i use that and have no problems just remember only to use the driver provided not the software.

I have it as well and it works well. The only issue I have is the thrust reversers don't like to always work. Not the fault of the throttles tho, it works fine on all other aircraft.

well how is your 1 set up as i uese the button presed when the throttle gets under idel you know the litel click if you asign that to the same as F2 you should have no problems. if that stil dosent work it might be that the throtle is having some problems regonise idel and there for it gives power again as input and that prevent the reverse.

By the way did you use the latest driver from saitek

I have the same issues with my Saitek Throttle Quadrant. The thrust reversers seem to respond only sporadic. No clue why this only happens with the Aerosoft Bus. All other aircrafts in fsx (standard and add-ons) work fine, when activating the thrust reverse.

Ís anybody else facing this issue? The throttle can't be the reason as I have changed it already and the problem still exists.

sounds wired i have that 1 and is set up that way no problems if you use only the driver not software. bu the way how is your set up as i only use 1 throttle to both engines

In fsx under controls menu Under calibration select the advanced and set throttle full to the right of the sencetivity and set Null zon full to the left. then under buttons/keys find the F2 key you say you used and set the slider full to the right. then it should repeat els there might be a problem

These are exatcly my settings - but the problem remains.

Any further ideas how to solve the issue? I wonder why only some of us are facing the problem with the thrust reverser function and the Saitek Throttle Quadrant.

well did you instal the driver only for saiteck as it is requred to work right ? mean some problem could happen if it isent instaled but dont instal the software only the driver

[Waleed 29]

May I suggest that when you use the F2 ( slow down engine thrust ) function for assignment, the repeat slider for that specific function (on the right of the screen once you assign the button) needs to go all the way to the right.

That is how I have it set up on my x52.

I hope this fixes it for you.

Good luck.

I have only the driver installed, NOT the additional software. The slider for repeating the signal "F2" is also all the way to the right.

And the crazy thing about this behaviour is that ALL my FSX standard jets and Add-on jets respond perfectly to the thrust reverse. I am quite conviced that the Aerosoft Airbus causes the problem. And I would really like to use my throttle quadrant as realistic as possible - not pushing the F2 button.

I have the same configuration than Jigedi as ... and F2 doesn't work on my Throttle only with Aerosoft Airbus X ...

For information it was working with Airbus 1.21 but not with 1.22 ...

I do have manually delete all those files and reinstall Airbus X but stile have the trouble ...

I dont understand why you keep having problems, as i use fsx settings only and works on vista and win7 whit the SAITEK Pro Flight Yokesystem. what other hardware do you use?

[KAPTEJNLN 237]

Ok i hope i have good news as i tryeid to do some things and sudenly my thrus reversers dident work properly then i set the original file back but still problem so here is what i want you to try as it was what i did to get it working again.

Because i was working whit an file there have nothing to do whit Airbus X it was the Standard.xml in controls and then i got an fault like you described it worked whit other planes but not the Airbus X.

1) Go into this location \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX by search RUN from the desktop then enter this %appdata% then you get to AppData then go into the other folders.

2) delt the 1 or 2 fsx.CFG files

3) enter the Controls map and delt the file inside (Standard.xml)

Try this first:

restart when fs is started go to setting and set the reverse button on the harware same as F2 key and start the flight see if it works if not restart fs and try again still nothing reand on, do the 3 steps again and continue:

4) Insert instalation disk and say repair when it ask.

5) Install sp1

6) remove sp2

7) Install sp2

8) Restart

9) Set as before: reverse button on the harware same as F2 key and start the flight see if it works if not restart fs and try again.

Then you hopefuly get it working. els im out of idears.
