Frequently Asked Questions - Sol-R 6 Throttle THRUSTMASTER

How to calibrate my Sol-R 6 Throttle?

The throttle auto-calibrates automatically after a few movements on the axes and reaching the stops. If necessary, use the Windows Control Panel (Game Controllers) to check the calibration.

My throttle is not working properly, what to do?

Turn off your PC, unplug the throttle, plug it back in, restart your PC and restart your game. Make sure the firmware is up to date by downloading the driver from the Thrustmaster website (Drivers section).

How to configure my throttle in a game?

Go to the Options menu > Controller > Throttle or Joystick of the game. Choose the appropriate configuration or manually reconfigure axes/buttons. You can also use the T.A.R.G.E.T. software for advanced profiles.

How to adjust the throttle sensitivity?

The throttle auto-calibrates, but you can adjust sensitivity and dead zones in the game's Options menu if available. The T.A.R.G.E.T. software also allows advanced settings.

How to update the firmware of the Sol-R 6 Throttle?

Which rudders are compatible with the Sol-R 6 Throttle?

The throttle is compatible with TFRP (RJ12 connection) and TPR (USB connection) rudders. The TFRP connects directly to the throttle, the TPR to the PC.

How to change the detent position?

Unscrew the four screws under the base, remove the detent, choose the desired position (no detent, 50%, 80% afterburner, or dual detent) by aligning the symbol with the arrow, then screw back. Then select the corresponding configuration in the Control Panel.

How to use the integrated rudder?

The rudder is manually operated with a 15° angle and automatically self-centers. It functions as a directional rudder. You can also connect a compatible external rudder via the RJ12 port.

Detent

The detent can be configured in four different positions (no detent; 50%; 80% afterburner; dual-detent) to best suit the type of aircraft you are piloting.

1. Unscrew the four screws located on the underside of the base and remove the detent.

1. Choose the detent position from the four options using the symbols placed in each corner and on each side of the part.

1. Put the detent back in place and screw the four screws back in.

3

Align the symbol corresponding to your choice of configuration with the arrow on the underside of the base. Please refer to the table on the following page to see the possible configurations.

After each change of the detent's position, also be sure to select the corresponding configuration (no detent; 50% ; 80% afterburner; dual-detent) in the Control panel.

Configurations		Aircraft type
No detent		General aviation
50%		Space simulation
80% afterburner		Fighter aircraft with afterburner
Dual-detent		Commercial aviation
