NOTICE : Altough there is a contact triggered when the lever is set into reverse, it is advised not to use it and instead set the reverse function from  
                 within the CRJ EFB.
                 It will allow for progressive reverser control, while the contact only allows for ON/OFF.

 

STEP 1 :
Calibrate the quadrant.
Calibrate it on all the course, including the reverse portion.

As the lever triggers a contact when entering the reverse portion, you need to keep any button pressed
during the calibration process to avoid the calibration utility to jump to the next axis.

For the standalone version, the levers are on axis X and Y.
Do not forget to leave them centered when required !

STEP 2: 
Assign the axis to the “THROTTLE AXIS” function in MSFS. No need to check the “Reverse axis” box

NOTICE : In some cases, it has been reported that the THROTTLE AXIS isn't recognized. In this case ONLY, try using THROTTLE 1 AXIS

IMPORTANT : Double check that no other axis or even axis from other devices isn’t assigned to any throttle function !

STEP 3 :
