I dismantled the throttle quadrant and added some dry lube i used for bicycle chain. Now it feels smoother. Need to remove the bottom 5 screws and pull out the selector knob.

Was the issue in the switch or in the plastic knob-to-housing fit?
The additional clicking sound actually came from the 3 metal switches which looks like ball bearings. I guess i canāt do much to it.
Is it an issue where the white plastic tab on the bottom of the knob is too narrow and sort of gets caught in a mid-way-between-the-ball-bearings position and adds those two additional mid-way detents?
It seems like the tab should have been made wider to prevent it āfallingā in between the ball-topped switches.
Hey all. My yoke and quadrant just showed up today.
Iāve got a question. The documentation says that the quadrant and TFRP pedals can be connected directly to the back of the yoke. However, when I do so, Iām not seeing them show up on the PCās Thrustmaster control panel. The only way they do, is if I plug them all in via USB directly to the computer. Iām running out of USB ports!
Has anyone had success with them being plugged directly into the yoke and then the yoke being the only one of the three plugged into the computer?

Absolutely love it and Iām currently running it on Xbox series s, the throttle quadrant build quality is nothing like the yoke but rather feels like a toy when pressing the buttons. The yoke itself an absolute joy and incredible immersion feeling.

Im having fun with it, too. Itās a change from a Hotas flightstick. Im really not used to the feel of the yoke.
Iām pretty into the fact that you can gang two throttle quadrants together and have four throttles (very useful for the DC-6 and 747), the speed brake and the flaps lever all at once. The additional AP controls could definitely be put to use for Baro, VS, etc.
Iām temptedā¦

If I do it they appear as some kind of virtual software in win10. Dont know if there are any disadvantages.
Thatās not happening for me in Win 11.
Iāve got a ticket in with Thrustmaster. Weāll see what comes of it.
Yes, i guess that could be one of the reason. Probably they should make it smoother since there are already detents within the rotary knob itself. The additional detents at the ball bearing gave it a secondary detent. I think thrustmaster wants to make sure the detents sits nicely on the ball bearing positions.
For anyone facing a similar issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Thrustmaster software and the issue was cured.
Looking for input on two related topics:
-
Dead zone in the yokeās aileron axis (Joystick L-Axis X)
-
Sluggish feel of aileron input
On point 1 Iāve eliminated the default dead zone percentage and have it set at 0%, yet it seems like it has an awful lot of free play in the axis before you see any reaction in the ailerons as you turn the yoke left or right. Combining that large free play area with the sluggish reaction of the yoke when turning, it all feels like Iām chasing the aircraft rather than controlling it.
Anyone have any suggestions in regards to tuning this?
Can any one here who has this yoke please share your sensitivity settings for me Id really appreciate it
Iāve got the Aileron Axis (Joystick L-Axis X) set to +50% on both sliders and the dead zone at 0%. Iām still trying to find the right spot for this. As I mentioned in the post prior to yours, that Iād been feeling like the controls were sluggish and I was chasing the plane with them.
I set the dead zone for Elevator Axis (Joystick L-Axis Y) to 0%, as well. I havenāt really begun to fine tune the elevator axis, yet, as the ailerons have been what have bothered me the most, so far.
In all cases, Iāve not done enough flying yet to get a good feel for how the yoke telegraphs movement to the control surfaces. This is my first yoke and Iām so used to years of flightstick feel, that Iām a bit out of my element. I need more time with it. Iām struggling to adjust to how different it feels.
On the throttle quadrant, I set the dead zone for all three of the throttle levers at 0%, as the default of 5% causes a dead spot at the 50% point in their travel.
What are your impressions?

My decent and climb i have set seems good its just i cant get the right hit on my turn settings As you said just seems a little bit sluggish
These are my settings on the yoke im using right now
Hi captains,
If you happen to have the Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke, I would truly appreciate your feedback with regards to using it to fly non-airliners in MSFS.
While I fully understand that this yoke was built with the 787 in mind, what I would like to know is, if I were to purchase this yoke, and if on certain days I had the urge to get into a propeller or turbo prop and fly it using this yoke, would that be ok, or would it be unsuitable?
You see, I initially jumped into simming because I love airliners. Since starting my simming journey 2 months ago, however, I decided to start with propellers to get a hang of the basics, and Iāve been using the default Xbox controller for this. Iām still taking it nice and slow on the Cessna, but with the aim of slowly moving up to other planes and eventually the big jets, in my own time. So, the Boeing yoke sounds like a God-send for my eventual goal of piloting a jetliner.
However, I just wanted to make sure if I purchased this yoke now, and start using it with my Cessna and other planes, I would still be better off than using the default Xbox controller and will not be at a loss enjoying the sim. Would love your views on this please! Many thanks

I have the Boeing yoke and it is fantastic for all types of aircraft.
I predominately fly the Carenado C170B and the Embraer EMB-110 and the yoke is perfect with them.
Iāve been able to make a huge amount of keybinds using the various buttons, which has made the usefulness of them even better.
You wonāt regret the purchase.

Any joystick (even the cheapest one) is still better for controlling aircraft than an Xbox controller. As long as you can be sure the joystick/yoke is compatible to work with your Xbox, you should be better off.
So the Thrustmaster Boeing yoke is just as fantastic to use for Cessna and other planes including the Airbus A320, just like my Logitech Extreme 3D pro, or my Thrustmaster Airbus works just as fine when flying the 787 or Cessna too.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I saw a post you made in this forum on the button assignments āthanks for sharing that too. Iāll certainly be looking at them when my yoke arrives (yes, I ordered it!). Hopefully Iāll settle into it without issues
