1) Before connecting, make sure your TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition is associated with the corresponding engines

- The selector switch must be in position 1&2 (engines 1 and 2)



If you use two TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition:
- The first quadrant must be in position 1&2.
- It is imperative* that the second quadrant selector switch is in position 3&4 (engines 3 and 4).


*If two TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition are in the same engine position (eg: 1&2 and 1&2), your computer will recognize them but will not be able to make the difference between them. So, the second quadrant will not work.


2) Directly connect your TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition to the USB port on your TCA Yoke Boeing Edition or on your PC

The TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition can be connected in two different ways (your choice) for PC gaming.

Connection solution 1:
- The TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition can be connected to the USB port on the back of the TCA Yoke Boeing Edition.
- Then simply connect your TCA Yoke Boeing Edition directly to a USB port on the PC.



Connection solution 2:
- The TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition can be independently connected to a PC USB port.




Important :
The quadrant must be directly connected to a USB port on the yoke or on the PC with its USB-C / USB-A cable.
- We recommend that you avoid using a USB hub, a USB extension, or any other type of connection extension.

If you use a second TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition, you must connect it independently to another USB port on the PC.

Note on TCA Yoke Boeing Edition USB ports:
- The TCA Yoke Boeing Edition only features one USB-A port to connect a compatible device. Any other additional peripheral must therefore be directly connected to the PC.
