TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition

Description

The TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition is a robust and versatile sidestick, capturing the essence of Airbus flight controls. With its ergonomic 1:1 scale design inspired by the Airbus A320, this sidestick brings a tactile and customizable edge to your flight simulation. Boasting a built-in throttle axis with a unique thrust reverser mechanism, and 12 remappable buttons, it’s engineered to adapt to your style—be it captain, co-pilot, or central solo position. With the added benefit of contactless magnetic sensor technology, every maneuver feels smooth and natural.

What sets the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition apart?

  • Swappable Joystick Head Modules The sidestick’s head is modular, allowing you to customize it for captain, co-pilot, or solo use. This flexibility makes it a favorite among users who value adaptability, particularly for varied flight scenarios or setups.
  • Built-in Throttle with Thrust Reverser A built-in throttle axis, complete with a thrust reverser mechanism, sets this stick apart. It's a rare inclusion on sidesticks, providing better control during landings and ground maneuvers.
  • HallEffect Magnetic Sensors Using contactless magnetic technology, this sidestick eliminates wear and tear while providing precise inputs over its lifetime. Users consistently praise its longevity and smooth operation.
  • Integrated Rudder Control The twist-rudder mechanism, with an optional lock, offers versatile control for multitasking pilots, enhancing usability in diverse flight conditions.

TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Compatibility

The TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition works seamlessly with other components of the Thrustmaster Airbus ecosystem, such as the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition and the TCA Quadrant Add-On. It also pairs effectively with the T.Flight Rudder Pedals and the TM Flying Clamp for a more stable setup. However, it lacks compatibility with consoles like Xbox or PlayStation, making it ideal for PC users only. This sidestick integrates into setups requiring a versatile input device but isn't suitable for console-based flight simulators.

For gaming platforms, the sidestick supports PC (Windows 10 and 8), but does not function with macOS or Linux-based systems. It’s compatible with popular flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane. However, its use is restricted to games that support configurable flight controls, as it lacks plug-and-play support for casual or arcade titles.
