I’m having issues with TCA Captain joystick with dc6 only rudder works on joystick and only one side of the throttle quadrants work. £50 and can’t get the basics right

Sorry to hear that. Everything is fine with the TCA Boeing so far. Maybe check their forum if there’s something on this?

Ok the joystick is fine just noticed the yoke doesn’t move in cockpit :rofl: strange.The throttle quadrants just need to figure out the problem

Has anyone figured out how to Increase and decrease the fuel and payload in the aircraft EFB using the Xbox gamepad yet? Because of the lack of a mouse scroll wheel so far I have not been able to set Individual quantities for cargo hold ect… But otherwise navigating the flight deck has been fine.

Just had my first Xbox DC6 flight from Newcastle to Edinburgh airport. Of course, the copilot did most of the donkey work, but I did start the engines and eventually land successfully after multiple fly overs to reduce my altitude…

Feeling pleased with myself

Thankyou yep this was my issue. Anyone running TCA quadrant throttles I’m having issue with DC 6 only

Is it just me or are the liveries gone?
They were there before the update.

Yes it’s gone, going to be back with a 4.99€ pack, as stated by RSR on Pmdg forum earlier today. It’s the minimum price set by MS apparently. All the details on their forum;)

Thanks for the update.

Im having the same issue ive been been controlling the throttle with my xbox controller as a workaround at the moment but would love to know if anyone has a solution

Haven’t got this yet, but I’m seriously thinking about it. Is it just me or does the prop animation look stilted and choppy?

Yeah a bit, it’s the same at the PC. It’s an early addon with little improvements since release, not sure if they will rework these kind of things. Other addons with more recent development do this much better, the FSW C414 comes to mind. But when the props are running it looks great IMO.

So am I to understand the only livery for the aircraft is the PMDG livery?

Edit: just read their forum post. It’s a real shame Microsoft will not allow any form of freeware onto the Marketplace. Now, to have some nice liveries to fly about in Xbox users have to make another purchase. Just makes everything more aggravating on Xbox.

Of course this isn’t PMDG’s fault.

It’s excellent only problems TCA airbus quadrant throttles don’t work I have raised a ticket with pmdg also atc is really messed up copilot doesn’t take control have to it manually plus can’t hear tower replies goes silent after takeoff

2 hour First flight after studying manuals and videos wow excellent attention to detail by pmdg few hiccups with atc and throttle issues but amazing to have this on Xbox very happy with purchase
