April 20, 20224 yr Hi everyone, Does anyone here know if there a way I can increase the resistance of the TCA Boeing thrust levers? I couldn't find the answer in the manual, on Google, or on the AVSIM search bar, and I'm trying to save myself the minor inconvenience of creating an account at Thrustmaster's website. Thanks for any answers! Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

April 21, 20224 yr Maybe apply some damper grease? My TCA bus do have adjustable screw, but adding some grease to the friction part does made it more smooth.

He’s not trying to make it smoother. In fact the throttle is already smooth since it has hall sensors. He is trying to make it more resistant. Tougher to push. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Tougher to push. The grease would make it more resistance, and for most plastic friction surface, also more smooth.

Where is your screw for the airbus tca to adjust resistance? My buddy just got one and said there was not an adjustable screw. Are you sure that you aren't looking at a mounting screw? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

In the front, it adjust a spring loaded friction damper for resistance, I applied some grease there and loss a little on the screw, thus keep same resistance but much smoother than dry friction.

I'll let him know on the friction adjustment. I'm not going to add any grease however since boeing throttle already smooth and a hall sensor. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
