PeterZ KCLE EDDN 6 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi there, I've been searching and trying many tips here to get my goflight throttle to work with the Airbus to no avail. I have the latest v1.22 installed. I'm trying to see if there are any other tips I could try and would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'd really love to fly this Bus, the visuals are stunning but so far I haven't been able to get it of the ground. I have assigned all axis via FSUIPC, not through FSX and while I now get the throttles to respond, they idle at around 40% N1, which makes for a nice adventure taxiing. I also haven't been able to assign reverse thrust through FSUIPC for my GF-TQ6, this was simply a no-go, nothing happend. I'm really desperate to get this going as I really like this bus.

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hello Pete, Have you tried setting up the axis via the Aerosoft Launcher Joystick Config Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterZ KCLE EDDN 6 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for your help Shaun, I did use the config tool and it appears my axis are detected properly. The only two problems I have are: 1) "high" idle N1 at around 41% (I'm not sure this is normal for an Airbus, but please correct me if I'm wrong) 2) I can't activate reverse thrust (neither F2 nor a button assignment appears to work). If I press and hold F2 it appears it wants to activate reverse thrust for a second and then throttle back to idle immediately. This happens continuously, it's like it's throttling very quickly and repeatedly from reverse back to idle, but never to a full reverse. I'm sorry, I don't know how else to explan it ;-) I have a feeling the two issues are related and maybe the Bus won't let me activate reverse thrust because my idle N1 is to high, but I'm not sure. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hello Pete, The only reason why it would try to go back to idle if using reverse is because you have a conflicting axis, if you have rudder pedals connected try disconnecting them and then try the reverse.

PeterZ KCLE EDDN 6 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 EDITED FOR UPDATE: Thanks Shaun. Tried it, but unfortunately with the same results. I just completely uninstalled the Bus, reinstalled it and now my reverse thrust works, as well as spoilers and flaps (all assigned via FSUIPC). Throttle is now correctly at idle, BUT throttle levers don't move at all. BTW, I'm starting FSX with the default Cessna 172. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Pete Have you assigned the throttle via the FSX default assignemnet for the axis. If the throttle doesn't wotk after that then you have another controller using the same axis so when you try to move it the other one centers it back to idle immediately.

PeterZ KCLE EDDN 6 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey Shaun, I tried so many things but eventually started to study LUA. LUA is new to me (recent fs9 convert) but worked like a charm with the Bus. Thanks for your help Shaun. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPTEJNLN 237 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Its because as far as i remember Goflight device GF-TQ6 dosent work like other devices where you can assign whit the default options in FSX as it uses the GF driver to assigne i also had some problems but whit FSUIPC it works as i also remember. (its like whit the ELITE device or any other device where they use driver to even run the device as far as i remember the GF device also cant be assigned from windows (cant say 100% but i mean it isent on the list)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
