How To setup the Bravo throttle quadrant to operate
the FSS E-170/175 throttles and reversers

The reversers of the E-170/175 are part of the course of the throttle levers.
They can’t be triggered by an input such as THROTTLE x DECREASE.

They need to be assigned to a part of the course of the hardware quadrant
used such as the TCA. This happens via the E-170/175 EFB settings.

When the reversers are an ON/OFF contact only triggered by a detent
at the bottom of the throttle levers, this isn’t possible.
à For instance the Bravo throttle quadrant.

There is however a workaround allowing to use the Bravo and still operate the reversers.

The trick is to assign the detent contacts at the bottom of the throttle levers
to the TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST function.

à You can either assign one of them or both.
     Assigning one of them only has proven to be more stable tough.
 

1 – Assign the throttle levers to THROTTLE 1 AXIS and  THROTTLE 2 AXIS

2 – Asssign the detent(s) to the TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST function

So to engage the reversers, you need to cycle the detents ON and OFF.
Then the normal throttle portion of the levers allows to “modulate” the reversers action.
To release the reversers, simply cycle the detent ON and OFF again.

Make sure that the “REV ON AXIS” parameter in the EFB Calibration settings

is NOT lit (ON).
1 – Use the DEFAULT profile
2 – Make sure the REV ON AXIS button is OFF (black inner background)

It is very bad, it is not natural maneuvring the throttles behave like that! All other aircrafts we could buy on thrird party have a way to set up the throttle propely, it is a bad patch, FSS should fix this very soon, it is not science rocket to do this! lot of smaller developper did it to get throttles work normaly!!!!

You don't understand. It is working very well.
 

The Bravo throttles don't have an analog portion below idle.
Just a notch and a input contact.
This is the best way to use the bravo along with the FSS.
