After you reach V1, it's customary to take your hand off the thrust levers. Because once you're at V1, if you have an engine failure you keep going, rotate and takeoff. Keeping your hand on the levers might cause you to abort and pull the levers back and run out of runway.
Thanks will keep that i mind for future flights
He does not set V1 speed :)
also, incase your chair goes fully back you might accidently pull the thrust levers to idle :)
That chattery park brake is hilarious.
Lol
Too many "fixed later in fitmware" and shortcuts.
Wow, lot of problems with this add-on (set), i was going to get the thrustmaster throttle and stick...i have now crossed this entire product off my to-get list. Thanks for the video, you really do a good job with this and helped me make my decision once and for all. I can see this just collecting dust and taking up space. I'm not going to get taken again by sloppy and cheap products and I thank you SOOO much!
You welcome
@@BluGames “Your welcome”
@@humanmonkey8234 you're
@@Fromatic *You’re
@@humanmonkey8234 Imagine correcting someone and then getting your correction wrong.
5:14 you have to use FS2020 ON-PRESS / ON-RELEASE options on the binding to make the Engine mode switch work between NORM and IGNITION. The same works for the parking break ON/OFF.
Good video. Btw, the autobrake selector isn't really a "Boeing style" autobrake, it's actually the selector from the A380 and A350, which is a rotational knob including the 'BTV' setting (like on the Thrustmaster).
love this guide/showcase cant wait to get it for my birthday and since this video is nearly a year old hopefully all the faults that you pointed out are fixes. Great vid!
It is a shame that they didn't do the arm spoiler and flap pull up thing:(
Totally agree....but i guess at this price point we need to be realistic with our expectations.
@@zk9058 I'd rather pay the small amount of extra money it would take to do it right. Really weird thing to cheap out on in my opinion. It's a huge flaw.
@@NickyNiclas agreed, would have been simple enough to to implement.
I'll probably save some more and go Honeycomb
Its hard to make it realistic, I think that’s why they didn’t do that arm spoiler thing
Very good video, positive energy and very knowledgeable approach. Keep it up!
Thanks for the info.👍 preordered.Very good explanation of the goods and bads.
Stay healthy and take care
Thank you! Same to you
Great video - I was actually inspired to buy this along with some pedals - great editorial!
You welcome enjoy!!
I get the Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle Quadrant and the Saitek Switch panel with the 3x Lights when the Gear is down all green befor Red i am happy with this the Add On Flap and Speedbreak levlers i dont need.
@@jmc9689 He only bought the throttle quadrant and a saitek panel, he didn't say he bought the add on for flaps and speed brakes.
Good job my bro! This is great to see bro like me flying.
Haha thanks man!! Same same!
I am a white bwoy, and I thought the same. I yearn for the day where it is not noticeable and we are all just human. Far fetched I know, but after all we are all just human.... and Simmers too! Peace and love xx
@@garyfitzgerald4340 WTF you were literally the one noticing and taking about skin colour. Why even make this anything else than just a video about fight gear?
@@ActuallyAwesomeName Listen to it, note Henry M’s comment and Blu’s reply. My comment was inspired by Henry’s ‘bro like me’ comment. And I yearn for a day when we’re just humans existing together in peace and harmony.
I hope this clarifies what I meant enough for you.
@@garyfitzgerald4340 what?
Nice these are the controls i waitet for so long 99% of Flight sim hardware is for fighter jets
Can’t wait to get my hands on this. Thanks for the review.
No problem bro!!
@@BluGames ⁰
It's so cool to me that there are apparently enough people wanting to fly the heavies in FS that TM can make a profit off of these. I wish they'd expand their combat line with this modularity, though.
Yea very cool. And yes they saw there is a market here also
Amazing Blu. Thanks for this now I just have to buy the product lol.
Thanks mate, that was quite informative. Cheers for sharing.
Welcome!!
Great video. Please keep us all updated when some of the bugs like parking brake get fixed. 👍
it actually works correctly now if the control is set to "Set parking Brake" instead of "Toggle parking brake". same for the landing gear, use "Set gear" isntead of "Toggle..." note however that currently the " Set gear" command is broken and allows only to set gear up and won't set them down. it was working a couple weeks ago but not anymore until MS fixes the issue
Thanks
Damn, thats awesome. Thrustmaster and other peripheral manufacturers must be loving all the new sim games.
