After assigning the various controllers and their axis’, you should close down FSX and restart it, otherwise the new settings might not be saved correctly. We have seen quite a few customers where this had happened. If more than one hardware axis is setup for the same engine in FSX, the throttle(s) will simply NOT work with the Airbus. If you got an advanced setup with Joystick/Yoke, Throttle quadrant and Pedals, then it could look like this: Look very thoroughly on each screenshot for details!! Please go through each and every controller you have attached to your system in the FSX controller menu and verify that all axis’ for the various controllers are setup correctly, and more important, that there is no double assignments, like “ENGINE 1 THROTTLE SET” assigned to both Your Throttle quadrant and Pedals.įlight Simulator X - Aerosoft Airbus X: A320-21 Start-Up Tutorial. If you only have a single joystick with one throttle axis, the FSX controller menus should look like this: Look very thoroughly on each screenshot for details! Select “Settings”, then “Controls” Note that preferably the Null Zones should be set to minimum and Sensitivity set to Maximum. Once all controllers and their axis’ has been tested or calibrated, start FSX. This must be done for each controller you plan to use. Test all axis’ and buttons and assure that they react properly, otherwise select the “Settings” tab on the top, then select “Calibrate” and follow the instructions. On that menu box you will see a “Test” tab at the top as well as a testing area where all the axis’ and buttons are shown. Procedure Please follow the sequence below and don´t pass any, also if you think you are sure that it is correct, often it reveals that it´s not!!!! The first thing you should do is to calibrate and test all your controllers in the Windows Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Devices and printer/ menu: Right click with the mouse on the Gaming device and select “Settings for gaming device” – a new menu box opens, then select the controller you want to test/calibrate and select “Properties” - yet another menu box opens. For this to work it is VERY important that Your Hardware throttles are setup correctly in both Windows and FSX. Therefore it was necessary to develop a special module that detaches the Hardware throttles from the FSX throttles and then control them outside FSX. Normally FSX will use your hardware throttles to set thrust directly. For the Airbus X Extended You MUST have at least one analog throttle axis available – keys won´t work.

INTRODUCTION The throttles of the real Airbus A320 series are not mechanical connected to the engines like seen on most other aircraft.
