Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

Hello, now that I added rudder pedals to my joystick - not buying a yoke yet - the joystick's rotating handle has no use anymore. Do you have any suggestions? I can't think of a use for it. FWIW, the combo is Thrustmaster T.Flight Full Kit (HOTAS + pedals).

I am having hard time to calibrate my throttle.. in FlyByWire A320Neo idle, climb, flx/mct and toga works but not reverses. Then example in A330 when i set throttle to Idle but it is in "Reverse full", so i have no idle at all. in Fenix a320 i have to calibrate it everytime again and still no reverses. Could anyone please help?

FlitePal Boeing 737NG Forward Overhead Panel hey fellas can anyone who has this panel offer some feedback, opinions or advice about it. It's significanlty cheaper than some of it's competitors and I'm wondering about it's quality and reliability.Thanks.

Hi Guys, I currently have a Saitek X52 Hotas but I 'm thinking of shelling out on a Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and a Honeycomb Bravo throttle quadrant. It's going to be stretch such that the pedals will have to wait for another day. But in the meantime I assume I can just use keyboard commands for rudder? Have I got that right or is there a slicker way to do this? Cheers Terry

Hello I have CPFlight Mcp Pro ethernet connection. This is connected to Prosim. It always worked well. But now it sometimes loses connection with prosim while flying. All the hardware I have from CPFlight has stopped responding. If I restart Prosim afterwards, everything works fine again. Very weird. Please help.

From the looks of things, Thrustmasters big Dec 23 release of the Boeing TCA Yoke pack and Throttle Quadrant has turned into a bust. From what I have seen online the majority of preorder vendors didn't even receive inventory. January ship dates are being pushed back to February and only a few small vendors even received products to sale. The TM Europe store is the only location to actually have both the Yoke and TQ. So much for all the announcement hype at Expo about having product on hand for release day. So has anyone actually gotten there hands on one beside reviewers? I'm interested in feedback from someone besides those who were given free yokes to review.

Hello and Happy New Year everyone! I stumbled upon an older post regarding the use of the Thrustmaster TCA and none Airbus planes I´ve purchased the whole package and so far managed to get all planes (FSLabs, PMDGs, TFDI 717, ...) working quite well. FSUIPC helped a lot. Nevertheless right now I´m stuck. I think the TCA is messing up the Autopilot of the Majestic Q400. Maybe I´m totally off here, but the TCA is the latest addition to my cockpit, so I thought I´ll start looking for the root cause there. 🙂 Before that I was using the Saitek X52 and everything was working perfectly. I managed to set up all axis and bu…

I've been doing a lot of reading on the Bravo, but have had little time to test since receiving mine earlier this week. It seems the LEDs are the tricky part, otherwise it works as a normal controller. I assign axes through FSUIPC and buttons through LINDA. Are the drivers necessary at all to get the LED's to work? If they are, how can I avoid the Honeycomb software? I have no interest in yet another software to program controls through. Is it as simple as just not opening the program, or does it run in the background? I'm looking forward to testing, but work and life has not allowed that yet. The unit feels great, look forward to using it!

My thrustmaster TCA throttles started acting up, I would basically get different values from the two and it was annoying to always have to compensate for the difference. So I thought I'd investigate and I found that other people also had this issue. After opening them up it turned out I had some paper clips stuck to the sensor's magnet. I almost dissasembled the entire thing but it should be as easy as removing the side panels to reach the magnet. So if you're having the same issue and you have a screwdriver, check this first. There's basically no protection for anything that falls into the unit and the magnets are pretty strong to attract anything metallic.

good evening, with this an email for help, so that I can help my grandson. After purchasing the msfl steam x on steam ... he made the purchase MSFS 2020 in July this year, after many problems he did it, then followed a 5 weeks ago an update ... the HD turned out to be too small, although there was still a 220 gb free, so I bought an external ssd of 500 gb ... and the update succeeded and the game worked .Now Yesterday 19/12 he got while playing playing the game, the message that the trustmaster TCA was disconnected ??? the joystick still worked ... he has the captainpack airbus from trustmaster . When we open the folder where trustmaster is installed .. I see the joystic…

Friendly warning to all of us running "old" USB 2.0 flight sim devices, with the latest Windows 11 update, I for one suddenly lost my PFC Airliner pedals due to a "driver error" that turns out to be something totally different, having been in touch with PFC, I now have to change the card of the pedals at a cost (160 $) because the latest Windows 11 update made my USB pedals out of commission! I also noticed that my GoFlight modules experience this "driver error" on a rotation basis (one day it can be the TQ6, the next day it's a GF 166, or the A/P, etc), so much so that I have to go through a check of all my USB devices status in Windows Settings Devices page immedia…

I want to hook up the Yoke, Rudder pedals and throttle by using a USB hub. Advisable? Is a hub with switches so you can power up the computer without the flight sim stuff OK. Lots of different prices out there. Suggestions? Thanks, Sonny

Got a new R13. I was going to buy a reliable controller. Thrustmaster used to be in that category for like two decades. Not any longer. I had a few horrible days of fighting with Thrustmaster Hotas One. After like ten hours spent on futile attempts to get right drivers, updating firmware, making research - I gave up and returned it to Best Buy, Guys, what controllers do work with Windows 11 and MSFS 2020? Thanks!

