TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition - WW

The overall quality is awesome and the joystick is also pretty comfortable and easy to use. The throttle is kind of small but it’s not too small. For medium hands it is good and for small hands it is perfect. And it’s just plug and play

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition is clearly made primarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator. With a design based on real flight controls it has a veneer of realism most other sets lack. That veneer only gets thicker if you buy the Quadrant throttle controller and its Add-on pack. This stick also works perfectly with Microsoft Flight Simulator, without further customization.Wish the addon pack and the mount for the centre quadrant is made available soon..........

First I was disappointed by the smaller size of the throttle as here on Amazon it said it's 1:1 scale. On the box it said only the joystick is 1:1 scale and the throttle is 8:10 scale replica. Apart from this, all is good. It's compatible with MSFS and there are several videos on Youtube on how to configure it for Boeing and GA aircrafts. FBW A320neo users; make sure you calibrate the device properly before using it or your aircraft will face unexpected failures. 1 thing which didn't seem realistic is the distance between idle detent and climb detent, it's just too less so the sensitivity in this area is very high. Though the feeling of flying is awesome. The joystick as well, I loved it's build and is quite smooth and realistic to use it. Amazing product by Thrustmaster.

Super fast service from Cloudtail and a brilliant addon from thrustmaster to add more realism to my fsim2020. Cloudtail will be you able to source the flaps and the speedbreak addons ? Kindly let me know.

It doesn't work despite all effort with driver updates/install.It seems to be a potentiometer issue with developed in less than 1 hour of total usage. Soo unreliable.Plus. No warranty!!

This is by far the most accurate and most amazing responsive flight system all the buttons are completely sync and ready to fly

I have found the product is Good but intallation guidelines should be given in details. Price are too high, should consider to reduce it and try to introduce more and more product for flight simulators

This is an Okay product. Surely not value for money. I bought this on June 21, 2021 and I'm writing this review on May 06th 2022. So almost a year of use. Mostly Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, MSFS and Xplane.The stick:It is amazingly smooth compared to my old Logitech pro 3D. and its 1:1 of real life Airbus a320. The buttons are good. I don't use most of it because they are kind of placed in a weird way if you are using it on your left hand like a real a320 pilot. I just use it for pitch trim/flaps etc. The stick head could have had more buttons, I had so much trouble setting up my Fire groups, toggle target and weapons fire in star citizen and elite because there is just not enough buttons on the head.Biggest issue is, as of writing, There has been a Yaw deadzone issue where my ship gets yawed to left if i keep it idle. I tried everything and looks like the yaw is automatically applied on the left when i checked it in windows controller configuration.Overall stick gets 8/10Throttle Quadrant:To begin with, This is where I felt, I lost a lot of value for money. First off, this is not 1:1 so don't get disappointed when you see a smaller quadrant. But it is not fair to expect such a big throttle quadrant at this price so that's okay.The biggest issue, is this is very Airbus centric quadrant. So the Throttle has modes just like real Airbus has. Using it for an aircraft that has linear throttle is a nightmare. You can manage somewhat with Boeing aircrafts because you will use A/T when you are in cruise. but forget using this confidently in GAs or any aircraft with manual throttles.This is also a big issue in space games like Elite dangerous or Star citizen. Problem is, in Airbus, Idle is in the middle-ish while for reverse you pull all the way down and for TOGA you pull all the way up. But these games cannot understand airbus' mechanics so they treat it linearly. meaning, when you are in full reverse, the games will think your throttle is zero and when you are in TOGA, they will think you are in full throttle. If you set your throttle to idle(or off in airbus which is middle-ish), the game will think you are running at 20-30% thrust it is a night mare to manage this. elite has a reverse mode but they don't sync with the quadrant well. elite treats IDLE in airbus as zero thrust in this mode but IDLE is not fully rested in the quadrant((i.e), when your aircraft is cold and dark it is slightly below IDLE). I tried for tens of hours hoping I will get used to it but when you are driving a ship the size of football stadium, this is a headache.overall there is nothing wrong in the quadrant but only get this if you solely fly airbus. else just get the stick and save some money or get a better generalized HOTAS.
