June 7, 20241 yr Hello, Has anyone using Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Sidestick for steering/tiller for the PMDG 737-800?? Before update 15 steering was great, easy to steer/turn/sharper/quick. Now after update it seems harder to steer/turn/sharper/quick. I have check the sensitivity, the 737 menu settings, ect. Can someone please help on this issue?? Thanx for your Help. Greatly Appreciated.
June 7, 20241 yr I personally wouldn't get used to the twist action axis on that stick. It's known to be poorly made and will 100% stop working eventually. Which is weird because the x and y axis on the stick is good. They went with hall sensors for those I believe. Are you sure this is a post SU15 issue and not the twist part finally wearing out on your stick? 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
June 7, 20241 yr Have to agree with @micstatic . I'm on my second TCA sidestick. I tried to repair the first one because of the twist axis issues but ended up making a dog's breakfast out of it. Bought a second one and a set of rudder pedals and disabled the twist axis on the stick. To your point, I don'y fly the PMDG that often but I have not noticed any ground steering issues post SU15 Edited June 7, 20241 yr by mobeans10
June 7, 20241 yr I also have a TCA side stick where the cheap pots they used for the twist axis got really noisy. I know it is not realistic but I use the roll axis now for the tiller as I have a Being Yoke. I would make a copy of your current control profile and disable the yaw axis and try assigning the tiller to the roll axis and see if it makes any difference.

June 7, 20241 yr correct but also easy to repair, mostly it's the wiring around the sensor causing jitter. I ended up having a huge deadzone. then I decided to open up the TCA joystick and with 15 min al was fixed. Plenty Youtube video's about this. I would say Thrustmaster design or quality control failure.

June 7, 20241 yr Same problem with the TCA stick twist rudder here. I took mine apart and rerouted the wiring and it was great for about 3 days. I'm going to have to do it again.
