RJ and Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle

[Mark]

If the behaviour still exists with the linear sensitivity curves for the throttles, then that suggests it could be some sort of control assignment conflict.

I know the TCA throttle quadrant has quite a lot of control assignments set up in its default profile that can cause a variety of issues in any product that doesn't have the exact same throttle quadrant layout in the sim. For example, moving the fuel cutoff switches triggers the following control assignments:

SET ENGINE 1 FUEL VALVE
SET ENGINE 2 FUEL VALVE
SET ENGINE MASTER 1
SET ENGINE MASTER 2
SET STARTER 1
SET STARTER 2

I don't have a TCA throttle quadrant to hand at the moment, but I think it may also trigger the "THROTTLE INCREASE/THROTTLE DECREASE" control assignments at certain points on the throttle axis?

The best way to get around any potential control assignment conflicts is to create a new controller profile for the throttle quadrant within MSFS, then delete all control assignments from it except the THROTTLE AXIS assignments. If that fixes the behaviour you were previously seeing in the sim, then you can start to gradually add back in some of the control assignments you previously deleted.

Hope that helps.

Thanks i will try that. Thought i had every conflicting thing out of it. But will look into it again.

DIdn't work still moves to this position with only minimal movement of my throttle quadrant.

Are you able to share a screenshot of what your sensitivity curves look like for your throttles?

Like this they are fully into the reverse on the quadrant itself. If i touch them they instantly jump to the middle of the line.

[Mark]

They look like they should all be fine. Which THROTTLE AXIS control assignments are do you currently have assigned?

I would personally recommend assigning the THROTTLE 1 AXIS and THROTTLE 2 AXIS to your left throttle, and then THROTTLE 3 AXIS and THROTTLE 4 AXIS to your right throttle.

By default, the TCA throttle quadrant may be using the "THROTTLE X AXIS (0 to 100%)" control assignments (where X is the engine number), which can be troublesome, as I believe the 0% position with a linear sensitivity curve will equate to the 50% throttle position.

I have the Airbus throttle quadrant as well and can confirm what Mark said. Bindings have to be to throttle 1-4 axis and not 0-100%. Then on your quadrant unlock the reverser stop so you have full range of motion. The RJ doesn’t like the 0-100 binding.

I did put the assignments to the Throttle AXIS 1 to 4 now but still jump straight to the middle instead of going up linear. Only from the middle point they start to follow my in real life movement. Could this be a software issue in the Quadrant itself that i need to recalibrate something? But on default airplanes or the Fenix i don't run in this issue. What is a shame because i like the RJ other then that. I used to have it working too..

[Piussi]

i think the problem is within my Quadrant.. but i don't know how to fix it. i tried to recalibrate

here is a video what happens. it straight jumps to the middle and then only starts to go linear

It may be worth double-checking that there aren't any outstanding updates for the Thrustmaster software or the device drivers, and also checking if there are any sensitivity curves/deadzones applied within the Thrustmaster software itself.

Unfortunately, with it not being our software, we're limited with what support we'd be able to offer for it, but if you contact Thrustmaster support, they should be able to provide some assistance and troubleshooting steps.
