Hey everyone,

Will it be fully compatible with the Airbus Thrustmaster series?

So all three products?

Regards Luca

Yes, there should be no incompability. If there is, please report back and we wil lget it fixed 🙂

I calibrated the Thrustmaster TCA and the only issue I have is when I checked the external view, the engines are slightly in reverse. If I nudge the throttles forward a little, reverse closed. I tried calibrate 5 times with the same results 

Try a sim restart after calibration.

I also have the same problem, when the calibrated throttle is held in the IDLE position, the reverse thrust keeps opening and closing slightly, with infinite cycles. I have restarted sim and it has no effect.

I also have the same issue. It seems that if you put idle to be at idle reverse and then put idle reverse halfway between max reverse and idle it kinda helps out. Not ideal though since your throttles are not truly idle at that point.

Hello Captains,

 

I have the TCA Capt set up. What I did to eliminate the problem was under controller settings changed the profile so it was directly assigned and renamed to A300 . This will allow the settings to identify your aircraft and not get it mixed up with another add on such as Fenix or Flybywire . Give that a shot and recalibrate it. Let me know if this resolves your problem. 

The problem is still there

There is a configuration file for the TCA in the Airbus folder. I know there is a way to manually modify it little bit. Someone posted under the A310 info at one point. 

Here is a link. The config file is a little bit different. I wonder if we can get this method working for the A300.

Thank you chaps 

I have the same issue and nothing seems to work. Not creating a new profile or adding the -0.5 to the reverse idle. I guess I´ll get use to the plane taxiing on idle over 20fpm while the engines keep changing between idle and a bit of reverse.

Yea it’s quite frustrating. I’m constantly on the brakes to keep below 30kts ground speed.

I have the AB TM and the A300 and it works fine. Yoo need to reconfigure the TM to not use the detents and also calibrate for having reversers on the axis.

If you have not calibrated the Hardware in OS and updated it prior that would be of suggestion. Alot of times we think plug and play right of the bat is the way to go. Here are a few links to assist with getting everything properly calibrated ( noted only in MSFS2020 will the calibration not suffice).  Hope this helps.

I tried calibrating my throttles but when the throttle is idle, the engines still generate thrust. I'm constantly riding the brakes while taxiing. Hopefully there will be a fix or tutorial on how to set up the TCA throttle and sidestick for the best experience.

I posted several links above for the calibration process. You can download the TCA Config file and adjust your number accordingly.  Important is the sensitivity settings in your sim, the profile your using to calibrate , the calibration of your hardware by itself and making sure it's updated the software.  Try these first should you have problems still after making further attempts let me know. 

For the people who are complaining that the aircraft will accelerate through 30kts at idle, that is what the real aircraft will do. In theory we should always taxi without adding power then let the aircraft accelerate up to 30kts, then brake it down to 10kts and then let it accelerate again etc. In reality it sometimes takes a little power to get moving, but the idea is sound.

Idle still provides significant thrust.
