactly (which means you calibrated your hardware correctly to fly the bus, so good job!). The issue here is that the Idle and RevMax detents overlap each other with the sensitivity buffer on the calibration tool (default buffer is 1000). Here’s what you need to do to fix it:

 

1. Set the Idle/Rev sensitivity buffer manually to 200. This is hard, you have to manually force it down past 500 in increments of 10.

2. Click ‘SET’ on the idle and rev max detents AFTER setting the sensitivity buffer at 200.

3. Click validate (should confirm no errors detected)

4. Save settings

 

Now the thrust levers should work correctly through their full range!

correct!

I know it is early yet, but any thoughts on range of models covered in the single A330 release? I’m specifically thinking of the -800/900 neo birds. Has the team studied differences and feasibility for including the neo variants in addition to the 200/300? Are all engine options in scope for the 200/300?

mmmm, we'll see,

An Aerosoft A220 would be an instant buy from me! I had a chance to fly several legs on the BCS1 prior to Covid and absolutely love that plane. Understood that it’s an Airbus in name only, but perhaps the Collins avionics/systems would have at least some synergies with the CRJ code base (here’s hoping!).

 

That said, very excited about the A320/A330 family as well! I’ll be eagerly keeping an eye on this preview forum.
