Toby1899 2 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Danke! Jetzt funktionieren schonmal die Flaps und die Spoiler korrekt. Wie sieht es aus mit der Parking Brake und dem Landing Gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's possible in P3d. If I am wrong, please can you advise? Thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Hotas Button used doesn't matter so long as the button config is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted December 24, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 24, 2021 The Hotas button is important. In the documentation you will find a description how to assign a button twice. I’m in vacation and don’t have the manual, so you have to check the procedure to double assignment in the manual.

I'm sorry but I can see no instruction on assigning 2 buttons to the same Hotas Button. I have v1.4.3.2 installed, the last revision of Vol 1 was 15th Oct 2020 (the last 0 is missing in the table of contents). I also read the separate TCA PDF in the Documentation folder but it was just a repeat of the information in Vol 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read the separate TCA PDF in the Documentation folder but it was just a repeat of the information in Vol 1. I have fudged it by closing P3D and manually editing the standard.xml file. Definitely not covered in the manual. Furthermore, my autobrake has disarm, btv, lo, 2, 3, hi - disarm and 3 are not covered and P3D things that button 25 is hi - button 26 does not exist.

Buzz0428 6 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Sorry to bring up an old thread. Great instructions. However my A319/A320 configurator does not have the throttle quadrant addon. A330 configurator does but the A319/A320 configurator does not. I am on 1.4.3.2 for A319/A320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 730 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi Buzz, No problem. You need to update to the latest version in order to have the TCA option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz0428 6 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thats the thing I am on the current version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz0428 6 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So I am on the current Airbus A320 version. The flaps on the TCA quadrant jump around. Not sure why? Version I am running is 1.4.3.2. It works fine on the A330. Any ideas? Speed break and all works as well. Throttle is a bit sensitive for reverse since updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simfix60 1 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I had similar issues. My Aerosoft Configurator did not display the boxes for the Thrustmaster Airbus quadrant and the addons. Even as my “Aerosoft Updater” showed that “no updates were available” for both my A320/A321 AND my A330 aircrafts! As you need to check those boxes, I deleted the Aerosoft aircrafts and reinstalled them. Then, the boxes finally showed up in the configurator! This allowed me to set my throttle quadrant and addons. Everything was working perfectly till a few days ago, when my flap lever on the addon started jumping around, while skipping some of the flap detents. Turns out my control sensitivity setting had slipped out of the recommended setting for the flaps. Remember, under “control calibration” for the TCA: sensitivity: all the way high; null zone: all the way low. Now, I double check this periodically. No more flap lever jumping around! If your flap and spoiler axis’s are set and the 7, or so, Hotas buttons are set properly, you should be in good shape. I’m using this with P3d v5.1. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 730 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks SimFix, Indeed, as a general rule, don't keep for granted that calibration will last forever. Analog devices tend to drift with time and computers tend to loose their settings from time to time. Checking on assignments and sensitivity curves on a regular basis is always good policy.
