How to manage thrust by keyboard or gamepad


squashplayer

Recommended Posts

I know a throttle axis is required, but as I love flying by keyboard, I would like to know if there is a workaround?

 

1. Is it possible to set thrust by keyboard F2/F3 without the strange behaviour that F2 and F3 both increase thrust when > ~50% thrust?

 

2. Is it possible to set thrust by gamepad buttons (not axis!)?

 

Thanks

P.S. I found one solution which works for me:

 

- during Cruise, I adjust the thrust levers manually with my mouse

- during Approach, I do one of the following:

       1. adjust thrust levers with mouse (like in Cruise)

       2. press F1 (=idle) and then press F3 3 or 4 times which sets thrust to about 40%, maybe 5 times. This gives me a good thrust for the final approach

Use the throttle calibration button in the EFB and both keyboard and gamepad should work fine, at least they do for me! A and B button should be default for throttle.
