Thrustmaster TCA throttles (Xbox X) reversers!

I am trying to get the reverse thrust controls to work on my TCA in the Inibuilds A321LR i have calibrated them in the tablet and thrust work fine in all the detentes but it will not go into reverse thrust!
I have had these a while so i know the bindings are good and they work in 2020, is this something i am doing wrong or is this not possible on the A321LR at the moment?

Do NOT connect the TCA Quadrant to a USB port
If necessary, remove the connections of the spoiler and flaps add-on if you only want to configure the throttle. Otherwise, connect the 2 SATA cables.
The TCA set is not connected to the PC; USB-C is not connected; USB-A is in the PC.

Set the UP/DOWN switch to the DOWN position

Connect both throttle axes to the attachment

Set all axes to the bottom position

Press the button under ENG2 with your left hand and hold it, then insert the USB-C into the Quadrant with your right hand; Only then release the push button

Now slide all the axles to the top position …

… TOGA and press the two red buttons on the throttles

… FLEX and press the two red buttons on the throttles

… CLIMB and press the two red buttons on the throttles

… IDLE and press the two red buttons on the throttles

Now we go to the spoilers. Spoilers in RET position

Put the switch in the UP position and back to Down

Spoilers in position 1/4
Put the switch in the UP position and back to Down

Spoilers in position 2/4
Put the switch in the UP position and back to Down

Spoilers in position 3/4
Put the switch in the UP position and back to Down

Spoilers in position FULL (4/4)
Put the switch in the UP position and back to Down

Now press both buttons under the ENG switches to save the settings.

Remove the accessory that connects the throttles
The Quadrant is now hardware calibrated.

CALIBRATE THE THROTTLES AND FLAPS IN THE FENIX A320
NOW START THE SIM
And follow the calibration in the MCDU

Great stuff thank you I will get this done nowđź‘Ť ( This works for Xbox also?)

Should work.

I have done this and they work on tha A320 V2 but NOT on the A321LR in MS 2024!

This was hardware setup; you need to execute the hardware settings and calibration in de the sim .

I have calibrated in the sim …works on the 320 but not on the 321, been using it on 2020 for ages so aware of how it is set up in sim. Appreciate you help but the issue is limited to one aircraft so I assume it is maybe a bug in the A321LR for Xbox.

If your throttle is set to THROTTLE 1&2 AXES (0%-100) change it into THROTTLE 1&2 AXES. Will give it a try today.



works for all A3xx

If you look at the Change Aircraft picture you see that the T.a320 Quadrant throttle presets are from A319 CFM… so if you save them when using any A3xx that will work. If you are on Discord FSE I will stream you.

Ok I take that back sorry , was not looking at that , which is reassuring , maybe I am not watching enough videos to bind all my A3xx properly as I do find the key bindings reset themselves and are a nightmare for not only me but a lot of people.

Thanks I will take up your offer , but at work now , so will go on discord later.
Best wishes :+1:

Actually , just went on your website , really informative , I will print this out and take it home and give it a go tonight , thank you very much indeed :grinning:


… WYSIWYG …

Just to be clear i am ONLY having this issue on one of the aircraft the A321LR, as you can see in these screenshots in the calibration screen my throttles are showing as in the idle reverse position but the throttle them selves are in idle.

I do not have this issue with the A320 NEO V2.



I do seem to have figured this out, the reverse thrust is actually engaging it is the throttle animation that does not always move so maybe just a small bug in there?

It does not matter what kind of aercraft it is… it is all due to calibration.
Start at TOGA towards MAX REVERS and click at the spots.
When that fails, you should calibrate the hardware first, before you start gaming.

It works in every other airbus except the A321LR…which part of this are you not understanding? I know how to calibrate it, i will take a video of what it does maybe it will be easier for you to understand what i am saying to you.
Appreciate your trying to help but you are not listening to what i am saying…the engines go into reverse thrust as it is calibrated to do so on the tablet, it is the actual animation of the throttles in the cockpit that do not move in relationship to the TCA hardware and only in one aircraft the A321LR!

Ok yes that is the calibration menu , i know how that works as like i said i have the A320 NEO V2 calibrated …it is the A321LR that is/was the issue…like i said before i DO know how to calibrate the throttles!

Hello, I use xbox to play msfs 2024, and use TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition. Trottle reverse cannot be used. I have tried setting it in EFB, but rev still cannot be used.Please tell me how to solve it, thank you

In which aircraft ? i use it on the airbuses and it is calibrated on the tablet.
