Issues setting up Thrustmaster TCA Throttle Quadrant

The FSUIPC tool is initially confusing. Are you basicly familiar with it? If not, I recommend this thread:

If you are familiar with assigning and calibration of the thrust lever axis, you may better understand the procedures in FSUIPC.
On the right hand side of the tool, you can pick ranges and set them to “Axis Throttle 1 Set” (and Axis Throttle 2 Set for Engine #2) under the “from to” boxes. There is a drop down menu, where to choose this command. Enter the target position (for example detent #1 of your TCA Quadrant) and repeat the steps for the remaining positions and detents and of course the 2nd thrust lever.

My game crashed, when I switched the Profile of the Quadrant. Anyone else same?

Ah, so that’s what the right side of the window is for? That’s great, thanks!

Just one question, though: what’s the parameters used for the Throttle Set? Do I put in the numeric input value of the throttle lever at whichever position it does what I want it to do, e.g. when TOGA engages at a physical throttle lever position of, say, 13000, but I want it to engage at the detent that’s at, say, 14000, then 13000 is my parameter and 14000 - 16383 the range?

If it is not on Crank or IGN/Start then it is automaticly on Norm, can’t be any other state. So that shouldn’t be hard to figure put.

im having issue now where by the throttle levers are not at 0 unless i hold them back any idea how to sort this

I switched to default profile in the settings menu. But also here, no engine starters working. But also my reverse thrust is too early, it isn t correctly assigned. How can I change this because there are no calibration tools, or ?

If I move the throttle back to about 30% my reverse thrust engages…Any ideas ?

You’re welcome.
Finding the proper values is a time-consuming try and error process, which took me at least one and a half hours. You are right with your question.
An example:
Move one thrust lever to “clb”. Now click on the button “From”, which enters value. Move your throttle slightly within the detent and click on “To”, which gives you a very small area for a better detection. After that you have to enter your target throttle position, which has to match the detent position of the A320 throttle in Flight Simulator.
Don’t forget: You loose the “free” throttle setting between idle and the first detent clb! You have to set 5 fixed throttle settings for this area. WSUIPC7 is limited to 10 action ranges.

all my detents are fine its my idle i have to physically hold throttle 1 back to bring it to idle if i let go it goes to 3% again but it varies between 3 and 7 % but when i hold them back goes to idle again so basically if i hold the throttles back it will stay at idle im not doing that ive tried to fix it trough fsuipc but no luck

I’ve removed the flybewire mod and the engine master switches now work and although the mode switch doesn’t return to norm, the other positions now work.

I have the same problem

increase the deadzone for the throttle axis. I’m on 9% and its working fine now.

They’re on it.

Maybe help them figure it out?

Hi,

I have two problems.

  1. when I push eng starter 2, that nervous move on and off and nothnig happens with the engine 2
  2. If a push eng starter 1, both buttons move to the on position but again, nothing happens with engines

I have to use the mouse to start engine 1 and 2 and then works, but nothing with the throttle.

Anybody ave found a solution?

Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for your help.

Just wondering where exactly in FSUIPC7 do you enter the ‘target throttle position’ for each detent range?

Thanks

Ahh I think it is ‘parameter’ window. I tried putting a value in there before and it didn’t work, but now I think I got it working finally. :slight_smile:

As said above, choose in the drop down menu “Axis Throttle 1 Set” (2 Set for the 2nd axis) and enter the target value.

Hi,

Thanks, I had axis throttle 1 set in the drop down menu but just wanted to check where the target value is entered. For example to get the climb detent position in the sim to match the climb detent on the thrustmaster quadrant, I have a value of 12800 in the parameter window (just under the drop down menu for axis throttle 1 set) for my climb detent range and that seems to work.

Same thing happanes in FSX with Aerosoft A320, 20% idle.

what do u mean profile to normal

When is the mfs2020 settings, in the quadrant, you can switch different profiled so usr the official, not a custom one
