How can i use reverse Thrust on the new Thrustmaster Airbus Quadrant

Ok, so I think I’ve figured out how to get the quadrant reverse throttles working for Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. Here goes:

  1. Go into the controls option screen and then select the TCA Q-END controller column.
  2. Change the filter to show “All” rather than “ASSIGNED”.
  3. Goto the Power Management \ Throttle section and scroll to the bottom and find “HOLD THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST”
  4. Using both of the available columns, use the “select input” method to map buttons 12 and 16

Notes:

  • when you lift the reverse lever on the left throttle that then allows you to slide it down into the reverse section of its movement, when it hits bottom this is actually the quadrants “button 12”,and likewise for the right side throttle maps to button 16.
  • therefore during the game once you touch down and land, by lfting the levers and moving both throttles down into the reverse throttle position you actually “click” buttons 12 and 16 which will then “trigger” the hold reverse throttle.
  • When you move the throttles back forward into the zero position the reverse throttle stops.

This seems to work perfectly and as you’d expect. Hope this made sense and works for all of you.
