Modular joystick pack with throttle - H.E.A.R.T. technology

Overview

An intuitive and realistic flight experience

Under official Airbus license, the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition joystick is an ergonomic replica of the Airbus A320/A320 Neo control stick in 1:1 scale. It features a structure composed of 12 re-assignable action buttons for a multitude of possibilities and an acceleration lever with integrated thrust reverser (a unique function on airliners). The design of the joystick head is both versatile and modular thanks to its interchangeable components. Before each take-off, adjust your control column configuration to the most optimal position: captain, co-pilot or centre control column for solo flights.

In addition, the rudder can be activated by rotating the control column to simplify the life of multi-task pilots. It also has a locking function for a more realistic commercial flight session. The TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition features the renowned proprietary H.E.A.R.T (Halleffect AccuRate Technology), giving players the closest thing to realism with magnetic sensors reading up to 14-bit resolution.

Under official Airbus license, the Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition throttle promises a complete flight experience. Whether or not it is combined with the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition (sold separately), the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition proves to be an all-purpose quadrant in civil aviation, with its numerous functions assignable to a total of 16 ergonomic replica action buttons. Before each take-off, adjust the tension screw on your quadrant to suit your preference or type of play.

Inspired by the real Airbus stick

The TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition promises a unique grip as an ergonomic replica inspired by the iconic 1:1 scale Airbus mini stick.

The integrated throttle at the base of the joystick includes a thrust reverser function, a unique feature of commercial aircraft. This is a great asset for mastering manoeuvres and ensuring fully controlled landings.

H.E.A.R.T. Technology

H. E.A.R.T. (Halleffect Accurate Technology), without contact or potentiometer, offers the possibility to enjoy unlimited life and optimal precision during flight sessions.

The rudder can be activated by rotating the control column to simplify the life of multi-tasking pilots. This integrated control column rudder also has a lock function, for a more realistic commercial flight session.

Versatile and modular design

Before each takeoff, the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition allows you to adjust the configuration of your stick in the most optimal way: captain, co-pilot or stick in the central position for solo flights.

T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor) is a software suite that allows you to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers. T.A.R.G.E.T includes predefined profiles for each accessory on famous, recent and older titles.

Dual throttle

The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition features two distinct levers inspired by the real-life joysticks found on Airbus airliners. For more realistic use in four-engine aircraft (such as the Airbus A380), it is also possible to assemble two TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition!

The TCA Quadrant has two separate levers with a fully functional thrust reverser mechanism on both airliners and light aircraft or transport aircraft.

Iconic Airbus buttons

The TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition has a number of 16 ergonomic replica buttons from Airbus airliners (type A320 neo).

Feel the sensation of activating the quadrant buttons, triggers and controls like a real captain.

    Very good product.

    I had already had the opportunity to test the product before buying it. Very good immersion on a320 Flybywire.

    Unfortunately defective product, returns and out of stock.

    Very immersive

    For the simmers fan of the a320 neo and flybywire do not hesitate.

    Very immersive, pleasant and realistic.

    But the adjustment is not automatic on the flybywire, follow the tuto is recommended.

    Default calibration from factory for the throtllle. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not working properly, so I'm going to send it back.
