Flight Sim Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition - Black/Blue, PC-compatible, 450 g

The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition is an ergonomic replica of an Airbus throttle quadrant designed for PC flight simulation. It reproduces airliner controls and mechanisms, including thrust reversers and realistic detents for Idle, Climb, Flex and TO/GA. The unit uses contactless magnetic sensors (H.E.A.R.T.) for high-resolution input and long service life, and its tensioning screw can be adjusted to match user preference or type of flight simulation.

Advantages

The quadrant offers magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors for up to 16-bit resolution, eliminating potentiometers and extending lifespan. It includes a functional thrust reverser mechanism, multiple realistic detents and two Engine Master selector switches. The device provides 16 assignable action buttons and an adjustable tensioning screw to tailor throttle feel for different play styles or aircraft profiles.

Suitable for

• PC flight simulation (Windows 10 / Windows 8)
• Civil airliner procedures and training scenarios
• Gamers seeking realistic Airbus-style throttle control
• Setups using separate sidestick or yoke controllers

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition to a compatible PC running Windows 10 or Windows 8 and assign functions to the action buttons via your simulator or control-mapping software. Adjust the tensioning screw to obtain the desired lever resistance, and use the detents and Engine Master switches to reproduce Airbus takeoff, climb and landing procedures. The magnetic sensors deliver smooth, precise inputs without calibration drift associated with potentiometers.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install any recommended drivers or firmware updates from the manufacturer and map throttle, reverser and engine master functions inside your flight simulator. Use the tensioning screw and detents to match the quadrant feel to the aircraft model you are flying, and keep the unit on a stable surface during use.
