Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus - reversers not working
-
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to configure my Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus throttle quadrant with the Just Flight F70/F100 Professional in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, but I can’t get the thrust reversers to work.
My current setup is:
- Throttle 1 assigned to Throttle 1 Axis
- Throttle 2 assigned to Throttle 2 Axis
- I am not using the “0 to 100%” throttle axis assignments
- Sensitivity is set to 0%, reactivity 100%
- I have created a dedicated MSFS control profile for the F70/F100
- I have checked for duplicated throttle bindings on other devices
- The physical throttle levers move correctly for forward thrust
- The aircraft reaches idle correctly
The issue is that when I lift the reverse levers on the TCA quadrant and move the throttles below the idle detent, the reversers do not activate in the aircraft. There is no reverse deployment and I do not get any clear indication that reverse thrust is being selected.
Could someone please confirm the correct MSFS control bindings for the Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus with this aircraft?
Specifically, I would like to know:
- Which exact throttle axis assignments should be used?
- Are the reversers supposed to work through the throttle axis below idle, or do they need separate button assignments?
- Which commands should be assigned to the reverse levers/buttons?
- Is there any calibration step required either in MSFS, the Thrustmaster control panel, or inside the Just Flight aircraft/EFB?
- Are there any known issues with the TCA Airbus quadrant and the F70/F100 reversers?
Forward thrust works fine, but reverse thrust does not engage at all.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We would recommend using the "THROTTLE AXIS (0 to 100%)" control assignment if you wish to have reverse thrust on the same axis as the throttle. With linear sensitivities, that would place the changeover between forward and reverse thrust at the 50% point of your axis, and that can be adjusted in the sensitivity options within the simulator.
If you would like to control the reverse thrust using buttons, we would recommend using the THROTTLE DECREASE control assignments.
Hope that helps.

Thanks @Mark! If i could humbly suggest implementing the "TOGGLE REVERSE THRUST" command in MSFS. We all use it for all our addons to toggle between regular and reverse thrust through a single button. It makes is super easy to finely adjust reverse thrust as well.

Works here with a configured profile out of the box. Same profile as I use for eg. Citation X.
