Not only excellent information but expert delivery. Made the point, no waffle, and recap at the end. Perfect. A channel to subscribe to.
You're welcome!
I totally agree. You'll not find better.
you dont understand how much rage i had about his i searched evrery tutorial and found nothing but you have helped so much and i thank you for this tutorial u got a new sub💯
Got the Airbus stick and throttle quadrant today. Struggled to make the throttles work properly and a quick search on how to configure them brought me here. One watch of this video and some note taking, and I've got everything working perfectly. Thanks for the info - very helpful
Deserves a medal for this tutorial.
Hah :)
Thank you, Jonathan. Very well described instructions mate. I have liked and subscribed to your channel.
I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to calibrate for the FBW A32NX and watched quite a few videos to no avail, but yours was the one that did the trick.
As you mentioned, right out of the bat, set the sensitivity settings to 0, create a duplicate profile, and then CLEAR the Throttle L-Axis and Y-Axis (IMPORTANT), and reset them again. That did the trick for me. I was about to send the unit back thinking it was faulty, now I'll order the Quadrant addons. Cheers again!
You're welcome :)
Hi Jonathan, I have struggled for a while to get these working even after watching other youtube videos, but you made it so simple, so many thanks. Keep up the good work
Glad it helped
Thanks a lot again, Jonathan ! I wasn't aware of how the detentes were configured 'spatially', including idle, climb, cruise etc. At last I can now have the Quadrant set such...it doesn't have the aircraft wanting to be 'let out of the traps' at full pace anymore, as soon as I release the brakes ! ( I can't tell you how many times I've found it really awkward just trying to set the idle space in X-Plane 11, in MY ignorance...which obviously has a required 'knock-on' effect to keeping the aircraft idling on the ground, rather than 'running-away' as soon as I release the brakes !! ). Keep up the great work Jon' much appreciated !
this is by far the best tutorial i have seen in my entire life, thank you very much
You're very welcome!
Brilliant explanation on the axis and what to do, now I understand why I had throttles at climb mode from start up .
The only one who made this video simple in whole UA-cam. Thanks mate
THANK YOUU!!! I had to end stream on vatsim because when I pushed back it went full throttle on start up even though I was on Idle. Will link this video for my viewers! Cheers 🥂
i love you. i was struggling with the settings for litterary months and now everything works perfectly
Thank you very much for this detailed description❗️Without these instructions I would have been lost calibrating the throttles.
Regards, Bo 🇨🇭
Glad it helped
after hours of trying to find a fix for this same exact issue, you sir saved me some frustration, thank you so much for this video. WORKS 100% WITH THRUSTMASTER THROTTLE QUADRANT
Thank you very much for your great explanation! Now it has worked. For me, the new setting of the Joystick Axes was the most important point.
Thank you so much, can’t tell you how happy I am. Thanx Jonathan for this ❤❤❤
Straight to the point and just what I was looking for. Many thanks mate, you did me a favor!
You're welcome :)
Once again you’re a lifesaver, Jonathan. I was having a mare and you sorted stuff real quick.
You're welcome :)
Thank you for clarifying the reverse Idle setting and confirming that there is no detent for it. That part was not clear after watching a video from someone else.
Yeah - it can be confusing.
My throttle detents work perfectly, thanks to you! Much appreciated.
Thanks bro! I was trying to find this type of tutorial for 2 months and finally found it:) Thanks mate one more time!
Damn bro, i have never heard someone sooooo damn precise!
Thnx for everything!!!
Bro thx soooo much my man i had the problem that everytime i pressed esc the game did my throttle to max and know i fixed that Thx sooo much
Many thanks for this superb video - after days of having struggled with the recently acquired throttle quadrant. It's just unbelievable that the manufacturer's default is so hopelessly wrong!
Perhaps add the keyword 'detents' to this page?
A couple of things since there are new versions:
The reversers no longer show in virtual cockpit moving until you actually start the engines. Some update is responsible for this. I just wasted an hour figuring out why the reverse detent was not updating in the cockpit.
"Reverse Axis" is not the reversers. Its just reversing the analog direction (kinda like when you pull down on the stick to go up, and you can reverse that direction). By ticking this box you are assigning TOGO to IDLE for example.
