⚠IMPORTANT: Due to some updates (Firmware TM Throttle Quadrant) and now different versions for some useres the axes "Throttle 1 Axis / Throttle 2 Axis" won't work! Try it with the default setting "Throttle 1 Axis (0 to 100%)/Throttle 2 Axis (0 to 100%)". This might help. Otherwise do the firmware update and the hardware calibration.⚠

Are you looking how to calibrate the TCA quadrant and add-on in FlyByWire A320 neo? --> take a look at this guide: ruclips.net/video/BQ80C_9J8Hk/видео.html
hey my landing gear does not work
@@gamingfr1728 I would recommend that you go to the controlls options and select in the upper left the option "search by input" and see which function is assigned to the landing gear lever. make sure that the correct function is assigned.
otherwise try to update the firmware of the throttle quadrant.
Tell me if it helped. :)
how to do firmware update
@@CharlesIvansfather you need to go to the thrustmaster.com website and download the updater in the download section of the TCA Quadrant. Then open it and do the Firmware update
how do you do a hardware calibration and I have already done a firmware update adn it still ahsnt worked
I watched several video for tca fenix calibration. This is definetely the most clear. Very important , as the video points out, to not set up idle reverse close to idle otherwise reverse doesn,t work
The best tutorial ever , I spent 5 hours looking for the right one till I found yours ... Thanks a lot
you're very welcome 🙂
You have helped me immensely spent 3 hours fumbling to get throttles working watched your video this morning and it was so helpful
This finally resolved my issues I have been having since day 1. None of the other videos were this intricate and detailed. Thanks!
I messed around with the thrust levers all day - catastrophic! Then I found your video while I was in bed, got out of bed and copied everything - it works!
Thanks 02:05 am - Good night and thank you very much!
This helped me a lot! Thanks.
liked and subbed!! helped a lot! could not for the life of me figure the flaps out until i seen you switch pages on the mcdu. I can't believe i missed that!
A video that really helped set up the quadrant. Thank you so much!
Beautiful tutorial, I watched another tutorial with someone else but they were no where as specific as you were thank you, earned a subscriber
I‘m glad that it helped! Thank you for your feedback 😊
Excellent! Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time, appreciate it !
It did help ! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you very much! Working perfect!
Thank you so much you’re amazing it has really been stressful before I saw you 😁
Wow thanks dude I’ve been looking for days how to calibrate my Airbus quadrant and until now it finally fixed thanks for the video Like!
Thanks mate, helped me a lot!!
Thank you so much! the sensitivity curve was holding my throttle back from going up to 100%. you da real mvp
Absolute G my man, vielen dank!
gerne ;)
Thank you! Very clear and straight to the point.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
Thank you for the great video
Excellent video!
first video that actually helped..😉
Thanks you very much! I have just imitated you to calib my throttle on Fenix Sim. I really feel happy and sincerely you. This video is very understand.
An amazing tutorial... thank you so much 🙂
thanks so much for this vdeo!! only one i tried that explained the axis change!! thanks again!
you are the Hero!!!
Thanks a lot this is very very useful with quadrant showing. The only guide with this appreciate it and it helps a lot beginners like me.
thank you :)
very very highly recommended video. IT explains how to calibrate the Throttles etc step by step for FENIX. Well done.
Many thanks!
Best video thank you 👍
THANK U SO MUCH !!
W, i couldnt set the throttles with other videos and this one really helped me alot thanks mate im happy that i can use my throttles
welcome! Glad that it helped
thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for this informative video on setting TCA in MSFS on A320 fenix. I could not control the flaps and the throttle. But everything is OK thanks to you. Great video...✈✈✈
You legend thank you so much
Vielen dank :)
thank you ver much, it works.
you're very welcome
Thank you man
glad it helped
Tnx you are the Best 👍👍
Very valuable
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen to date. However, I found a fix by setting the null zone is the MCDU to 0.5 fixed the reverser issue for me. See you in the skies!
I agree, best tutorial ever. All others takes ages and are cumbersome and unnecessary long.
This worked quite well today even after the Block 2 Update
Thank thank thank sooo much this helped so much I can finally fly the plane now and agin thank you
You are very welcome 😊👍
MUCHAS Gracias
gOOD VIDEO
Thanks
Excellent video, finally I got it to work...FENIX support were unable to help. CHEERS
GReat!!!
Great tutorial, well done - only difference for me is spoiler do not have to reverse the axe
I'm glad that you liked it and that it was helpfull. Interesting that you don't have to reverse the axes for the spoilers. But.. in the end it's not important. If it works it is good. :)
Hello.
Do you know how to assign APPR. AND LOC.
Ro one of the bottoms?
