Nick - Seria17hri11er 0 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Using FSUIPC I assigned throttle and reverse axis' to my joystick throttle. I then calibrated the joystick throttle for the last like 5 percent of the throttle to act as reverse axis. Went back to the plane to try it out and the throttle's in the aircraft will only move back to about 1/2 reverse. I thought that was weird, so I double checked my settings and re-calibrated the throttle and tried it again. It didn't work. Ok, I'll try assigning the entire motion of my joystick throttle to reverse just to see what happens. Did that, went back to the plane, and again the throttles will only move back about 1/2 into reverse. I pressed the F2 key to ensure that it indeed would go full reverse, and it did.This is rather weird, for I have got this to work perfectly with Captain Sim's C-130X using FSUIPC. You must use FSUIPC to assign a reverse axis, for there is no reverse axis in the FSX controls.Anyone have any idea what this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAL 0 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi Nick,I have a fix for this bug. I'll pm you and send you the files to test it out.Cheers,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrecht 9 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi Nick,have a look at this:http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=16472rgdsAlbrecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick - Seria17hri11er 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi Nick,have a look at this:http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=16472rgdsAlbrechtThanks for that post Albrecht. However, that is just using the throttle to virtually press a key, which will put the aircraft in full reverse, and not give you a true reverse axis.

albar965 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I just bought the CH Throttle Quadrant (from Aerosoft - hint, hint ) and have the same reverse problem. In the Otter it goes only to 20% reverse. Only when I press F2 it goes back to 60%. Other planes work fine and yes: It is calibrated.I do not want any button press solution as proposed by some above. This is not what I bought the throttle quadrant for.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albrecht 9 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Nick, Hi Alex,you are right, that is no full reverse simulation by the CH Throttle.But in the real life (of the simulator) you and I use the reverse for1) landing - always with full reverse power 2) push back - always with full reverse power First, I was also a little bit dissatisfied.But in normal use of the Twotter you need no sensitive reverse operation.So this solution with FSUPIC is ok for me.rgdsAlbrecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's a matter of preference, not a matter of necessity. You are right, we don't need sensitive reverse operation, but we would like it, and seeing that it works with other aircraft, we would like it to work with the Twotter as well.

albar965 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 A halfway viable solution is to change the min_throttle_limit in the GENERALENGINEDATA section in the aircraft.cfg:[GENERALENGINEDATA]...min_throttle_limit = -0.25Then throttle lever will move fully back then. You get more reverse power using the throttle quadrant - the aircraft can do a pushback just using reverse.But: You will not get as much reverse power as before - not even using F2.This all looks like a FS limitation to me.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you get more reverse power using the throttle quadrant. Then you say you will not get as much reverse power as before. This is quite contradictory, maybe you could explain a little better?

This is quite contradictory, maybe you could explain a little better?Sorry, will try to clarify:Before this change you could just hit F2 and get the full 60% reverse. But after this change F2 will be limited to 25%.If you do this change will get more reverse thrust when using the throttle quadrant - but less for the F2 key.Kinda hard to explain for a non native speaker. Just try it out and keep whatever value you like.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B. 40 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 This reverse thrust issue for the Twin Otter where the throttles would only go to -25% has now been fixed for the users of the registered version of FSUIPC, it was actually an issue of FSUIPC's making. There is an interim release available at http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=55488Enjoy.Only for registered users of FSUIPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
