ADD-ON AIRBUSEDITIONMODULES

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

you to disable the detents/notches on eachaxis. Doing so allows you to have smoothaxes,

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

This option lets youchange the piloting sensations according to the type of airc raft being

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

1. Turn the TCAQuadrant Add-On Airbus Editionmodules upside down, and unscrew the

two screws for each of the selectors usinga screwdriver with the corresponding head

shape (not included).

2. Switch the position of the selectors, using the indicators as a guide: this will 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.