What is the right buttons for the Eng 1/ Eng 2 on off buttons? What is it called in game, Fuel Valve? Using those switches for the fuel cut off in the PMDG777
I got to calibrate throttles through the mdcu but when i put it in idle reverses come on even if i dont pull my reverses back then my flaps with working opposite even when i checked marked the reverse on control settings but i clicked it again to see if it would fix it and messed up my whole throttles! Now my throttles dont go to idle and stay stuff in climb. To 50% up to 100% but no idle or reverses. Idk this setup is so complicated for no reason. Any help would be appreciated
Hey @edwinsoto7233
First of all, a few dots and commas would have helped to read your text better. 😁But I think that I understood your problem.
This is the first time that someone describes these issues.
But (!) whenever you do changes in the controlls options you have to do the calibration in the MCDU again.
My recommendations:
- go back to the MCDU Config and press the delete configuration button. So you'll have a fresh start and can try it again. (This should help)
- do the firmware update via the Thrustmaster Firmware Update Software (can be found on thrustmasters webpage)
- if this won't help maybe try another USB Port. What kind of USB Port do you use? USB 2.0, 3.0? (I don't know if it makes a difference)
- try using another axis. Some users wrote that the throttle axis 1 and 2 didn't work for them. Instead they used the standard axes (Throttle Axis 0 to 100%) and it worked fine.
If this solved your problem it would be nice if you can give me a little feedback. Because other ppl may have the same issues. Thanks
danke für dieses hilfreiche video. Vorher hat gar nichts geklappt, jetzt klappt fast alles. Ich hätte noch eine frage woran kann es liegen, dass meine spoiler verkehrtherum funktionieren ( wenn ich sie auf dem tca auf full mache sind sie im fenix auf 0 )
danke für dein Feedback.
Mit den Spoilern kann ich mir nur vorstellen, dass das Häkchen bei "umkehren" gesetzt oder eben nicht gesetzt ist.
Da kannst Du mal nach der Spoiler-Belegung suchen, in dem du auf der Konfigurationsseite vom TCA Quadranten auf "search by input" bzw. "nach Eingabe suchen" (meine das heißt so).
Und dann mal schauen, ob da ein Haken bei umkehren gesetzt oder nicht gesetzt ist.
Quasi das Gegenteil von der jetzigen Einstellung wählen und dann müsste es klappen.
hi, i have problem with the flap, the position with axis is only step 1, after dont go in position 3 and more. And in calibration in positiion 1 wen full100%... how is possible?
To be honest.. I don’t have a clue.
Do you use the current firmware and have you tried the hardware calibration (not in the MSFS, but in the thrustmaster software)? Maybe that helps.
Why doesn’t throttle one isn’t working for me but the second one does??
Is there any way to calibrate TCA Boeing throttle quadrant for Fenix A320?
Good question. I assume yes. But I don’t own it. That’s why I can’t provide a sufficient answer to this. Sorry.
Have you tried the same procedure as with the airbus quadrant?
I have a problem still with my throttles on the Fenix a320, when I set my TCA throttle to CLB detent my engines go into full thrust. I don’t know why this happens, my throttle are calibrated properly. Please can someone help me?
were you able to solve your issue?
When I connect the flight joystick it detects it but the other part does not detect it. Does anyone know why? (I'm from Xbox)
Same problem… halos hard to say what button x and y is
Hey it works but when I go to the menu and then back it goes to toga and I won’t go back 😢
So you completed the calibration and saved it and after you go to the main menu and back to the cockpit the thrustlever is stuck on to/ga?
Some ideas to solve it:
- change the “reverse axis”
- maybe you have to take the standard axes (see my pinned comment up front)
- make sure that you’ve installed the latest firmware and drivers
- delete the configuration in the MCDU and do the configuration again.
- remember. Whenever you change something within the sensitivity or sth else in the TCA Quadrant you have to do the configuration in the MCDU again.
Hope it helps
Hi mate how do i update the firmware of the quadrant or to the hardware calibration because when i load in to the cockpit my throttle wont move at all
I would recommend to use the TM firmware Updater to do it.
Very simple: support.thrustmaster.com/de/product/tca-quadrant-airbus-edition-de/
Let me know if that helped and solved your issue with the controls
@@SNUGaming how do i do it
hello, I have the same problems as the last comments, the problem is that with the A320 of default the throttle thrusmaster works perfectly
, it is only with Fenix that it does not recognize the axis but shows me them as buttons
Very strange. Do you use the PC only Thrustmaster Quadrant or the (new) PC/Xbox Version?
@@SNUGaming wot wot wot ???
I can not believe it . after days of following your tutorial to the letter, yesterday I turned off the PC and went crazy, I turn it back on this morning and the throttle quadrant works perfectly. I don't know what to say, the mysteries of computer science or there are ghosts in the house
@@zaro9709 I'm glad to hear that it finally worked out! Have a lot of fun with the fenix and your TM quadrant. :)
I binded the flaps and spoilers but when i test them nothing happens, do you know how to fix it?
