RUDDER FUNCTION
Your joystick features a rudder function (5): in an airplane, the pilot manipulates the rudder to
pivot the plane around its vertical axis (making the plane turn to the left or to the right).
This rudder function is available on your joystick by rotating (i.e. twisting) the stick to the left or
right.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE RUDDER FUNCTION
The rudder function can be disabled using the lock button on the back of the joystick handle.
Press this button down in order to lock the rudder's axis.
Bring this button back into the upper (i.e. default) position in order to unlock the rudder's axis.
MULTIDIRECTIONAL "POINT OF VIEW" HAT SWITCH
Your joystick features a "Point of View" hat switch (2) which, as its name indicates, allows you
to instantly view everything that is going on around your aircraft (in games where this feature is
enabled). To use this feature, simply go into your game's setup menu, and program the
different views (rear view, view to the left, view to the right, and also external views) onto the
directions of the "Point of View" hat switch.
If you wish, you can also reserve the "Point of View" hat switch for other uses instead (firing,
etc.).
AMBIDEXTROUS SYSTEM
Your TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition joystick has the advantage of being fully ambidextrous,
allowing it to perfectly adapt to all players, whether they are right-handed or left-handed.
To do so, three elements can be adjusted: the configuration of the buttons on the base, the
right button module, and the left button module.
CONFIGURATION OF BUTTONS IN RIGHT-HANDED MODE
To set the positions of the 12 buttons located on the base to RIGHT-HANDED (or co-pilot/first
officer) mode, set the selector switch (9) located under the joystick's base to RIGHT HANDED
before connecting the joystick. Your product will then be recognized as a T.A320 Copilot.
CONFIGURATION OF BUTTONS IN LEFT-HANDED MODE
To set the positions of the 12 buttons located on the base to LEFT-HANDED (or pilot) mode,
set the selector switch (9) located under the joystick's base to LEFT HANDED before
connecting the joystick. Your product will then be recognized as a T.A320 Pilot.
CHANGING THE MODULES
By default, the joystick is configured in pilot mode.
To change the configuration between the four different options available:
A. Using a small screwdriver, carefully unscrew the two screws in the button module on the
left-hand side of the joystick's head.
B. Change the modules according to your preferred configuration.
C. Put the screws back in and completely retighten them.
