Capt PT 1 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I'm unable to get the MSFS to connect with the TCA. I followed the step by step procedures as recommended but the throttles won't connect to the CRJ. The controls are set correctly in the MSFS and I (of course) calibrated . Still can't make it happen. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord Baltimoar 7 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I got them to work correctly what comes to mind: 1) did you map the "throttle 1 axis " and "throttle 2 axis " binds to the correct axis (Joystick L-Axis X and Joystick L-Axis Y) from your throttle? Make sure you did not select "throttle 1 axis (0 to 100%)" 2) play with the "reverse axis" checkboxes (i have them unchecked) 3) is the sensitivity set up correctly in the sim? (all but reactivity set to 0%. Reactivity should be set to 100%) 4) did you do the calibration in the second page of the options page of the EFB inside the CRJ? 5) did you unlock the throttles when starting cold and dark (click the red lever on the throttle and slew it forward with the mouse. They will only move if you did that manually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 729 Posted March 26, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Capt PT, I suppose you followed this procedure : https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159677-how-to-use-the-tca-throttle-with-aerosoft-crj-550700/ I would only as one point to add to the excellent TO CHECK list of lord Baltimoar : did you check or calibrate the throttle in the Windows calibration utility ? Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendead 30 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 You should do 2 profiles for the TCA, one with throttle axis for the CRJ and another one with throttle axis (0 to 100%) for all your plane, Asobo, CJ4, A32NX It's the only way I found to make everything work perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice for using THROTTLE AXIS instead of THROTTLE AXIS (0% TO 100%) was made in order to be able to implement the CRJ's FADEC system properly. I would implement the use of the 0-100 axis right away but it's currently not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 729 Posted March 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted March 27, 2021 Also in general, using different profiles according to the planes is a vey good practice. It takes a bit longer in the beginning, but afterwards you are sure not to have any interference between the bindings specific to one aircraft and the bindings of another. Just keep in mind that the controls functionalities are extremely different wether you fly a C172 or a B747. The easy profiles capabiliy in Flight Simulator are an extremely powerful feature.

Agree, it mandatory switching from a single / dual engine to a quad like the 747 On another note, I hope the patch/hotfix will be out soon, I just did my first CRJ flight with my new TCA throttle and it's nearly impossible to accurately control the power output.
