So I have a tx16s and I’m trying to program differential thrust into my plane. I’m having problems just writing models from my pc so can anyone walk me through the process for the mixes and such?
here is an example were I setup CH3 as one throttle channel and CH5 as the other throttle channel with 25% differential on the throttles. You also want to make sure to setup your fail safe correctly as most receivers will center a channel when in fail safe and you don't want that on a throttle challenge.
Mixers
CH1
I1:Ail Weight(+100%)
CH2
I2:Ele Weight(+100%)
CH3
I3:Thr Weight(+100%)
+= I4:Rud Weight(+25%)
:= MAX Weight(-100%) Switch(SF↑) [Cut]
CH4
I4:Rud Weight(+100%)
CH5
Thr Weight(+100%)
+= I4:Rud Weight(-25%)
:= MAX Weight(-100%) Switch(SF↑) [Cut]

That looks like it would work... what do you mean by "maximum weights"?
Right now the throttle is 100% mixed into both channels and the rudder is 30% to both. Which should work fine.

So, it works, but smal problem: I found out that I need quite a bit of trim on the rudder(20%) but when I start the motors up, one of them spins at neutral, because of the trim. Right now, I’m just giving as much trim before the motor starts, but it might affect the turning a tiny bit still.
you need to individually set the throttle range on both esc's. i would guess that is your issue. depending upon the controller and the channels used diff thrust can have its little quirks, but yours sounds like and ESC not programing issue.