Hi.. no, unfortunately not. I assume you selected the correct axes in the controls options. Maybe you should try it one more time with the configuration in the MCDU. As I tried it the first time I had the same problem as you. Did everything correctly but the levers wouldn’t move. Did it again and after another try it worked.
Besides that: try to update your firmware. Maybe that helps as well?!
Doesnt work for me. Pls help me. If I try to calibrate the blue numbers in the right and left corner doesn‘t go under 42%, due to this I can‘t calibrate the fenix 😢. Pls help 🙏
Have you tried the hardware calibration (not in the Sim) and did you do the firmware update?
My quantrant won’t even show up in settings at all ? With the picture like yours does ? Everything is plugged in it was working fine for months and now it’s suddenly disappeared ?
I'd recommend to check the USB ports. Maybe it is an issue with them.
Also you could download the drivers package. support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/tca-quadrant-airbus-edition-en/
there also is an app called "Thrustmaster Flight Control Panel".. or maybe in your system settings for game controllers as well.. If the doesn't move at all it could realy be a problem with the USB Ports or the device itself. If it moves but doesn't show up in MSFS I would go to one of the MSFS community boards and ask the question there again.
Do you have a conversion for the controls? I play on Xbox… everything updated but since last update the quadrant doesn’t seem to work as it should. It works just a bit .@@SNUGaming
When I'm making my configurations with the physical thurstasmter and I try to configure it on the Fenix A320 in FMC everything gets stuck and it never corresponds to what I want, do you know what it could be? My didnt even move in the flight simulator when im putting for exemple max reverse...
I would check if your firmware is updated to the newest version and do the hard ware calibration on the throttle itself. (Not in the MSFS). Download the software from the thrustmaster.com website
@@SNUGaming ok, thanks, when I try that I give you an answer
@@SNUGaming but for exemple when i use FBW a320neo didnt hapend that
@@ytnighthpower1932 maybe you have to use different axes for the Fenix A320. For some users for some reasons it is different than in my video
@@SNUGaming ok do u know how can i resolve it or is by the way that u tell me by official site of thurstmaster?
Im trying to calibrate but when I move my throttles the throttles in the cockpit won’t move the mfd shows the throttles spooling up but then immediately just by itself go to idle when my throttles are on Toga need help
hey.. sorry to hear about that issue.
I'm not quite sure how to solve this problem.
I would recommend to do the firmware update of the throttles. You'll find the driver at the thrustmaster website.
Also try to do the hardware calibration (not in the MSFS). If you don't know how to do that. There are videos on youtube. I didn't do my own "how to do" video concerning the hardware calibration yet.
Additionally you can try to use different axes in the controls settings options. See my pinned message.
Hope it helps.
santiago did you fix this issue? i am facing the same problem it's soooo frustrating
Can you do the rudder calibration and settings for fenix a320
hey there.. hm... maybe.. I use slightly different settings than the standard. but this depends on your rudder as well..
@@SNUGaming im using tfrp. A small movement on my rudder my plane steer too much
@@japhethidalg0 i would recommend that you go into the settings and reduce the sensitivity. That should help
This guide is different to other calibration guides. Most don't say to use to 0-100% range for the throttles
well, in the video I do say to use throttle 1 and 2 axis instead of throttle 1 (0 to 100%), don't I?
at the time I produced the video this was the proper solution to set it up. Due to firmware and software updates it may have changed for some users. That's why I wrote down in the pinned comment, that for some users it might be suitable to use the 0-100% option instead.. :)
@@SNUGaming fair comment
I simply cant get it to work, any reccomendations?
what exactly is the issue? Have you tried updating the firmware and software of the TM quadrant?
I kept trying and got it to work, many hours went into that lol
Hi, On the step where I need to calibrate the throttle, when I move the throttle to max reverse, it doesn't show as 0% on the MCDU, can you please help me? Big Thanks in advance!
what does it show instead? have you tried the hardware calibration of the throttle (not in the simulator) first?
@Flight Voyage Hi I have the same issue, I contacted the FenixSim support but obviously have to wait for a response. If they can help I'll let you know.
@@Mauriceweller interesting. It seems like that this issue occurs more often in the last weeks.
If they replay please post the solution to the issue here. 😎👍
I got the email and in the end it was quite obvious. Go to >options>controls options>assign the levers to throttle axis 1 and 2. Make sure it says throttle axis and not throttle axis (0-100%). I hope it can help.
@@Mauriceweller thx 4 the answer. Interesting. For me (and a lot of other ppl it works with throttle axis 1 to 100%)
I have to check that myself, but I hadn’t any issues (as you can see in the video)
throttle does not move when between IDLE and cl
can u do this same exact tutorial, but with the t.flight hotas x???
