Saitek throttle quadrant reversers

I need a little help setting up the thrust reversers on my saitek throttle quadrant. As near as I can tell, FSX:SE triggers them if you hold down F2 and trigger the Rapidly Reduce Throttle command for a second or two. I've tried assigning that command to the reversers on my quadrant in the Sim's control configs, but the reversers don't open when I push the throttle levers all the way down. I looked at setting them up in SPAD, but I'm utterly lost.

What exactly did you assign to it?

sorry, the actual command in FSX is listed as "Throttle (decrease quickly)." I tried to assign it to button 8 (middle reverser) on my quadrant.

Hi CapHunt,

I Have this setup:-
--Button Press
----Send "THROTTE1_DECR-Event (Parameter Value: 16383)"

--Button Released
----Sent "THROTTLE1_CUT-Event (Parameter Value: 0)




<BaseEvent xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" BoundTo="QUADRANT_LEFT_REVERSE" xmlns="http://www.fsgs.com/SPAD">

that worked, thanks. That also answer's my next question, which was how to set each throttle up individually

GDay Mate - Need some help.

I have the CH throttle quadrant. I want to configure the middle two levers as throttle1 and throttle2 and if they move back past the detent activate the reverse thrusters, and then come out of reverse thrust when pushed forward into the detent position.

What is the best way to achieve that with spad.next?.

What is the behaviour function of the CH when you go into that location?? is it just Axis or is it a button? This will probably have an effect on the response.

It's an axis.

Have you tried the option for a Throttle with Reverser in the Standard Axis assignments?

No, is that in P3D ?. I am on V4.

Or is it an option in SPAD.next?.
