How to configure the Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle Quadrant for the FlyByWire A320 Airbus in MSFS 

Not only excellent information but expert delivery. Made the point, no waffle, and recap at the end. Perfect. A channel to subscribe to.

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💯

Also from me a big THANK YOU. After fiddling around for 2 hours almost getting there but not quite. This got me there so quick. Very much appreciated!

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

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!

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

Brilliant explanation on the axis and what to do, now I understand why I had throttles at climb mode from start up .

Deserves a medal for this tutorial.

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.

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 !

i love you. i was struggling with the settings for litterary months and now everything works perfectly

Straight to the point and just what I was looking for. Many thanks mate, you did me a favor!

Thank you very much for this detailed description❗️Without these instructions I would have been lost calibrating the throttles. Regards, Bo 🇨🇭

A beautiful tutorial. After over two hours of fiddling around you had me up and running in 10 minutes.

Hi Jonathan, I have struggled for a while to get these working even after watching this youtube videos i finnaly got it thanks ,Keep up the good work

this is by far the best tutorial i have seen in my entire life, thank you very much

Once again you’re a lifesaver, Jonathan. I was having a mare and you sorted stuff real quick.

The only one who made this video simple in whole RU-vid. Thanks mate

Thank you so much, can’t tell you how happy I am. Thanx Jonathan for this ❤❤❤

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 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 🥂

Bought the TCA throttle (dont have levers for flaps and spdbrk) few weeks ago. Followed the Thrustmaster official calibration guide. The device is a mess. Nothing works out of the box. Thanks to your video I was able to set the throttle axis. But the eng switches and starter switch (crank-norm-ign) did not work. Defaultly set to heading but set and hold (LOL). The eng switches for fuel in/cut off were set as avionic master 1 and 2. Total BS by TM. For those who have the tca airbus throttle quadrant at the same state = unusable. Follow this guide. 1) Clear everything 2) Set throttles according to this video 3) find setting set engine master 1/2 and set engine 1/2 fuel valve and map it to the engine switches (2 silver switches with square top) - works in Fenix as well. 4) To set up the crank-norm-ign starter knob you have to firstly set crank (button 7 moving the knob left and center) then set the ign/start (button 8 moving right and center) and lastly set engine norm mode and you have to set BOTH buttons 7 and 8 here (primary and secondary) and you have to change the action type "on press" to "on release" 5) Take a beer. You deserve it.

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?

Thanks bro! I was trying to find this type of tutorial for 2 months and finally found it:) Thanks mate one more time!

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 RU-vid channel. Cheers, George

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 :)))

My throttle detents work perfectly, thanks to you! Much appreciated.

Thank you, excelent and concise explaination, looking forward to setting this correctly and potentially getting setup on IVAO this week!

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.

Thank you sooo much!!! You helped me so much! I’ve been looking for this video the hole day, thanks

Thanks so much i was looking all over youtube for this and you helped me so much!

Great work. Thanks for the beginner friendly and patient explanation. With your instructions, it worked right on the first try.

Damn bro, i have never heard someone sooooo damn precise! Thnx for everything!!!

Well done Jonathan. You've saved me hours of troubleshooting with the FBW setup. A thousand thanks!

Thank you so so much mate! I had so many troubbles and u solved every single one!!!

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the amazing video! Very, very helpful 😀 Wondering how you manage the tiller on the Airbus? I find the steering on the ground using just the rudder axis to be very lacking and not precise enough and as I am flying an A330 around I don't need to use the rudder inputs aside from the takeoff and landing roll. Do you have some way of getting the tiller to work so that I can have full control over the NWS?

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!

Fantastic explanation. Be best and simplest I've ever seen. Solved my problem. Congrats!!!!!

Amazing video, could you do a configuration tutorial (for the A320) on the thrust master rudder pedals.

Hi What a superb video. I was pulling my hair out over setting these up for ages. Just one question I struggling to find the calibration page anywhere. I'm trying to set up the A320 Fenix aircraft. Any thoughts?

