Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Edition Sidestick Flight Control for PC
Product Info
THRUSTMASTER TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Joystick
Get ready for takeoff with the first Thrustmaster joystick to combine magnetic technology with flight controls inspired by the world of civil aviation (the Airbus A320 family).
Featuring an ergonomic replica throttle quadrant, inspired by iconic Airbus flight controls, two navigational axes, with 16 buttons and controls (detents, switches and even a thrust reverser mechanism) for a multitude of possibilities during takeoff, in flight, upon landing, and when on the ground. Mechanical selectors let you disable the detents and thrust reversers and optimize handling for all types of aircraft. Compatible with the Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP) and Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder (TPR) rudder systems, as well as with the TM Flying Clamp. For PC only.
- Ergonomic replica joystick, inspired by iconic Airbus Sidestick
- 17 action buttons with "braille"-style identification
- Contactless magnetic sensor technology, with no potentiometers, for an unlimited lifespan and optimal precision
- Throttle with built-in thrust reverser mechanism, and rudder control by rotating the sidestick's handle (lockable/unlockable)
- Contactless magnetic sensor technology, with no potentiometers, for an unlimited lifespan and optimal precision
Features
Innovative, Versatile Design
- Fully ambidextrous and modular joystick, with 4 swappable joystick head button modules that let you choose between 4 different configurations (right or left seat of an airliner, narrow or wide center stick configuration for small aircraft)
- Ergonomic replica of the Airbus sidestick (A320 type), with built-in throttle axis and thrust reverser mechanism
Fly with Greater Levels of Realism and Immersion
Exclusive precision, thanks to H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors:
- Surgical precision (i.e. 14-bit resolution: 16,384 x 16,384 values!) for the pitch axis and roll axis
- The coil spring (0.1" / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick provides firm, linear and fluid tension
New locking mechanism lets you disable the joystick handle's rotation, if used in conjunction with a rudder controller (sold separately). 17 action buttons with "braille"-style identification!
- 12 buttons on the base, 4 on the stick, and 1 virtual button on the throttle (bottom 20% of the axis)
- New 8-direction point of view hat switch, designed for extreme precision
4 independent axes, with twist rudder (controlled by rotating the joystick handle). Selector switch lets you configure the 12 buttons on the base, in either the right-handed or left-handed position. Weighted base for enhanced stability.
Native Integration in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Plug and play: the device is automatically recognized in the game.
