2. CLAMP ASSEMBLY
You have two ways for assembling the clamp: (1) on the back or (2) on the bottom, to get the best position for you. If you choose the bottom position, you must
unscrew the two front rubber feet before you screw the clamp.
Connect the USB cable to the computer where the flight simulator software is running.
It is not necessary the calibration on windows because the device is calibrated from factory.

Adjusting the lever’s hardness
If you want you can adjust the lever’s hardness tightening the wheels (K &
J) located on the left and the right sides of the device.
Once you have adjusted the knob, move the 2 or 4 levers (all the way at
the same time, from top to bottom, at least 10 times). This operation is
necessary to distribute adequately the same strength in the 2 or 4 levers.
It is not necessary the calibration on windows because the
device is calibrated from factory but you can use the calibration Windows tab to test the device.

at right side.
3. Calibrate IDLE point and save changes.
4. VFTest&Calibrate-S has to be running when
using TQ6+ because this software reads the data
from the device and send it to FSX-Prepar3D so
each time you start FSX-Prepar3D, you have
to run VFTest&Calibrate-S as well. You can use
Windows Scheduler to start VFTest&Calibrate-S
automatically.
1. Install FSUIPC if not installed.
Registration required.

Let you know that PROPELLER and MIXTURE axes must be configurated on X-Plane menus and THROTTLE axes must be configurated on
VF-Test&Calibrate-X.
PROPELLER AND MIXTURE
1. Open X-Plane and go to Configuration\Joystick tab.
2. Select TQ6+ and calibrate the axes if required, only for the Propeller
and Mixture axes (including FTH and CUT OFF zones).
3. Assign the according action for the Propeller and Mix ture axes to
Prop1 – Prop2 – Mixture1 – Mixture2 and check "Reverse Axis".
Make sure that the TQ6+ Throttle axes are set to "none".
THROTTLE
4. Open VF-Test&Calibrate-X software, go to TQ6 tab and select the
device from the devices list at right side.
5. Calibrate IDLE point of the THROTTLE and save changes.
6. VF-Test&Calibrate-X has to be running when using TQ6+ because
this software reads the data from the device and send it to X-Plane so
each time you start X-Plane, you have to run VF-Test&Calibrate-X
as well. You can use Windows Scheduler to start VF-Test&Calibrate-
X automatically.
