The FSC 737NG TILLER PRO kit is a no-compromise, reliable solution built for intensive use and
ultimate realism, and provides very exible features, letting to use it in a huge variety of situations
and with most simulation software currently available:
• Solid body built with precision CNC machined parts, made of aluminium, Ergal aircraft alloy
and special steels. Designed and tested to withstand over 500.000 actuations
• With a system of springs and double torque cam mechanism the reaction force is always
controlled, matching in realism the original hydraulic one
• Adjustable reaction force
• Smooth and harmless return to zero, through the use of a 0-MAX adjustable damper
• USB plug and play connection (no driver required)
• Easy access to electronic components
• Both black and white rotary engraved indicator plates provided, to suit your cockpit style

XPLANE ONLY: One Tiller AXIS
From “Settings” menu, select “Joystick, Keys & equipment”, select “axis” tab, move tiller to discover
the axis, then assign it from the dropbox to “ Nose-wheel steering tiller”.
FSX/P3D ONLY : NO Tiller AXIS, together with Rudder AXIS
FSX/P3D With FSUIPC: One Tiller AXIS
From “add ons” menu, select “FSUIPC”, select “Axis assignment” tab, move the tiller to discover
the axis, then under “type of action required” select the radio button “send direct to FSUIPC
calibration”, select”Steering Tiller” from dropbox menu.

From “Joystick calibration” tab, select “Pan axes (etc)” page.
From “Steering Tiller(direct!)” move the tiller to discover min,center & max values then press “Set”
buttons to conrm values..
Magenta FBW with XPLANE/FSX/P3d: Two separate Tiller AXIS
From FBW main page press “Calibrate” move Tiller to discover the axis. Near the axis press “Sel” to
select and calibrate.

Tiller direction: rotating the handle downward the “out” indicator must slide to the left, if not,
select “Inverted” (arrow 1).
Press “Recalibrate” (arrow 2) and move the tiller left and right slowly to calibrate the axis.
Look at the input and output values (arrow 3): the “in” value above indicate the raw values from
joystick interface, the “out” value below indicates the calculated range of values to send to
simulator according to calibration ltered by “Tiller response Curve”.
Release the handle to center the tiller, and press “Set Center” (arrow 4) How to change Response
Curve:
Drag with mouse:
“Null” (arrow 5) to change null zone value (right to enlarge), “Width”(arrow 6) for width zone,
“Max” (arrow 7) for % max excursion.
The Output Axis will move between “Null” and “Wdth”, with deection from 0% to “Max”
% of calibrated value (arrow 3, “out”)
Then click:
“Default” (arrow 8) for straight response,
“Curve” (arrow 9) for progressive response (like in the picture).
You can draw your own curve directly with your mouse pointer (arrow 10). To end calibration
process, click “Lock Calibration” (arrow 11).
