## Summary description

## Long description

Get ready for takeoff with the Thrustmaster Airbus-style sidestick: the first Thrustmaster joystick to combine magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors with flight controls inspired by the Airbus A320 family. This ambidextrous, modular flight stick includes a built-in throttle axis and thrust reverser mechanism and is designed for realistic civil aviation control input and PC flight sims.
Advantages
The joystick offers an innovative, versatile design with four swappable joystick head modules to select between multiple configurations (right or left seat, narrow or wide center stick). Native plug-and-play integration with Microsoft Flight Simulator makes setup automatic. Magnetic H.E.A.R.T. sensors provide high precision (14-bit resolution) on pitch and roll axes, while an internal coil spring delivers smooth, linear tension. Additional features include a new lock to disable handle twist when using an external rudder controller, a weighted base for stability, and compatibility with Thrustmaster’s T.A.R.G.E.T. software for custom mapping.
Key specifications
 Ambidextrous, modular joystick with 4 swappable head modules
 Ergonomic Airbus A320-style sidestick replica
 Built-in throttle axis with thrust reverser mechanism

 Coil spring inside stick for linear tension (0.1" / 2.8 mm diameter)
 New locking mechanism to disable handle rotation
 17 action buttons (12 base, 4 on stick, 1 virtual on throttle)
 8-direction precision POV hat switch
 4 independent axes with twist rudder (handle rotation)
 Selector switch for right- or left-handed button configuration
 Weighted base for enhanced stability
 Compatible with PC (Windows 10, 8) and Thrustmaster rudder controllers (sold separately)
 Compatible with T.A.R.G.E.T. software
How to use
Connect the joystick to your PC and allow the system or Microsoft Flight Simulator to recognize it automatically. Choose the appropriate swappable head module and seat orientation (right or left) for your preferred control layout, then set the selector switch to match. Use the built-in throttle axis for thrust control and the virtual button at the lower 20% of the throttle axis for assigned actions. If using a separate rudder controller, engage the locking mechanism to disable handle twist and rely on the rudder pedals for yaw control. Configure button mappings and profiles in T.A.R.G.E.T. software if custom or aircraft-specific setups are required.
Recommendations
For optimal realism, use the sidestick together with compatible Thrustmaster rudder pedals (T.Flight Rudder Pedals or Pendular Rudder) and configure aircraft-specific mappings in T.A.R.G.E.T.; ensure Windows drivers are up to date and calibrate axes in your simulator before flight.
