Hello alex40. Although I had an Alpha some time ago, I've never compared the deadzones in these two yokes.

Totally agree- the quality is very good (and the price is amazing 😁).

Oh... silly me. It's just that WinWing has just launched the 737 EFIS and I was discussing this matter with a colleague on a different forum... Sorry.

Just my five cents... There are no EFIS L and R units. There are "N" modules for the 737 NG and "M" modules for the 737 MAX as described quite clearly on WinWing website. So to get a full set (with MCP) you need to buy two identical "N" or "M" modules, depending on the 737 version they'll be used with. However on the well-known photo from WinWing both versions are shown as L and R EFIS modules, so the resellers are actively offering "N" as a Captain and "M" as a Co-Pilot modules. No comment...

Great! The symptoms you've described were clearly pointing to a mechanical slippage; I'm happy to be able to help 😀. As for the sensor difference- I have one of the early yoke designs and based on the discussions with Chris I know that he made quite a number of changes in later versions, including the sensor types.

Sure, done in the same Mega folder. Unfortunately I've replaced the stock sensors for the different ones already some time ago, so the close-up pictures of the original design are not available. However the new sensors have a similar design so I've added another picture where the sensor shaft/ back plug linkage is visible. Please note some copper foil I had to wrap around the sensor shaft to ensure the snug fit. Check that there is no slippage of the sensor shaft against the back plug when the yoke handle is rotated. Make a mark somewhere on the sensor shaft to simplify the task. It might also happen that the sensor itself is not fixed firmly to the mounting bracket with a nut so that the sensor body is rotating against the bracket (which seems a bit less likely).

What I would check first is the mechanical linkage between the tube and the roll sensor shaft. It sounds like the sensor shaft is slipping slightly against the tube's back plug so that the tube rotation is not translated to the sensor within a 90 degrees range from the center to a full anti-clockwise position. This would provide exactly the symptoms that you are describing. This applies to the first version of the yoke with TT6120 sensors (the black ones as on my photos).

OK, I've checked the roll deadzone on my TCA Yoke. If measured at the outmost of the yoke handle it's about 5 mm in total which IMHO is quite OK. I wonder what's the result on your unit? BTW- a dumb question: are you getting a big deadzone both in the sim and in the testing program? Typically the deadzones for all the axes are set quite big by default in all the sims. I've also checked TM Target- the deadzones there are set to 0 by default for TCA Yoke, so it won't help.

Hi @TomaszBartchie and welcome to the club! Honestly speaking, I haven't checked the deadzone difference after changing the sensor, also because the TCA Yoke is not my main one- I am usually flying with a Fulcrum (heavily modified), which in my opinion is well ahead of any other non-feedback yokes in the market. It might well be that TM used a deadzone to cope with a non-linearity of AH49 which is most sensitive around the center position. One thing that comes into my mind is that the possibility of adjusting the response curves to reduce the deadzone is built into TM Target software (if I am not mistaken, as I didn't use Target for quite a long time). Please give me some time to pick the yoke out of storage and play with Target- I'll be back with the results.

WinWing website product page -> "Applicability" -> "Continuous Updates for Aircraft Compatibility" -> "Click to Check the Latest Update".

On this page go down to a "Record-breaking, dual-mode display drive" picture and there you'll see the "MCDU Platform Compatibility Schedule" with a "Click to view details" box.

No they don't, and AFAIK they are not planning it. The metal grip (MCG Ultimate) is a 95-% replica of a real one which is used in SU-57 fighter; they didn't want to spoil the realism😀. Well, almost, as the real-life grip is plastic, not metal, but after the success of the plastic version (MCG/ MCG Pro) the demand for the metal one was high (inspired by the Thrustmaster cougar/ Warthog/ F-18). The SCG, on the contrary, was aimed at a much wider range of simulators, including the space ones- hence both the right-hand and the left-hand ones were available from the start of production.

As said in the title- when trying to connect, the message pops up: "Connected to: A320 L (or R) MCDU" and then the screen goes black. It works fine with all the other aviaCDU's I have licensed (Aerosoft A320, PMDG etc.). Prepar 3Dv4, aviaSERVER v19.2.4.0. Any suggestions on why it happens?

"High grade" are the key words here; and BTW, Warthog gimbal is all-plastic of much worse quality which is prone to breaking with heavy use...

Hi! 1. The calibration is explained in the AS5600 datasheet (Page 23- Angle Programming Through the OUT Pin). Please note that in addition to the red jumper that you can see on my pictures #7 and #8 you'll also need to connect the two upper leftmost contacts on the PCB to set the output voltage increase with a magnet clockwise rotation (I've just put a drop of solder there). The wire loop that can be seen on the pics is connecting the PGO pin to the ground to put the chip into programming mode; it should be cut off after the calibration. 2. I used PETG, but PLA or ABS will do as well. Regards, Sergey
