Ok, I’ll try these and I’ll let you know what happens

I just did what you told me and I worked.👍🏼 Thank you very much

Actually, i have made my first Flight and I encountered on problem. The speed brake kept deploying mid-air at random times, without me doing anything. Have any idea what that might be?

Do you have the speed brake / flaps add-on for the TCA quadrant. If so, and you recalibrated the thrust levers, as suggested, did you also recalibrate the speed brake? This was mentioned in the notes I posted. The full Thrustmaster calibration instructions for the quadrant with add-ons is at TCA_Quadrant-Throttle-addons_Calibration.pdf (thrustmaster.com)

No, no add-on, only the sidestick and the throttle 

OK. Not much else I can think of then, apart from ensure that you disarm the speed brake after take-off, and check that you haven't got a random key binding that might affect it.

Here are some notes I posted here a few months ago:

It's vital to take this step by step to determine the cause of the problem.

1) Check using the Thrustmaster control panel that each and every button is working, and that the thrust levers (and flaps and speed brake levers if you have them) show smooth and continuous movement across the entire range. If there is any problem at this stage go back and use the Thrustmaster calibration instructions from their website. If you have the flaps/speed brake add-on note there is a more extensive calibration procedure required.

2) Load up MSFS and check in options that the thrust levers are set to throttle 1 axis and throttle 2 axis - not the 0 to 100% variants. Again check that the display shows smooth and continuous movement across the whole range (don't forget to include the reverse position in your test). Sensitivity doesn't particularly matter at this stage as long as the levers show movement across the whole range. Make sure that you have NO OTHER controls bound to a throttle.

3) load up the Fenix and go through the calibration in the MCDU. Note that until you have completed the calibration I don't think you'll see any movement of the levers in the cockpit, but once they are calibrated you should see the movement you expect.

The above process should show you which part is not working properly. If 1 & 2 work but 3 doesn't then I'm afraid it's back to Fenix to diagnose.

 

The fact that you can't seem to calibrate the reverse thrust settings suggests that you need to go right from step 1 and ensure that during the Thrustmaster calibration you ensure that you pull up the reverse thrust levers and move the thrust levers fully back when setting the minimum values. Otherwise the calibration will only use the idle position as 0% and TOGA as 100%.

You are awesome - 4 hours and it was what you stated - thanks for info on calibrating the hardware itself 🙂
