Reverse Thrust w/Saitek Throttle

[snp227]

Using FSUIPC6. I know there are multiple threads on this, as well as YouTube videos, but I am still having issues.

I have separate throttles mapped (2 of them) in FSUIPC, using 'Send Direct...' They are configured as Throttle 1 and Throttle 2. As this quadrant has a detente/button, I have assigned those buttons on the right side of FSUIPC. The assigments are 'Throttle x Decr' [when the range is entered], with 'Control to repeat whilst in range' checked, and 'Throttle x Cut' [when the range is exited]. Reverse works, but what I am seeing is that I get reverse thrust prior to reaching the detente. This is limiting my throttle range significantly.

I am attaching a screenshot or two, as a picture is worth 1,000 words. From reading the manual - it looked to me like I would be using 'ThrottlenSet' but based on the videos I watched I went with the newer convention.

This is because you calibrated with a Reverse Zone! Please see that checkbox (which you forgot to check) labelled "No reverse zone". It is in your picture,  top left.

Check that, then recalibrate.

This is covered in the Calibration explanations in the User Guide.
