Good morning John, Unfortunately this, too, didn't work. It was worth giving it a shot, thanks a lot for all your help. Hans

Thanks a lot, John. I will give that a go tomorrow and report back to you, OK?

Thanks @Cuantreau but unfortunately this didn't work for me, either. I will wave the white flag and use buttons instead 🙂 Thanks a lot anyhow for trying to help out.

Yes, they both work (F1 and F2) and yes I could set them to the buttons of my joystick, but I just wanted to use my joystick's throttle to handle the 737's thrust (throttle in the middle=idle, throttle all the way forward=full thrust, throttle all the way back=full reverse). I guess I have to make do with thrust controlled by buttons 🙂 Thanks, John Later: Holding F2 depressed gives full reverse, F1 cuts the engine, so I can fly around with the PMDG 737s.

The "weird" thing is that "my" way of assignment/calibration does work great for MSFS' stock 747 and A320, but it really is a royal PITA in PMDG's 737-700. So I decided to live with the fact that when I use the PMDG 737 I will have to use the F2 key to get the reversers to work. Can you let me know what your throttle setup is in MSFS' control options for the joystick? I perhaps may have overlooked something. Thanks.

Let's just wait and see what happens then. I kept on trying to assign the throttle in the same way as I did under P3D/FSX as it worked perfectly there with the help of FSUIPC of course, till I found out this to be impossible in MSFS' 737. I now will use my joystick's throttle in such a way that I only can use thrust idle and up to max thrust forward. The reversers I will activate through the F2 key. When I will be using the 737 that is, I still do prefer the FBW A320Neo 🙂 . Thanks, John

I logged the events and axis. Only Throttle_Inc, Throttle_cut and Throttle_decr are being used via the cockpitUI. Reading the PMDG forum, there are a lot of folks having problems with their joysticks (different brands) to get reverse thrust (and forward thrust) to work correctly.

No, it is not strange 🙂 It was Pete who told me to do so lots of years ago. Yes, the issue is that I with this MSFS2020 version of PMDG 737 cannot use the throttle on my joystick at all. No problem, I will stick to the FBW A320Neo then. Thanks John PS: You may want to have a look at pages 31 and following of the FSUIPC User Manual. It is described there what I did to try and get my throttles to work

Hi John, I assigned the throttle in both MSFS and FSUIPC. I assigned (in FSUIPC) Throttle 1 set and Throttle 2 set and then I calibrated the throttles in option 3 of the calibration tab. (I did it the same way in P3D to avoid having to use buttons for reverse thrust). Calibrating in this option 3 of the calibration tab I selected the max input for full forward thrust, 0 for idle thrust and minimum input for reverse thrust. (See attached files). This worked perfectly in P3D.

Later: Got it working, I thought. I accidentally (??) did assign each engine to a throttle axis in MSFS2020, where I should have select Throttle Axis (with reverser) only in the control options of FS2020.Thought it worked, the throttles moved into the correct positions, but alas, this didn't activate the reversers in the plane itself.

Hi all, Hopefully someone can help me with my reverse thrust problem I have got in PMDG's 737-700. I have got a Thrustmaster T-flight Hotas X joystick and I am attempting to assign the throttle via FSUIPC. Just as I did a couple of years ago with PMDG's 737 for P3D. I did assign the joysticks throttle to Throttle 1 Set and Throttle 2 Set and calibrated this in option 3 of 11: Separate throttles per engine. I unchecked the "Exclude THROTTLEn_SET" checkbox just as I did way back in P3D for this aircraft. Now, however, in MSFS2020 this doesn't work for me. No reverse thrust at all and throttles are running full at the stick's idle position. I hope that I can find some help here. What did I overlook? Or what else should I do to get my joystick to work as desired? Thanks very much for any help, Hans van Wijhe

Hi John, The issue has been resolved. It appears that the experimental version of the A320Neo mod (CFBW) needs a throttle configuration .ini of its own. It can be generated as is stated in this here document: https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/tree/fbw/docs Thanks, Hans

I reported it to them. Will keep you updated on their reply, OK?

In MSFS2020 I solely use FBW's A320Neo. With their stable and latest dev mods my Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X works perfectly when I select and calibrate thrust reversers with FSUIPC7. (Assigned as Throttle 1 Set and Throttle 2 Set and calibrated in "3 of 11: Separate throttles per engine"). However, when I use FBW's CFBW (the experimental version of their A320Neo) I cannot get thrust reversers to work with my T-Flight Hotas X assigned and calibrated as stated above. Hopefully there is a workaround for this, unfortunately I didn't find it. Any hints/solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hans

Thanks a lot for your assistance, John. Have a nice weekend, take care and stay safe, Hans
