MAKING CHANGES TO THE AXES ON THE TCA QUADRANT

ADD-ON AIRBUS EDITION MODULES

The TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition modules feature mechanical selectors allow ing

you to disable the detents/notches on each axis. Doing so allows you to have smooth axes,

while maintaining virtual buttons 27 through 31 on the speed brake module.

This option lets you change the piloting sensations according to the type of aircraft being

used in your simulation (commercial aircraft or civil aircraft).

1. Turn the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition modules upside down, and unscrew t he

two screws for each of the selectors using a screwdriver with the corresponding head

shape (not included).

2. Switch the position of the selectors, using the indicators as a guide: t his w ill let you

choose either a smooth axis, or an axis with detents/notches, for each axis on the TCA

Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition modules.

ADJUSTING THE FRICTION

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The friction on the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition modules is set to 50% by

default.

- In order to allow for precise adjustment according to your preferences, y ou c an use a

screwdriver with the corresponding head shape (not included) — or the crossbar included

with the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition — to turn the friction adjustment screws.

1. Push both TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition module levers forward to their maximum

values, and then access the friction adjustment screw at the back of each module.

2. To increase the friction, turn the friction adjustment screw clockwise.

3. To decrease the friction, turn the friction adjustment screw counterclockwise.

- To avoid damaging the friction system, be careful not to over-tighten the adjustment

screws: stop turning the screws when you feel resistance.

- Never completely unscrew the adjustment screws, to avoid the screws falling inside the

body of either TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition module.
