Review on Enhance Your Flight Sim Experience with Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition (Windows) by Kio Flyx ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not all bad, an average quality purchase.

Having connected the throttle, I saw a Windows message that the device was not recognized. Sometimes, however, by shaking the product, it was possible to make it work. Not for long, really. It became clear that the problem is hardware. Many users abroad have already encountered this. For example, on the MSFS 2022 forum there were a lot of sufferers with a similar problem (look for the topic "TCA Throttle Quadrant USB device not recognised"). A solution was also found here: foreigners unanimously sent their ores to the service under warranty and received from there with a repair note: "Link cable to main pcb replaced". Link cable is a normal loop. Disgusting quality, yes . In general: a screwdriver, a hexagon, a soldering iron, an awl (to remove the studs that secure the engine switches) and an hour of free time solved the problem radically. Since then, I have had two months of regular operation - the flight is normal. Don't forget to calibrate the throttle according to the manufacturer's instructions! Otherwise, it will not work properly.

Pros
  • In general - an interesting product for fans of virtual flights on the A320 (including me).
Cons
  • 1) The replica is made in 8:10 size (80% of the real size). What for? Really it was impossible to make an honest size 1:1? :-) 2) A large percentage of marriage in early batches! The product does not work out of the box! And it's epic fail.