Yea i bet!!
Great video. Have all the bugs with gear lever, autobrakes, and spoilers been corrected by Thrustmaster. I really wanted this addon, but not with all the bugs I've seen reported on this an other reviews. It is amazing that Thrustmaster would put out a product with so many problems. Hoping for good news!
They really should have added the "arm speedbreak" feature...
Would be nice
Couldn't you just map one of those 2 buttons by the engine mode selector to toggle arm/disarm spoilers? Never mind, you mentioned it in the video. Missed that part.
@@jalbino59 Yeah, i'm 95% sure of that, you'd have to choose a toggle feature if you only want to use one button. I think i'd use the "reset trim" button. Not sure if there is a "toggle arm speedbreak" feature though
Just wait for an update 🙂😉
@@gibanica87 How would an update physically change the quadrant?
Great review! Looks absolutely amazing
Thanks RJ
THANK YOU SO MUCH . I ALWAYS WANTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS CUZ I AM IN LOVE WITH AVIATION.AND NOW I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE AND IM GETTING IT (The one in the video)
that throttle quadrant is just fantastic..
Yea pretty cool
Loved the quick tutorial and review ! Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
Looks incredible!! thanks for the video
Welcome and thanks for watching
SATA cables are surprising! I don't think I've ever seen SATA connections used for anything other than a storage device before.
At 5:57 those lights below the engine master switches are fire warning lights. They illuminate, along with the Fire push buttons on the overhead panel when you get an engine fire. It’s just another way to confirm your engine is definitely on fire. 👍
Niiice
@@BluGames I’ll add there is also a fault light on that button. That illuminates amber in case the fuel HP shut off is an abnormal position, the automatic start sequence is aborted or if there is a malfunction of the thrust control. The fault light is not something I’ve ever seen to be fair. Even when I’m in the sim. It’s not a button on the aircraft either, it’s just a FIRE & FAULT light. 👍
Gotcha thanks
If it mine working when it press on it for engin fire test but the lights not going on why ?
Really love your vidoes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much
Thank's for the video..You got me convinced..😀I am gonna buy one tomorrow..
Wow that's so impressive!
awesome landing. good flying!
Thanks alot!
@@BluGames Maybe you can help me out. I'm not a pilot, just a gamer interested in flying. How come in the A320, when I engage the auto pilot and set altitude (or speed), sometimes I have to press the button to engage selected speed, and sometimes it will do it automatically? Maybe I'm wrong, but am I doing a setting wrong? Also, do you think the plane (A320) bounces quite a bit at landing? I land at 140 knots, and i lay her down as gently as possible and she still bounces.. not sure what i'm doing wrong. - thanks in advance if you can help.
Those buttons on left and right of the engine mode selector are indicators in the real airbus. They can show "FIRE" and "FAULT".
You are a good person
Really enjoyed your video I have issues with my flight Sam sometimes I don't know anybody that's into it like I am so there's really no one to help me so I'm pretty much stuck thanks for the video I really enjoyed it
Great video and nice landing. I’ve got the add ons ordered so they should be with me at end of Dec. Thanks for showing what does and doesn’t map currently.👍👍
Best review I’ve seen. Thanks.
Great review thanks!
Great video. Thanks!
That's some good quality video.
Thank you
I really enjoyed your video it was very informative I just bought the set I sure wish I knew you personally I would sure love to pick your brain and I could surely use your help on getting my flight simulator up to speed with some of the graphic you have I've been doing flight simulator now for over 10 years I think I've logged somewhere around 15000 hours actually keep track of my time thanks again love your video man it was very very helpful greetings from Saint Louis Missouri
Hey thanks for watching. Glad i could help. You can always reach out to me on discord. Link is in the about section of my youtube channel
@@BluGames hey can you give me any recommendation on some graphics that are good for worldwide that I can download or purchase a DVD drive because I'm kind of sick of default world
Great video brother
Up at 238 am jus to watch and try to order it
Fyi Pre-order link updated and pinned at top of comments
@@BluGames huge fan I’d love to join your next flight if I can figure out xpilot
Great video, not sure what set up to buy. I was going for A10 Warthog now I think the Airbus will be the best way to go, thank you
I just got the captains pack and stoked that you can buy the add-on later, Since im just a gamer who likes flying in VR its a good way to see if im still flying alot after a month and if yes buy the add on!
yes
yes
Love it!!
