Thrustmaster TCA quadrant still not completely working

I tried all possible settings, can’t set it up properly. Do you have a setting to share ?

Sadly I don’t… I only fly the TCA quadrant exclusively for the A320. If I fly GA, I switch to my Logitech X56. The neutral thing is just a theory I had before though, which I got it working to set up the IDLE point the first time I got the TCA quadrant for the A320. I assumed it’s the same concept when reassigning the IDLE point in other aircrafts.

Hello Neo4316,
first and foremost, Happy New Year 2021 to all simmers.
you published a few days ago a configuration of ThrottleConfiguration as below:
[Throttle]
Log = true
Enabled = true
ReverseOnAxis = true
DetentDeadZone = 2.0
DetentReverseFull = -1.00
DetentIdle = -0.50
DetentClimb = 0.00
DetentFlexMct = 0.50
DetentTakeOffGoAround = 1.00
and I discover today another version:
[Throttle]
Log = true
Enabled = true
ReverseOnAxis = true
ReverseIdle = true
DetentDeadZone = 2.5
DetentReverseIdle = -0.90
DetentReverseFull = -1.00
DetentIdle = -0.40
DetentClimb = 0.00
DetentFlexMct = 0.50
DetentTakeOffGoAround = 1.00

I reconfigured with this last config but the on idle the plane advances, whereas before not
what should I do
thank you

In the previous config, the plane doesn’t move on IDLE. So this is wrong.

So in the new version, that’s exactly what it should be doing. On IDLE, the plane ‘should’ move. That’s how it is in real life. Pilots manage the taxi speed using the brakes.

thank you
I will keep your last configuration but I have a problem with the NORM button for starting the engine
if i turn the TCA knob to IGN / START it works.
but if I turn the knob to NORM it doesn’t work (it doesn’t go back to NORM)
I don’t see where my problem is, thank you

You just need to delete your current profile. And bring the TCA quadrant to the default profile. Start a new flight, and test the engine mode switch using the default profile. It should work. Because it works for me now. Then once you confirm it’s working, you can duplicate the default profile and change teh sensitivity curve to linear 0 again and rebind the buttons you want.

And test the engine mode switches again afterwards. Just to make sure any custom bindings you made after that, doesn’t mess up the engine mode switches.

Additional note: there seems to be a bug in the A32NX mod with the heading and speed selectors after using the engine switches on the TCA throttle. You might only be able to manually adjust them in count by tens instead of single digits.

Even on clicks? I know that using the mouse wheel is always by tens, but clicks are usually by ones.

I’m very happy with how everything works now. Got the add-on for flaps/gear and all works fine, it’s a great set for the money.

dear Neo4316
I’m a little lost, which profile should I delete? (A32NX from the community folder?) What manipulation, thank you

No, nothing to do with the A32NX from the community folder.

From the main Menu, go to your Options, then Controls. Select the TCA Quadrant. And on the bottom menu press the Preset Manager. On the current control profile, delete the preset. Underneath the TCA quadrant on the control options, you should see “Default” now, not “TCA Eng 1-2” or something like that.

Once it’s set to Default, start a flight on the A320. Then test all the switches including the knob. If it works, then you can rebind other keys anyway you want. This will have the sim duplicate the default profile into a new control profile specific to your needs.

Ahh man… I wish I could get my hands on the addon… I’m still waiting for them to come in stock in Australia.

To be honest until now I only used the mousewheel to adjust heading/speed and it worked both ways (single/tens) but I will try it with clicks :wink:
If the bug only exists with the mousewheel, it won’t bother me too much.

Depends on the Hardware maybe. On my laptop mouse is 1 and on my desktop it’s 10…

I tried and it actually works with clicks when using the TCA throttle engine switches!
It’s just a little bit uncomfortable in comparison with the mousewheel but thats ok :slight_smile:

Neo4316 I am also waiting for my addon from Germany !!!

Also in the Netherlands.
There is hope that the add-on will be on the market in week 6 this year.

Yes, was very lucky to find one. I hope you can find one soon, good luck!

@PliantWings5288, got mine from Megekko, Sold out fast though.

I hope Thrustmaster boost there production to a next level.
For now it’s far below the worldwide demand. :sleepy:

I hope to have it this month, otherwise the shipping costs are half the price of the addon, really

Hi NCD3, can you explain shortly what do you mean they solved it with the template. I got today my add-on and nothing works. No flaps, no spoilers and no gear (I used the settings described in the map, which can be downloaded on the support page).

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards
