Support for TO/GA button built into the throttle (not on axis) #8246

Description

This request pertains specifically to the Turtle Beach VelocityOne flight stick. The two throttle sliders have two buttons built into them which are activated by moving the slider all the way in either direction - intended to be used for FULL REVERSE (buttons B10 and B12) and TO/GA (buttons B9 and B11). These buttons are labelled as such, and effectively provide detents for IDLE and FLX/MCT.

The FBW A32NX already supports using these buttons for reverse thrust, as detailed in the flyPad Throttle Calibration page.

Support for using the B9 and B11 buttons for TO/GA would improve compatibility with this flight stick. The configuration would be similar to that of reverse thrust: on the EFB, an option to disable TO/GA on axis, and binding B9/B11 button press to increase throttle.