Thanks. Great video
Great Video , Turtle Approved .
I would have loved to have these! :-D
Its a game changer
Thanks for the video! Did you have to do anything special to get the ENG master switches to work?
Hi, when would this addon for gear and flaps be able for purchase? Tried to google this but found nowhere to buy this prod. Could you help out?
Great addons will have get thanks
Thanks fir watchinh
You'll find that when the controller initialised because the position of the park brake was different to in-game it depends on how the switch is configured in the hardware. Turn the park brake to on, THEN fire up the computer and it should come good in the game. Once you are on the runway flicking the brake off should then cause it to turn off in the game as well. Happened a few times with my Logitech throttle quadrant
Thanks
@@BluGames Let me know if it fixed it. I'd be interested to know :)
Very nice video my friend , just a question , how are you getting the pure engine and flaps sounds in your cockpit , any addon or specific sounds settings in options - general menu ? Many Thanks
Why didn't they just design the speed brake lever with a hump at the end? So that we could just push the lever gently to the front to arm the speed brakes (like reverse thrust on Saitek throttle quadrant but for the speed brakes)
🤷🏾♂️
Well to add to the mysterious design decisions the first question that popped into my mind when I had the throttle in hand: Why didn't they design the detents according to the real thing instead splitting the throttle into even 25%. That is not how the detends are positioned on the real thing and it makes the travel range between idle and clb detend much too small.
Good point
Nah because Boeing designers would call and say neener neener u copied our better design!
Just bought this, and was somewhat mildly bemused, kind of 50-50 about it. The switches besides the levers felt very flimsy.
So far, you are one of the best reviewers here, pointing out the things other simmer often missed: that flap lever action (lift button to move it between gates).
Plus, why the Airbus A350-style autobrake switch? Ain't no flight sim in this world got that BTV function simulated.
Thanks for watching. And i completely understand how you feel
Nice video! thank you! in this world of social media agressivity your tone and sound feels good.
It is true that now, the quadrant looks complete. What about using auto pilot on the fire fault kind of push button?
for the park brake, the bug comes from MSFS which does not manage release function... I hope they will bring it asap because all peripherals with switches behave the same
Yep very true. About the msfs switches. And yes you map the AP to the black buttons if you likw
6:10 They are Fire Indicator Lights. It will display FIRE in red if there is a fire on that engine
Alright
And additionally they indicate a fault with a yellow fault light
Superb landing 👍
Thank you
That’s very cool!
Yea it is
When is the next live?
looks great im looking for a good flight controller i think this is it thx, great video
Glad I could help
Great video. Can you also make a video with XP11 and the Toliss 319? That will be awesome.
Thanks alot!! And i have already made alot of videos with the toliss a319 & a321. But i may do another in the future
very very cool stuff!
It looks very good
good video, was your landing gear, flap, speed brake, and park brake working out of the box? none of mine are responding, did you have to configure them?
Cool Video. One Question, where you bay the add on set?
Out of curiosity, did you have to "program" all the buttons, throttle, essentially everything in flight sim or was it a simply "plug and play"? Struggling to program my current flight stick with flight sim and debating upgrading if it is plug and play with flight sim. Also, great review.
Great demo!
Have you tried it in other sims like DCS?
For my speed breaks and everything is amazing and excellent
Yea!!
Great job.
Nice job have fun.
Thanks alot
@6:00 those are the Fire lights when you get a fire on an engine they iluminate th also on the overhead lights which are one channel the pedestal lights are another channel for redundancy
Hi, are the issues you mentions in msfs fixed now? I'm thinking of buying one. 🤔 Are any of the throttle-related issues still not fixed? Such as the eng 1 and 2 start switches, park break and speed break delay etc. Unfortunately in my country, the captain's edition costs around 450usd so I just want to be sure these issues are fixed before purchasing. Thanks a lot. Looking forward to your reply
Thanks... that was very informative. now if only I could get a hold of this. looks like it's not available or sold out.
