Get your MOZA FLIGHT TQA throttle module mounted, calibrated, and mapped correctly. Follow this step-by-step guide for smooth Airbus-style throttle control in your flight sim.
Quick answer
Mount the TQA throttle module securely, calibrate it in MOZA software to capture the full detent range, then map the throttle axis in your sim. This ensures the Airbus-style detents and reverse thrust behave predictably.
Why mounting and calibration order matters
The TQA throttle module uses tactile detents to replicate Airbus thrust lever positions. If the module shifts after calibration, those detents can misalign with your sim's throttle zones, causing inconsistent reverse thrust or idle settings. Always complete physical mounting before any software calibration.
Also, calibrate in the MOZA software before mapping axes in your flight sim. This lets the sim read the full electrical range and reduces dead zones at the detent points.
When detents feel too stiff or too light
The TQA is designed with a fixed detent structure; it is not user-adjustable. If the resistance feels excessive, check that the module is mounted without any flex or binding. A loose mount can make detents feel inconsistent. If the problem persists, contact MOZA support rather than attempting to modify the mechanism.
Step-by-step setup and axis guide
- Mount the module securely: Attach the TQA throttle module to your cockpit or desk using the appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure it sits flat and does not flex when you move the lever through its full range. Check for movement by applying light pressure at the detents; any shift means you need to tighten or adjust the mount.
- Connect and open MOZA software: Connect the module to your PC via USB and launch the MOZA software. Confirm the device is recognized and firmware is up to date. If the module is not detected, try a different USB port or cable before proceeding.
- Calibrate the throttle axis: In the MOZA software, start the calibration process. Move the throttle lever slowly through its entire range, pausing briefly at each detent, then return to the idle position. Calibration must include the full forward and reverse range; skipping the reverse thrust zone will leave that area unmapped.
- Map the throttle axis in your flight sim: Open your flight sim's control settings and assign the throttle axis to the TQA module. If your sim supports detent-aware throttles, enable that option; otherwise, use a linear axis and rely on the physical detents for feedback. Test the axis in the sim's calibration screen to ensure it reaches 0% and 100% without excessive dead zone.
- Verify reverse thrust behavior: In the sim, move the throttle into the reverse thrust range and check that the sim responds correctly. Adjust any reverse thrust curves or buttons as needed in the sim settings. If reverse thrust does not engage, confirm the axis is not inverted and that the sim recognizes the lower detent positions.
- Fine-tune detent response (if supported): Some sims allow you to set throttle detent markers. If available, align these markers with the physical detents on the TQA module by observing the raw axis values at each detent. Record the raw axis value at each detent for future reference; this helps if you change aircraft or sim settings.
Product facts
- MOZA FLIGHT TQA Throttle Module: The MOZA TQA Airbus-style throttle module recreates the detent structure and reverse thrust behavior of the A3X series. This means you can expect distinct tactile feedback at each thrust lever position, which helps you set and hold precise power settings during approach and landing.
