## Long description

Get ready for takeoff with the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition, a wired USB joystick for PC flight simulation that combines magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors with a sidestick design inspired by the Airbus A320 family. The ambidextrous and modular construction includes a built-in throttle axis and thrust reverser mechanism, a weighted base for stability, and native plug-and-play recognition in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Advantages
The joystick delivers high-precision control thanks to H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors, offering 14-bit resolution on pitch and roll axes. Its modular design features four swappable joystick head modules for right- or left-seat configurations and narrow or wide center-stick setups. A coil spring inside the stick provides firm, linear tension while a new locking mechanism allows disabling handle twist when used with compatible rudder controllers.
Suitable for
PC flight simulation on Windows 10 and 8
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (native plug-and-play)
Home flight-sim setups requiring realistic sidestick controls
Users who pair joystick with Thrustmaster rudder pedals (sold separately)

How to use
Connect the joystick to a PC via the USB cable; the device is automatically recognized in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for plug-and-play use. Choose the appropriate joystick head module for right- or left-seat operation and install it on the stick. Configure button mapping and axis assignments using T.A.R.G.E.T. software or the in-game controls menu. If using a rudder controller, engage the locking mechanism to disable handle twist for coordinated control.
Usage recommendations
For best stability, place the joystick on a flat, rigid surface and ensure the weighted base is fully seated. Use T.A.R.G.E.T. or in-game profiles to save custom mappings for different aircraft; pair the sidestick with Thrustmaster rudder pedals for more realistic Airbus-style control.