I’m confused on the last part
Hello, an update to the software fixes the issue. The reversers now use the reverse axis. Hope this helps!@@Houncho5
Hi Jonathon
Thank you so much for this video on FBW A320 TCA quadrant setup. I have been struggling for days now and came across your channel. Top marks my friend.
I do wish the people at Thustsmaster would include instructions similar to yours or even attach a link to your UA-cam channel.
Cheers,
George
Heh - all I did was take a step back, figure out how the sim works, then figure out what the Thrustmaster does "out of the box", and how we can configure it :)
Thank you, excelent and concise explaination, looking forward to setting this correctly and potentially getting setup on IVAO this week!
Well done Jonathan. You've saved me hours of troubleshooting with the FBW setup. A thousand thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much Jonathan I needed this....Just bought and received my Thrustmaster Pro X and for the first time after pushback and roll to the active my airbus got away from me because the detents were not calibrated correctly
Thankfully setting up profiles and calibration is pretty straightforward.
Great work. Thanks for the beginner friendly and patient explanation. With your instructions, it worked right on the first try.
Perfect :)
Thank you very much Jonathan. I have been looking everywhere on a proper guide to set the TCA Airbus throttle quadrant up, and your guide helped! I have my throttle quadrant set up now and working. I am definitely subscribing! greetings from Hungary :)))
Glad I could help!
Spent hours trying to figure it out but thanks to your vid they now work
this solved most of the issue, but reverse is still not happening. (Fixed the reverse by switching it on and off in the iPad/electronic board throttle settings in the airplane itself.) Many thanks for this great video.
Fantastic explanation. Be best and simplest I've ever seen. Solved my problem. Congrats!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the great information. I could not figure this out for the life of me. Your video was perfect. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Thanks, after several videos you are the right one!
Thank you so so much mate! I had so many troubbles and u solved every single one!!!
Perfect tutorial, everything worked just fine, thanks
Great to hear!
Thanks so much i was looking all over youtube for this and you helped me so much!
Thanks for this video, my throttle stopped working and doing it your way fixed the issue.
Great to hear!
Really helped and was a great step by step process on how to do it. Thank you!😁
You're welcome!
Thank you my friend, just what I needed to know :)
No problem!
Thanks for this tutorial. I was going mad trying to get the controller to work and got it working correctly after/while watching this video. Have a cupa on me!
Thanks for the clear and to the point explanation. It worked.
Glad it helped
Thank you for this! I was pulling what’s left of my hair out…
What a superb video, thanks for saving my sanity!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you a million. This was a great tutorial that I have been looking for for a while. You are AWESOME. I’m liking and subscribing. Thank you again good sir.
You're welcome :)
Great help and it works very well, thank you
You sir are a genius thanks you so much for this
thanks. made my day this problem seemed impossible to fix :)
Great Job. Very useful information.
Thanks a lot, it worked but I had to uncheck the reverse boxes
So useful and beautifully explained, cheers
Thanks Jonathan, it was driving me crazy.
No worries!
Tysm man! Really helped me out
Amazing video, could you do a configuration tutorial (for the A320) on the thrust master rudder pedals.
Great tutorial, thank you!
thanks for that sir, my throttle controlls were all messed up, would not go into the detents, thank you!!!
Glad it helped
Great & Simple Explanation.... Thanks very much.
Thank you so much Jonathan, really helped a ton mate. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Extremely helpfull, thank you!
Hi Jonathan,
A remark and a question.
First of all I want to remark that I am very happy with this video ! Very clearly step-by-step explained.
I struggled quite a few hours (without getting good results) with these Airbus throttles, but after implementing your configuration -procedure they now work perfectly!!
Thanks a lot.
The question is about the spoilers and flaps.
In your video it is mentioned that if you make a duplicate of the default setup, the spoilers and flaps should work out-of-the-box also.
Unfortunately, that is not the case:
- Flaps handle in position 0 : ==> full flaps and all 4 other positions of the Flaps handle result in Flaps up
- Spoiler handle does not work at all
I tried to find a solution online, but not many people seem to have this problem.