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.

Thanks, after several videos you are the right one!

Great & Simple Explanation.... Thanks very much.

Perfect tutorial, everything worked just fine, thanks

Thank you for the great information. I could not figure this out for the life of me. Your video was perfect. Thanks again.

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

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

Really helped and was a great step by step process on how to do it. Thank you!😁

Spent hours trying to figure it out but thanks to your vid they now work

Thank you my friend, just what I needed to know :)

I love youuuuuu. U saved my whole msfs journey ❤

Great Job. Very useful information.

Great help and it works very well, thank you

Tysm man! Really helped me out

Thanks for the clear and to the point explanation. It worked.

Hi Jonathan, you made my day! Thx a lot!!!

Thanks Jonathan, it was driving me crazy.

So useful and beautifully explained, cheers

Great video Jonathan, thank you so much. New subscriber here. Joystick working the middle of the thrustmaster quadrant working. I'm so close. Just to the left and right of the throttle section aren't working. Any ideas? Appreciate any help you can offer. I think I have DL the drivers correctly. Thank you.

Great tutorial, thank you!

Thanks for this video, my throttle stopped working and doing it your way fixed the issue.

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.

Thank you so much Jonathan, really helped a ton mate. Thanks!

Extremely helpfull, thank you!

thanks. made my day this problem seemed impossible to fix :)

Thank's for doing this video, I've just received my TCA Airbus Captain's pack. You mention in the video about the graphics maybe wrong and not showing the flaps or spoiler addon sections. In my MSFS it not even showing the throttle quadrant as shown in your video, do you know or anybody else know of any way of correcting this? The TCA sidestick shows OK.

Man I. So glad I found this vid, thank you sir!,,

Is this same process necessary with the Fenix A320? Or does it work properly with the default Fenix A320 profile?

You sir are a genius thanks you so much for this

What a superb video, thanks for saving my sanity!

Amazing You Are A Life Saver!

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.

A perfect guide again. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the information provided. Very helpful. Do you know how to fix it in the Xbox?

Thank you for this video!

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! Doing only first step made it for me

Thank you Jonathan for a very helpful video, my throttle quadrants now work flawlessly. I've got a very strange problem with the Thrustmaster joystick. No matter how I try I cannot set up the rudder, there is no subtlety in it at all, it's either full left or full right. It's an absolute nightmare trying to taxi, I'm all over the place !!! Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?

Thank you for this! I was pulling what’s left of my hair out…

good afternoon dear, thank you very much for this complete tutorial and for taking the time to explain. I wanted to ask you for help with something, I followed all the steps of both the axix sensitivities settings and the configuration steps, of the controls on the plane's ipad, the problem that I could not solve is that the throttle lever, I It remains too sensitive, so if I raise it, for example, a little beyond idle, the plane gives me too much acceleration range, I set each point on the iPad with the percentages that you indicate, but even so, I stay with Too much acceleration, how could I solve this? thank you.

Thanks Jonathan.....That was awesome!

Thank You soooooooooooooooooooo much

THANK YOU!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

It all worked fine except the gear lever does not work i looked it up and it said once it doesnt work you cant fix it since its hidden coding. Any help?

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

Easy to understand. Thank you!

Just got them todsy, thank you so much man👍

Great advice bro keep up the good work

Great video. Thumbs up!!

Hello. Do you know how to assign APPR. AND LOC. Ro one of the bottoms?

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.

Thank you, Jonathan! You've saved me again lol

That was perfect! Thank you good Sir!

I LOVE YOU! TY SO MUCH FROM ARGENTINA

Thank you for your help😁

worked great for me thanks

Thankyou very helpful

did u have to unscrew and rotate the notches at the bottom of the quadrant? because by default the throttles are stepped to 4 positions.

Thank you man! You rock!

If anyone knows how to help please do, I got mine today and i plugged everthing to the xbox and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried to look at the controls but there’s only the side stick not the throttle quadrant. Please help😢
