    Thank you, Jonathan. Very well described instructions mate. I have liked and subscribed to your channel.
    I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to calibrate for the FBW A32NX and watched quite a few videos to no avail, but yours was the one that did the trick.
    As you mentioned, right out of the bat, set the sensitivity settings to 0, create a duplicate profile, and then CLEAR the Throttle L-Axis and Y-Axis (IMPORTANT), and reset them again. That did the trick for me. I was about to send the unit back thinking it was faulty, now I'll order the Quadrant addons. Cheers again!

    Thanks a lot again, Jonathan ! I wasn't aware of how the detentes were configured 'spatially', including idle, climb, cruise etc. At last I can now have the Quadrant set such...it doesn't have the aircraft wanting to be 'let out of the traps' at full pace anymore, as soon as I release the brakes ! ( I can't tell you how many times I've found it really awkward just trying to set the idle space in X-Plane 11, in MY ignorance...which obviously has a required 'knock-on' effect to keeping the aircraft idling on the ground, rather than 'running-away' as soon as I release the brakes !! ). Keep up the great work Jon' much appreciated !

    Bought the TCA throttle (dont have levers for flaps and spdbrk) few weeks ago. Followed the Thrustmaster official calibration guide. The device is a mess. Nothing works out of the box. Thanks to your video I was able to set the throttle axis. But the eng switches and starter switch (crank-norm-ign) did not work. Defaultly set to heading but set and hold (LOL). The eng switches for fuel in/cut off were set as avionic master 1 and 2. Total BS by TM.
    For those who have the tca airbus throttle quadrant at the same state = unusable. Follow this guide.
    1) Clear everything
    2) Set throttles according to this video
    3) find setting set engine master 1/2 and set engine 1/2 fuel valve and map it to the engine switches (2 silver switches with square top) - works in Fenix as well.
    4) To set up the crank-norm-ign starter knob you have to firstly set crank (button 7 moving the knob left and center) then set the ign/start (button 8 moving right and center) and lastly set engine norm mode and you have to set BOTH buttons 7 and 8 here (primary and secondary) and you have to change the action type "on press" to "on release"
    5) Take a beer. You deserve it.

  • @lextacy2008
    @lextacy2008 Год назад +6

    A couple of things since there are new versions:
    The reversers no longer show in virtual cockpit moving until you actually start the engines. Some update is responsible for this. I just wasted an hour figuring out why the reverse detent was not updating in the cockpit.
    "Reverse Axis" is not the reversers. Its just reversing the analog direction (kinda like when you pull down on the stick to go up, and you can reverse that direction). By ticking this box you are assigning TOGO to IDLE for example.

    Hi Jonathan,
    A remark and a question.
    First of all I want to remark that I am very happy with this video ! Very clearly step-by-step explained.
    I struggled quite a few hours (without getting good results) with these Airbus throttles, but after implementing your configuration -procedure they now work perfectly!!
    Thanks a lot.
    The question is about the spoilers and flaps.
    In your video it is mentioned that if you make a duplicate of the default setup, the spoilers and flaps should work out-of-the-box also.
    Unfortunately, that is not the case:
    - Flaps handle in position 0 : ==> full flaps and all 4 other positions of the Flaps handle result in Flaps up
    - Spoiler handle does not work at all
    I tried to find a solution online, but not many people seem to have this problem.
    Do you have a suggestion how to solve this?

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  9 месяцев назад

      No idea what's going on there. Do they work with other aircraft ?

    • @Paul-ld1yf
      @Paul-ld1yf 9 месяцев назад

      Hi Jonathan,
      Thanks for your reply.
      As I was looking on internet if there were other persons with the same problem, I came across a very short video (1 minute) where someone set the throttles by simply moving the levers (including the flaps plus spoilers handles) through each detent, while clicking on the two red buttons at sides of the levers at every detent.
      I followed that procedure (actually without much hope), but it worked !
      Everything on the throttle quadrant (including flaps and spoilers) is now operational.
      When I checked the sensitivites I noticed that the very strangely curved sensitivities were again applicable. My custom made FBW A320 profile is still active, but the sensitivites are reset to the standard and nevertheless the levers move nicely through the gates. I do not really understand this, but it works.
      I am happy that my FBW A 320 can be flown smoothly again.
      Remark 1: I do not have the Hotas drivers installed.
      Remark 2: No, I do not have other aircraft ( the only aircraft I ever fly is the FBW A 320)
      Thanks again for your great video ( I subscribed to your channel since your videos really stand out)
      Kind regards,

    Wondering how you manage the tiller on the Airbus? I find the steering on the ground using just the rudder axis to be very lacking and not precise enough and as I am flying an A330 around I don't need to use the rudder inputs aside from the takeoff and landing roll.
    Do you have some way of getting the tiller to work so that I can have full control over the NWS?

Did you find out why the switches were not working which you tried in your video. Rudder trim doesmove but not really expecting that until I have hydraulic pressure for surfaces, also the Auto brake level switch. I couldn't see mine moving.

In your video this shows top me with having tried different ways was that your quadrant was plugged directly into the PC. In this mode the graphic of the quadrant is shown but not when plugged into the sidestick. If you configure the joystick with it plugged into the sidestick then another time it's plugged directly into the PC, the first lot of settings is not available unless you go back to how it was fitted when setup.

    Great video Jonathan, thank you so much. New subscriber here. Joystick working the middle of the thrustmaster quadrant working. I'm so close. Just to the left and right of the throttle section aren't working. Any ideas? Appreciate any help you can offer. I think I have DL the drivers correctly. Thank you.