Do you have a suggestion how to solve this?
No idea what's going on there. Do they work with other aircraft ?
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply.
As I was looking on internet if there were other persons with the same problem, I came across a very short video (1 minute) where someone set the throttles by simply moving the levers (including the flaps plus spoilers handles) through each detent, while clicking on the two red buttons at sides of the levers at every detent.
I followed that procedure (actually without much hope), but it worked !
Everything on the throttle quadrant (including flaps and spoilers) is now operational.
When I checked the sensitivites I noticed that the very strangely curved sensitivities were again applicable. My custom made FBW A320 profile is still active, but the sensitivites are reset to the standard and nevertheless the levers move nicely through the gates. I do not really understand this, but it works.
I am happy that my FBW A 320 can be flown smoothly again.
Remark 1: I do not have the Hotas drivers installed.
Remark 2: No, I do not have other aircraft ( the only aircraft I ever fly is the FBW A 320)
Thanks again for your great video ( I subscribed to your channel since your videos really stand out)
Kind regards,
THANK YOU!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you, helps so much!
The detente work but on the Display it only goes from idle to TOGA when in CLB even though in the cockpit it shows in climb.
Thanks! Doing only first step made it for me
A perfect guide again. Thanks!
Cheers!
Easy to understand. Thank you!
Man I. So glad I found this vid, thank you sir!,,
Glad it helped
Thanks for breaking my controls
There are literally hundreds of people here that have followed these instructions without issue. I have another video about configuring controllers somewhere - might be worth looking it up.
Thank you, Jonathan! You've saved me again lol
You're welcome :)
Thanks Jonathan.....That was awesome!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
No problem
I LOVE YOU! TY SO MUCH FROM ARGENTINA
Great advice bro keep up the good work
Hi Jonathan, you made my day! Thx a lot!!!
My pleasure!
Went through calibrating ok, different layout on the Flypad but saw the same options, detents as expected but found gear lever did not work so I tried keyboard, didn't work with that either, loaded one of the landing practice scenarios and gear lever worked with keyboard, had sidestick and quadrant disconnected at that point. Will start again :) gear lever works fine via joy.cpl
I'm always amazed that different people have different experiences with mapping controls - I never seem to have too much trouble with it.
@@jonbeckett Just in case you've never done what I've done, looking at the control options, it gives the name as shown in your video but only gives that name when connected directly to the PC, when it's connected via the sidestick it's called a quadrant not Eng 1&2. The settings also do not transfer for the same device when connected differently. I did find an issue with the switches controls and FlyByWire support confirmed the problem after I reported it and are looking at solving it. The other thing is the FlyPad layout has been changed but easy to solve.
Thank you so much!
No worries!
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure!
That was perfect! Thank you good Sir!
Very welcome!
when i put the levers forward and waiting for that bar to drop it does not drop it just keeps going up
Thankyou very helpful
Ty the only issue im having now is with the reverse throttle resetting to neutral and 100 percent.
worked great for me thanks
What’s with the reverse look? Makes you appear to be the captain in “left” seat.
he sounds like the voice actor for wheatley in portal 2
Just searched for that online - that's Stephen Merchant's voice - you might know him as the co-writer of The Office :)
What a great tutorial! If only you can do one or send me a msg on how to get the POV on the Thrustmaster Airbus side stick so that I may freely look around the cockpit. I had mapped my previous hotas, Rhino 55 to do that and worked well. Now I cant seem to map out the same in the Thrustmaster
I never program views onto the joystick :)
Thank you for your help😁
Great tutorial
Cheers :)
Amazing You Are A Life Saver!
Thank you, so much dear Captain. Appreciated your detailed video.
Thanks & best Regards
My pleasure
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I can get as far as the EFB and attempt to Calibrate the throttles in Full Reverse. When I click Set from Throttle, I get the dreaded Red Line, which says I have an overlap. I have attempted this fix several times with zero luck using an FBW A320 NX.
Thank You soooooooooooooooooooo much
Thanks a million!
Thank ya mate that was really helpful
Glad it helped
Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video!
I still having trouble
Thank you, Sir!
You are welcome!
