Cannot get Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle Quadrant to work

Featured Replies

I cannot get my Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle Quadrant to work. I have gone thru the firmware update OK and then the run thru setup as per video: 
https://youtu.be/jVI6fy5wzn0
but to no avail. It is always out of whack.
When I first touch the quadrant it goes into reverse thrust showing positions 12 and 16 on the Thruster Flight Control Panel but according to the manual 12 and 16 should be idle. When I put levers into idle nothing is selected on the Control Panel.
The thing is how do I change these settings so 12 and 16 are at idle not reverse thrust? 
I really hope somebody with the knowledge may be able to help me.
I enclose 4 pics which I hope will help in explaining what I mean.
Kind regards
Richard

Likewise, but I haven't even bothered with the calibration yet!🤭

Sorry that's no help to the OP. I can only suggest unplugging it, removing any drivers and Thrustmaster software you installed with it and starting the setup again after rebooting your PC.

OS:     Win11 Home; Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4; CPU: Intel i5-12400 (Alder Lake) 4.4 GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64Gb (4x16GB) 3600 MHz; GPU:  MSI Radeon RX 5700XT [8GB] 
SSD:  Corsair Force MP510 (for OS);  2x 1TB & 1x 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 (one for sim, two for addons)
HDD:  Seagate 3TB (Data); Seagate 1TB (Programs), ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B Curved 31.5" monitor, 1440p, 38Mbs ethernet 

Fulcrum One Yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle, Thrustmaster Airbus TCA sidestick & throttle, Logitech Pro pedals, Xbox wireless gamepad (1st gen)

It's had a really rough start when it came out and continues to cause issues for users.

Here's the thread you should be looking at on the official forum, as there appears to be work arounds if it doesn't work for you.

Good luck and I hope it helps.
