Is the TCA Airbus edition Compatible with Flightgear ?

[Mohamed]

ok thank you

[Mohamed]

what's the value for reverse thrust ?

thx in advance

[Johan G]

Was not aware that full thrust reverse was behind the idle on an airbus.

[Mohamed]

i asked cuz i tried and it didn't work i am dumb but not that stupid

and also Lego said that idle is less than 0.01 so that includes negative numbers if i know my maths

thx anyways

Hi I'm afraid I can't answer that, as the reverser doesn't use that throttle-scale, I have asked octal450 to comment here.

[Mohamed]

ok thx

[jetsurfer]

What about the Engine Mode Selector and the Master Switches?

[Mohamed]

i found the code do you want it ?

[jetsurfer]

Yes please!

[Mohamed]

ok so go to C:\Users\"name"\AppData\Roaming\flightgear.org\Input\Joysticks

you will normally see a file named TCA Q-Eng 1&2

open it with ur favorite xml. editor

paste this after the axis part

save and you're done
i hope it will work for u
i also made the throttle 80% correct (detents still working on the reverse thrust)
thx legoboyvdlp for the help

[jetsurfer]

Cool! I'll give it a try! Thank you so much!

[Mohamed]

no problem

tell me if it worked

[Mohamed]

ok i coded the reverse thrust for every engine by modifying the engine-common.nas file

now left reverse thrust irl toggle left reverse thrust in the sim
same thing for the right one
pro hacker
thx for the help

[jetsurfer]

Any idea for the autopilot and auto thrust disconnect buttons?

[Mohamed]

i also coded it
autopilot: when it's pressed for 1st time autopilot disconnect, 2nd time it stops the alarm like real airbus (add this in the TA320.xml file)