Hey everyone, had an issue recently with my Thrustmaster Airbus TCA joystick where the rudder axis would randomly flutter in any sim and it became an annoyance, especially when landing (320, 310, 737). I tried calibration but those fixes were temporary. I got so frustrated with my otherwise great hardware that I did a youtube search. A guy by the name of Keegz found the cause of the issue and by golly, it worked! Now some dissasembly is required but the result was instant for me. Can't believe something so simple made it past Thrustmaster. I want to leave the video linked here for future reference so that others don't think their TCA isn't worth it anymore.

OK, there's no such product...but...I always wondered if you could combine two TCA throttle quads side-by-side together with the add-on modules for spoilers/flaps/park brake etc to make a 4-engine throttle quad with all the extras attached. So I went for it when I found the quad and add-on modules deeply discounted during the Black Friday sales, and I'm happy to report it works very well with just the included hardware and cabling. The automatic assignments work for everything except the right side of the add-on module, however all the axes and buttons are visible and assignable via the normal mechanisms. I have this on my X-Plane machine, paired with both a Th…

hi, My Saitek Flight Rudder Pedal after many years (around 10 years) just broke. I think it's a known failure, the plastic part that holds the brake spring broke. Unfortunately, an identical part made in aluminium does not seem to be available anymore. I looked at different manufacturers of Rudder. I have to say that the Turtle Beach appeals to me. What do you think of this product in terms of robustness? Is it compatible with my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke + Quadrant or my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog (Joystick + Throttle) If you have other products to offer, my maximum budget is the Turtle Beach (+-300€) Thank you all, Regards, Richard.

I'm not 100% sure this is where the issue lies, but i had a 3080ti previously and with my ch pedals and yoke the screen would time out at the time set, no issues. I put the new 4090 in, latest nvidia driver (and previous drivers since the 4090 was released tried too), i did clean, i did DDU in safe mode etc.. No matter what, the pc screens will not timeout after the set time (nor will the pc sleep either). Pc sleep commands in terminal dont show anything holding up the system, but i know if i unplug both ch devices it works (not just 1).I dont run the geforce experience software either. Viewing the controllers in usb controllers, im not seeing any jitter th…

Having no response to my numerous emails for support with MSFS, I called today (from Europe) to speak to someone. The Support telephone number is discontinued and the main number did not reply. I left a message asking for an answer to my email, but will I get any? There is still that Covid 19 message on the site which is surprising since I thought the situation in the US was now under control. Has anyone received support or been able to communicate with them recently? Furthermore, has anyone been able to configure the TQ6 with MSFS other than with FSUIPC7? All my 17 modules are configured via FSUIPC and work including the TQ6, however the PMDG DC6 does not "acce…

Got this email this morning as I was on the waiting list. FYI for anyone who might be interested in buying a plug and play tiller. “Hi All, I’m emailing to all those who asked to be wait-listed for the A320 tiller products from Cat3Design.com Provided you make the purchase by 27th Nov 2022, production priority will be determined by the wait-list request date. General purchase will also be available albeit after all wait-list orders are fulfilled. So, if you know friends who might be interested in getting a hold of the tiller, please do spread the word! Cheers! Nobby”

Hello all, I have a Honeycomb Bravo quadrant, and I am trying to consider the best option for flying an Airbus, and weighing in the pros and cons of the Airbus addon pack for the bravo vs the Thrustmaster TCA set. I initially wondered why pay what just a set of handles cost when the TM was not that much more. The. I saw you need both the throttle and addon for all controls, but still could not find definitive info to decide. Before getting into each piece of hardware itself, I want to be sure I understand how it's *supposed* to work. For this consider I am an absolute airbus noob and going by a few videos I saw explaining the throttle. - I have seen that …

On another forum someone mentioned this device: For more info see here: https://www.octavi.net/ It's a kickstarter project. I did not see it mentioned here yet but for some it might be almost exactly what they are looking for. The concept seems nice but at €179 it's not cheap.

I wanted to use my old throttle quadrant from my saitek Yoke, and another i was lent, along side my new Honeycomb Alpha Yoke. However both have a 6pin mini din connector (Ps/2). So I jumped online and found that most people suggest some pretty substantial modifications to achieve this, and considering I had borrow one of them, I wasn't very keen on doing these modifications. So I set out to see exactly what was going on with that 6 pin connector. This including contacting support, to see if they could enlighten me on a few key things. To which I recieved the expected response "Good Luck!!" Well, I'm not sure luck had anything to do with it, after alot of t…

From TH -- https://www.tomshardware.com/news/mcdonalds-mccrispy-gaming-chair -- quoting the article "The UK arm of McDonald's is giving away a gaming chair to celebrate its new "game-changing" chicken burger, the McCrispy. And we're not sure if we're lovin' it. The giveaway was announced on McDonald's UK's Facebook page with a video showcasing the yellow and black racing-style design, as well as garish/gimmicky additions such as a fry holder, a "hot box to keep your McCrispy warm during game-play" a stain proof treatment (which this will need if you're eating greasy food while sitting in it) and slots for two of your favorite dips."
