    Airbus Throttle Gates

    Hi,

    At this stage in my simulator setup, I am trying to get my throttle lever (Saitek X52) interfaced with PM in such way that it will recognize the Airbus Throttle gates.

    Any idea on how this is to be done? I mean, to be able to tell PM what Gate you want to set from the joystick (I normally changed the gate in the MCDU until now) you must send some kind of command from FSUIPC (via an offset) or is this done directly interfacing the hardware to PM and then PM sends the signal to FSUIPC/FS? (I believe that this last option should be the way to go, but I don't know how to do it).

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Luis

    This is done through the FCU. Unfortunately I do not have mine set up right now to give explicit detail. I'm sure someone will help

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. I've managed to do it through FSUIPC. Can it be done through the FCU? How?

    Thanks!

    Hi again,

    The setup of the throttle gates via FSUIPC seems not to work properly...

    How are the gates setup to mathc different positions with the FCU?

    Thanks!
