Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition Review

#thrustmaster #quadrant #airbus
This is a review of Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition that has been released few weeks ago. I bought this product and I've been testing since I received couple of days ago.

Thanks a lot for the review mate. I appreciate raw content, it helps with having realistic expectations when buying a product. Good luck!

Thanks for a review.I also have Microsoft FSX stream edition and I preordered this TCA Quadrant. Sad to hear that it also doesnt work well in FSX :( Hope that Thrustmaster will solve this also for FSX....

Glad I could help and sorry for late reply.

Thanks for the video. There is a calibration procedure from Thrustmaster where you lock the two levers together using the supplied lock tool and calibrate directly on the Quadrant (no external software involved). From the Thrustmaster support site (where you download the manuals for the TCA Quadrant), see the following PDF file. It has a link to a KZbin video. I have linked both below. I don't own a TCA quadrant, so I haven't tried this, but I imagine it solves the issue of the throttles not being equal at idle. Calibration manual (PDF): ts.thrustmaster.com/download/accessories/manuals/TCA_Quadrant/TCA_Quadrant-Throttle_Calibration.pdf Video on Calibration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIesZ5mvatytpJI I wonder if some units weren't calibrated properly at the factory. I mean the HOTAS Warthog, for example, would have the same issue, but they calibrate it at the factory. There is a procedure for re-calibrating it, but Thrustmaster generally doesn't publish it as it shouldn't be needed normally. To be clear, this has nothing to do with Windows game controller calibration. With a controller like the Thrustmaster Warthog, TCA Quadrant, etc., they should be calibrated at the factory and never need calibration again. They all use hall effect sensors (what they call the H.E.A.R.T. system) which maintains accuracy over time. You don't want to use Windows calibration for a device like this as it will only cause problems.

noo it dont work

[@suzyengelen2048]

So I bought the throttle, it works perfectly on any other sim but when I load up p3d with this throttles the buttons are aligned to a really weird position, for example when I throttle up the views change. Do you know,how to fix that?

[@navidhosseini3498]

@suzy Engelen You have to delete all the button assignments in the setting for every category then go through and set the button to what you want but make sure to delete all the buttons already assigned.

[@aquamich129]

Hi Mate, the levers are supported in MSFS2020. And all the buttons can be mapped

[@glasswings21]

What about the engine one and engine two also the starters?

[@aquamich129]

@@glasswings21 you can map them but it's true that the sim has complicated settings. I found strange to have so many simimlar keys (set engine master, set starter, set engine fuel valve, toggle engine...)

[@glasswings21]

@@aquamich129 thanks, and also what settings are you using your quadrant in? I am still tweaking the quadrant to provide ideal sensitivity settings

[@aquamich129]

@@glasswings21 I don't touch sensitivity because i am not sure asobo understand how to manage axis. every release brings new bugs

Yes, it´s small and It looks like a plastic toy. LOL

In a real a320 the Levers ARE ALWAYS ASYNCHRONOUS by 0,2 - 0,3 %. Always. 🙄
