Joystick Thrustmaster Airbus Edition Black Blue

The TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition combines the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition and the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition to recreate a civil aviation flight deck. These ergonomic replicas reflect the shapes, colors and control layout of Airbus A320-family sidesticks and throttle quadrants and are designed to support piloting of civil aircraft from business jets to transport airliners. The pack uses Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensor technology to provide high-resolution, contactless input for long-lasting, precise control. Both devices connect to PC (Windows 10, 8) via USB and are finished in a black and blue color scheme with a stable, weighted base.

Advantages

The set offers authentic mechanical feel and visual accuracy: realistic thrust lever resistance and detents, responsive buttons with tactile feedback, and lifelike sounds and touches on activated components. The sidestick is fully ambidextrous and modular with four swappable joystick head button modules for different seating configurations. The quadrant features configurable mechanical selectors to enable or disable detents and thrust reversers and supports expansion through connectors for additional Thrustmaster TCA ecosystem add-ons. The contactless H.E.A.R.T. sensors deliver high-resolution input (up to 14-bit on the sidestick and up to 16-bit on the quadrant) and eliminate wear associated with potentiometers.

Suitable for

• Flight simulation on PC (civil airliners, business jets, general aviation)
• Switching to non-commercial flight modes (fighter jets, spacecraft) with adapted controls
• Pilots and sim enthusiasts requiring realistic throttle and sidestick interaction
• Users who want modular, ambidextrous joystick configuration

Key specifications

• Weight: approx. 0.53 kg (component reference)

How to use

Connect each device to your PC using the supplied USB Type-C cable and install any required drivers or firmware updates for Windows 10 or 8. Configure the sidestick for left- or right-handed use and choose one of the four interchangeable joystick head button modules to match your preferred seating or aircraft type. Use the selector switch on the sidestick base to assign the 12 base buttons for the chosen hand position. On the quadrant, select detents and enable or disable thrust reversers via the mechanical selectors depending on the aircraft you fly. Calibrate axes in your simulation software to take advantage of the high-resolution H.E.A.R.T. sensors.

Usage recommendations

For most civil flight simulations, start with the default Airbus detents (Idle / Climb / Flex / TO/GA) and the matching joystick head module; when flying small or aerobatic aircraft or switching to combat/spaceflight, disable detents and change the head module for a narrower or wider center-stick feel. Keep firmware updated to maintain sensor performance and longevity.
