Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with the Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition controller. I’m hoping someone has run into this issue or found a fix, because I’ve hit a wall.
The problem:
My throttle controls on the quadrant device aren’t responding in MSFS 2024. Everything else on the controller works perfectly — flaps, landing gear, brakes, spoilers, etc. — but the throttles themselves are completely unresponsive once I’m in flight mode.
What I’ve tried:
-
I’ve mapped the throttles to Throttle 1 Axis (Button 11) and Throttle 2 Axis (Button 15).
-
Everything looks normal in the control settings — inputs register fine there.
-
I also tried using Throttle Axis (0–100%), but that didn’t help either.
-
When I test the controller in Windows’ game controller setup, all axes and buttons respond correctly.
What Thrustmaster support said:
I’ve gone through a fairly thorough troubleshooting process with Thrustmaster. Their conclusion: the hardware is fine and the issue lies within the game, since all inputs register properly in their diagnostics and in Windows.
So at the moment, I’m stuck with an expensive controller that’s fully functional everywhere except in MSFS 2024.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
