How to setup the Airbus TCA Throttle Quadrant for the PMDG 737 and 777 - MSFS 2020

In todays video I walk you through how I have my Thrustmaster TCA Throttle Quadrants configured to work with the PMDG Boeing 737. I use the PMDG Boeing 737-800, but it should work for all variants. I also remain hopeful that this will work with the upcoming 777 from PMDG, but time will tell on that one!
I use the “Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition” joystick when I fly Airbus and the "Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing Editing" when I'm flying Boeing, or anything that uses a yoke, along with the “Thrustmaster TCA QUADRANT AIRBUS Edition” throttle quadrant with a set of Logitech Flight Rudder Pedals.

Using the "decrease" to move the throttle to reverse is just brilliant! Thank you!

@Jalkur83 23 дня назад

I bought the PMDG-777 as my first Boeing or even Aircraft with an irl yoke a week ago and since then I was trying to set up my Thrustmaster Officer Pack and you are the first one to actually get it perfectly explained and working! Thank you so much!!!

@simpilotspud8296 7 месяцев назад

Wow! FINALLY. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get this to work and now my reversers are working just like they would in the Airbus which makes it so much easier! Just tested this on a rejected take off and everything worked perfectly! Thank you!

@quentinbouillet6218 6 месяцев назад

It does work, but it seems that you have to start the engine to see it working entirely. The reversers won't work when you are on cold and dark on the apron.

@tonyevans2967 4 месяца назад

Very good tutorial. As I am sure you are aware, you can adjust the sensitivity so that Reverse Thrust is not always at 100%, it can be graduated exactly as you want by where you put the levers in reverse thrust, exactly like the forward thrust.

Thank you for this. My only issue now is that I have to check reverse axis to make it go in the correct direction, whenever I'm out of reverse thrust my plane shoots forward for some reason, and everytime I exit the menu back into the game no matter where the stick is, it's always full power.

you can actually remove a little element out of the bottom of the throttles which can remove the detents

@devinconway4512 6 месяцев назад

ABOUT THE DETENTS!! If you want to remove them, you can find 2 plastic pieces under the quadrant held in with two screws each. They are right under the actual levers themselves. You can un-screw these and remove the detents as a whole. When you want them back, just simply screw them back in. The ridges should be facing up towards where the levers would be at 100% throttle

@AirNOTT 6 месяцев назад

Yep, very true. Though i switch between Boeing and Airbus quite a lot so it may get annoying switching them out

I am really desperate... I have seen this tutorial and other one which are same settings, but even if I follow 100% all the steps, its not working for me - the IDLE to TOGA works fine, when I engage REV buttons and move to REV, PMDG will respon with REV idle (first position) and then its stuck here no matter what... I have to click with mouse to the REV lever in order to get the throttle back in control :(

@kingbarnab344 10 месяцев назад

Once i delete the binding in MSFS i cannot rebind the throttles as i can only bind buttons...Can you explain how you mapped engines 3 and 4 to the quadrant?

Nice Video, I almost got it working, however the reversers in the aircraft gets stuck (id say about 20 percent extended) when I enable reverse thrust on my physical throttle. I did bind Buttons 12 and 16 to Thottle 1/2 Decrease. The only way I can unstuck it is by manuelly resetting the thrust reverse levers inside the aircraft. Did something similar happen to any of you and does anybody know how I can fix that problem? Maybe there is a setting inside the aircraft that I missed?

@crazydanz 7 месяцев назад

Try giving this a shot. Flip the quadrant over and remove the 8 black screws that hold the black plastic tabs into place. Remove those tabs and flip them around. This will then remove all the detents from the quadrant. You can then lock the reversers into the upright potion which allows you use to the full range of the throttles. I then simply bind the left side "auto throttle" button aka the red button on the left engine throttle. So that if you press and hold it.. It'll activate the reverse thrust. This also then allows full range of both the throttles allowing you to not just 100% reverse when not needed. You would need to create a separate profile for Boeing and Airbus in msfs and would need to unscrew the tabs each time. But I found you can do that while the sim is loading up.
