Thrustmaster TWCS - Throttle for Windows

Product Information

Set all sensitivity settings to 0 %. This includes Sensitivity + and -, Dead Zone, Neutral, and Extremity Dead Zone. Leave Reactivity at 100 %. How to Set Sensitivity to Linear

This configuration is meant for users who are comfortable finding and changing setting-files manually. Do a short test flight to confirm that all detents work as expected and also that reversers work as expected.This describes the calibration of a single axis throttle with no Reverser on Axis and also no detents. Do not change the deadband if not necessary and also never set a value too large as deadband ranges must not overlap! 4. Start With Full Reverser (or Idle) Set Reverser on Axis to ON if your throttle has a range for the reverser thrust (lowest setting is full reverse). Microsoft Flight Simulator allows the mapping of a key or button to use the normal throttle axis as the reverser axis. To configure this, choose a key or button on your controller and map it like this:

Make sure if you move the throttle all the way from the lowest setting to the highest setting that the white bar underneath the mapping line also moves all the way in both directions. You can't see all options? Try this! If this is not the case, you can find out which controller axis is used by your controller by using the Sensitivity dialog and moving the lever to see which axis is moving. With the default throttle configuration built into the A32NX, this results in the following number of steps: For the detents CL, FLX and TO GA, you can increase the dead zone to make it easier to move your throttle into the detents. You can now use the above described method to calibrate your keyboard throttle positions to the correct detents.

To simulate reverse thrust with these throttle controllers, you can map the reverser button(s) to the THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE. So, as long as you keep the controller levers in the reverse position, the throttle will be decreased up to full reverse thrust. To stop reverse thrust, you would move the throttle forward (button will be released) and apply a little thrust, so the throttle moves to a non-reverse value again. Example: Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Congratulations! You can use the keyboard for throttle control! Keyboard Special Mapping Keyboard Special Mapping We recommend to also map a button to set the throttles to IDLE during landing. This can be done by mapping the THROTTLE CUT function to a controller button. This can easily be fixed by carefully following the steps above, which will remove the error message, which then in turn allows to SAVE & APPLY.

Don't worry whether the throttle does move all the way or moves too far into reverse now. Only the movement direction is important at this point. 4.

In the example below, we used the button "3" for this.

Pros and cons

Tension screw (accessible via underside of throttle’s base): adjust the S.M.A.R.T mechanism’s resistance to suit your taste Therefore, read the Keyboard section but instead of F2 or F3 use the buttons mapped to throttle increase and decrease on your controller.