Yes sadly i believe its sold out already
Actually, that Autobrake is used in Airbus Aircrafts but only in the A340 and A380. Interestingly, it also has some Break to Vacate Indication on it. Might come in handy when the FBW A380 releases :)
Thanks for pointing that out. I could t remember where i saw that
its also on the a350
Also great traffic patterns
Thank you
Great video thank you so much!....😀 Now that this Airbus throttle quadrant and side switches are a year old, did they address all of those issues? Also I have an Extreme 3D pro joystick will I be able to utilize that joystick in conjunction with this setup? And one other question, if I may? Is there a way to secure this device to your desk?? Thank you in advance I'm sorry for all the questions...👍
Hello, can I ask you a question? how come my throttle doesn’t match the in game throttle? Like for instance, when I put my throttle to the FLEX position, the in-game throttle is barely in the CLIMB position. So therefore, I have to move it close to TOGA in my throttle so it can be right on FLEX in the in-game throttle. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.
The autobrake on the TCA is the one on the A350 with BTV (brake to vacate) lo 2 3 and Hi
Thanks for pointing that out havent flown the heavy busses in a while
Thank you for the video, I am still waiting for my officer pack (pre ordered in June) so I think I’ll hold off for now, very disappointed that it has stretched out this far... I wanted this quadrant add on but I am honestly turned off by the amount of time it’s taken to get the officer pack, could be another year.
Dang.. freakin covid causing major delays
Lol
Can i use the addons whithout the throttle? It may sound stupid but I suppose some people might not want to use the throttle since they might use their old hotas but still want physical flaps, spoilers, parking brake, amd landing gear lever.
When I fly a 747 x 4 Engine the peripheral only allows me to use 2 engines I even switch the button at the bottom to 4 engine but no luck. Any tips?
Do you know if the glitches you talked about in this video are fixed yet, like the parking brake/gear selector/autobrake issue? I ordered the throttle, planning to get the addon piece soon so wanted to see if it was good to go yet.
After waiting two months since ordering from Amazon, I am supposed to get my Add-On the end of this week. Didn't see anything in the instructions, however, on how to connect the Add-On units to the quadrant when you have two quadrants as I do. I have a request in to Thrustmaster but for now, assuming one SATA cable into each of the quadrants should work (I hope).
Which axis is your spoiler assigned to? I just got the addon but the spoilers cannot be linked to an axis (that I could find) like is shown in your video. any help is appreciated, thanks!
The thrust levers, speed brakes and flaps levers are bigger in real life, that is why you get a lag feeling.
Hm interesting thanks
@blu Where did you buy your add ons?
I bought my side stick and throttle quadrant from MS store, but I can't seem to find the quadrant add ons anywhere except mypilotcentral, where of course there is a waitlist and it is out of stock.
If you know please let me know, thanks bro!
am going to buy it today later
well done!
Thank you
Great video! I wish you could show the setup (config) in MSFS. I use FBW and flaps doesn’t work “step by step”, just retractes of full. Any tip?
Alot has updated since the initial release so setup should be easier. But I know are some tricky mappinga for the FBW A320 and Fenix a320 now
Oh no. Why didn't they do the Parking Brake, Engine Master, Flaps and Spoiler Pull Up things.
yeah im changing them so they pull up
@@acid3367 how can you change that
@@jakobbb6405 Theres a few tutorials already up on YT, but basically you got to change the switches
@@jakobbb6405 i have no clue how to the spoilers but the rest should be pretty easy to do
Maybe they are doing it. It’s in development so it’ll release end 2021
Look for "set parking break" control. Should fix your issue
Thanks ill try that
"as you can see the gear is in the oops position" hahaha
JUST ordered it .. cant wait to fucks with it. LOVE Flight Simming.
I got it the other day had issues with the throttle not showing up so I filled a support ticket I wish you the best of luck with yours
@@samsunited4965 sorry to hear that.. mine worked perfectly out the box.. didn't even need to adjust much
Those two buttons/lights below the engine master switches are ENG FIRE lights and ENG FAULT lights.
Having any issues when flying with some of the other planes there are, using the full setup?
I have a question. Do you need rudder pedals with the thrustmaster setup?
I'm still waiting on my officer pack pre order from August.......It'd be nice if they could get caught up on throttle quadrants first.
I think one of the guys mentioned it below than those black lights indicate ENG 1(2) Fault/ Fire Light.... start fault in amber and triggered red for a engine fire warning.
So i got 2 of them, but when i put the second unit in 3/4 engines mode it doesn’t map them by default in fs2020, it is detected but nothing mapped, do you have any experience with-this how to get them to work?
