My Sierra TPM Module is not being detected​

  • Verify the USB cable is securely connected.
  • Try another USB port.
  • Avoid USB hubs.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Confirm the device appears in Windows Game Controllers.

The Sierra TPM Module is connected but not working in my simulator​

  • Verify the module is detected by your operating system.
  • Assign the throttle, propeller, and mixture axes.
  • Restart your simulator after connecting the module.
  • Remove duplicate controller assignments.

My throttle, propeller, or mixture controls are reversed​

  • Reverse the affected axis within your simulator.
  • Verify the correct axis has been assigned.

Some aircraft may require inverted throttle, propeller, or mixture axes.

The trim wheel is not responding​

  • Verify the trim wheel axis is assigned.