Hey.. unfortunately I don’t have the flight hotas x.
@@SNUGaming oh its ok!
anyone knows how to configure the setting of arming auto spoilers
I play on Xbox series s, when I look for this it only shows my joy stick, my config on my throttle is really annoying, I move it I tiny bit and I makes throttle 100% also my flaps and speed brakes are opposite, when speed brakes are full, they are off vise versa, same with flaps
Sorry to hear. This video is for PC users. Don’t know how it works on Xbox. But should be similar?! Sorry that I can’t help
@@SNUGamingall good
Can't seem to find a spoiler axis. Also, when I connected the add-ons, it changed the name I had to "TCA Q-ENG 3&4" and erased all my controls on the base thing.
Dang I found the axis lol, but when my throttle is idle it goes to reverse thrust??
Regarding the reverse thrust I would recommend to leave a little gap in the settings. Means idle reverse should be set closer to full reverse instead of closer to idle. Then it shouldn’t be activated unintentionally if you set your thrust lever to idle.
Alright, thanks! Once I get that done I just gotta do the buttons.@@SNUGaming
Question: do you have a tutorial on the buttons lol? can't seem to figure them out@@SNUGaming
@@Loaf_ve unfortunately Not.
I only can recommend to use the standard setup of the TCA Q-Eng first and to duplicate it. (As shown in the video) So you will have all the standard buttons set up correctly and only have to do the changes as shown in the video for the levers.
My controls were somehow wiped when I installed the add-ons. I am pretty sure that even removing the add-ons, saving it, and then re-installing them wouldn't work.@@SNUGaming
hi bro found how to do it but mine just goes from reverse idle and then to toga and i cant do it
then I would reccomend doing the hardware calibration (need to do a video about it because so many ppl asked how to do it)..
Maybe I can create one in the next couple of days.. otherwise search for thrustmaster airbus quadrant calibration or sth like this.
there are a couple of videos out there which explain how to do it.
@@SNUGaming thanks bro if you can upload a video that will really help but ill do what u said first
Hi mate, done all these steps but in the plane my throttle just wont move at all, not sure whats happening
First I had the same issue. Than I checked again if I took the correct axes. Did a mistake there. Make sure you use "Throttle 1 Axis (0 to 100)" and "Throttle 2 Axis (0 to 100).
If that doesn't work try updating the firmware of the quadrant or to the hardware calibration of the throttle.
hope this helps
Some users wrote that the throttle axis 1 and 2 didn't work for them. Instead they used the standard axes (Throttle 1 and 2 Axis 0 to 100%) and it worked fine.
followed every step cant get throttles to move gve in aircraft still
Try a Firmware Update ?!
i just got back to fenix after a year ,cant get flaps working
I found the flaps not working after the last update too. Did the configuration as shown at the end of the video and now it works again
@@SNUGaming sorry i missed that,was trying to looking on my side monitor and do setting same time ,did not move the screen to my 55 inch in my cockpit ,managed to get it working .thanks for reply
my controls can't go on reverse :(
Sorry to hear that. Have you selected the correct Axes ( 1:34 ) and have you performed the calibration in the MCDU (4:14) correctly?
Otherwise I'd recommend to update the firmware of the quadrant and to do the hardware calibration of the quadrant itself.
I hope it helps!
So frustrating my reverses won’t work
sorry to hear that. I guess you've tried all the troubleshooting?! Update Firmware, do hardware calibration (not in msfs), ensure to select the correct axes, software update if possible.
it is not working on my Sim:(
what exactly?
Every other aircraft it works out of the box. I’m not gonna go thru all this noise.
I do not see the same as you are showing...
where exactly?
Update Thrustmaster firmware
is there a new version? I've to check that
@@SNUGaming that would be awesome! Thank you!
@@mcshiggitypilot5901 to make it more clear for me. with the new firmware version the configuration of the quadrant doesn’t work like in my video?
Hey why did you make the screen so small it is unreadable !!! 🖕
Well mate.. showing the finger is not very nice.
This is a 21:9 screen with a 3440x1440 resolution. Maybe that is the reason why you can’t read it well.
But just listen to the voiceover. Very easy to understand what you should do.
Or watch it on a different device like your cell. You even can zoom in there
I am surprised not only a poor videographer but also a pompous ass ! You and your fancy graphics can EAT SHIT 🖕🖕🖕!

Mcdu button doesn't do anything , can't go in to that menu
check your installation and make sure that you chose fenix a320 in the world map menu
I have nothing reconfigured on the throttle thing , doesn't even show its picture
?
Why when I press mcdu , it doesn't go to that menu ? It does nothing
@@bengvideos572 sounds like the Microsoft standard A320 if the MCDU has no functionality. Do you see the iPads on the left and right in the cockpit?
Perhaps the selection of the A320 was not saved or transferred correctly?
