Logitech/Saitek Throttle Quadrant - A nice little setup

I just got my brand new TCA Officer pack Airbus edition. And I have to say I love it. But that’s because I fly almost exclusively with the A320 in the sim. I really love the realistic detents which took me 2 hours to play around the sensitivity to make sure the detents in the quadrant matches the detents in the sim. Once that’s set up. It feels really nice using it. But I can see why it’s kind of useless for single-engine GAs.

The only thing I regret from the thrustmaster is how fragile it is. I received mine and I find it’s lacking in the throttle resistance. So when I screwed the tension adjustment a little, the screw just breaks and the throttle is loose now. Far looser than when I pull it out the box. I know I’m stupid for doing it before I even set it up the first time. But at least the detents are there to keep my throttle in place. But if I remove the detents, there’s no way the throttle can hold position for any other aircraft like Boeing or GA.

I also have a Logitech X-56 that I use for everything else. but for Airbus, I’m using the thurstmaster.
