Description
Bring an Airbus home
For everyone willing to spend their flightsim hours in an Airbus aircraft, willing to have an experience that is as realistic as possible, Thrustmaster has released the TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition.
The sidestick is an ergonomic replica of the joystick used to operate the Airbus A320. The Throttle Quadrant features the distinctive features of an Airbus aircraft, and an A320 Neo-inspired Engine Panel.
Of course, the stick and throttle are also compatible with all other types of aircraft.
Experience what it feels like to operate an Airbus A320
Experience the unique feeling of operating an Airbus with Thrustmaster’s TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition. This joystick is a replica of the sidestick used to operate the Airbus A320, and is the ultimate addition to make your flight simulator experience even more realistic.
Accurate and multifaceted sidestick
In this flightstick Thrustmaster uses magnetic sensors as well, making the stick extremely accurate. If you do not have any rudder pedals yet, you can easily control the rudder using the stick twist. The ‘rudder lock’ is new for this type of joystick. If you fly with rudder pedals you can mechanically turn off the stick’s rotation so the rudder input of your stick does not bother you.
The A320 sidestick is suitable for both left and right-handed flyers, and the modular button configuration is also adjustable. In addition, the Thrustmaster Airbus Joystick has a throttle ax with a reverse thrust function on its base.
Power settings as in an Airbus
The Airbus Throttle Quadrant has two separate working thrust levers, which are equipped with fully functioning thrust reverser levers and TO/GA buttons. The resistance of the Thrust Levers can easily be adjusted to your own preferences by tightening or loosening a resistance screw.
What makes this quadrant special and different from the other available throttle quadrants, is that the throttle can be used linearly and in Airbus style. By converting the mechanic switch to the quadrant, it is possible to use the Airbus mode, such as Idle, Climb, Flex, and TO/GA, or not.
In addition, the TCA Quadrant has an engine panel, with Airbus A320 Neo replica buttons, from ‘Engine Master’ switches, among others.
Experience what it feels like to operate an Airbus A320
Under the hood the Airbus throttle is perfectly in order as well. In addition to the possibility to select the throttle mode, this product cannot be contaminated with potentiometers. These sensors rarely ever malfunction, and always remain equally accurate.
Adding modular motors or functionality
The Throttle Quadrant can be expanded modularly with, for example, an extra TCA Quadrant 'Airbus Edition', which gives you the opportunity to fly four-engined, or with modules for flaps and gear, for example.
This product is also fully compatible with the Thrustmaster Flying Clamp.
Compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
The TCA Officer Pack is fully compatible with Flight Simulator 2020. Of course, this product is also compatible with Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D and X-Plane 11 meaning this flightsim hardware is a great addition if you already possess the Aerosoft A320/A321, for example.
