How to set a throttle value from button press when using FSUIPC calibration

[Fabo.sk]

Hi,

if my understanding is correct, the functionality for buttons to "Select for FS Control" options "ThrottleN Set" with parameter does not work when "Direct to FSUIPC calibration" is used on an axis.

I would like to use buttons to control reverse range, while keeping the axis with no reverse.
Is it possible to send a value to throttle axis somehow? using Input Event or something? to enable this?

I don't understand the question - button and axes assignments are completely independent. Assigning an axis with "Direct to FSUIPC calibration" will have no effect in any button assignments.

Yes. The standard way to do this, but depends on the controller used, is to assign to throttle_dec (on repeat)  on the throttle button that indicates past idle (if you have such a button), then assign to throttle_cut in the release to kill the reverse thrust. Then when you are in idle and push the throttle down, the button is triggered and throttle_dec commands are sent which will move the aircraft into reverse, and when you move the throttle back it cuts back to idle.

I would prefer to send a specific value. Is that an option?

Yes - you can pass the value as a parameter to the axis control/event.
