The THRUSTMASTER TCA SIDESTICK AIRBUS EDITION is an ergonomic flight simulation joystick officially licensed by Airbus, designed for realistic and precise civil aviation simulation. Inspired by the iconic Airbus A320/A320neo sidestick and reproduced at a 1:1 scale, it delivers an authentic aircraft control experience. It features 17 action buttons, a modular design, integrated throttle control and advanced H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology.
Its versatile design allows players to configure the joystick for captain, co-pilot or central positioning for solo flight. Integrated twist rudder control and a thrust reverser function provide additional flexibility during takeoff, flight and landing.
Key Features:
-
Realistic Airbus design: an ergonomic 1:1 scale replica of the Airbus A320/A320neo sidestick provides authentic handling and realistic flight simulation.
-
17 action buttons: tactile identification markings allow intuitive recognition and control of different functions. Twelve buttons can be remapped.
-
Modular design: four interchangeable joystick head button modules allow configuration for captain, co-pilot or central positioning.
-
H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology: contactless HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensors provide precise control with up to 14-bit resolution. With no potentiometers, the system eliminates mechanical sensor wear.
-
Integrated throttle control: the slider on the joystick base includes a thrust reverser function for realistic landing manoeuvres.
-
Lockable twist rudder: rotating the joystick handle provides rudder control, with a locking mechanism that allows the function to be enabled or disabled according to user preferences.
-
T.A.R.G.E.T software: allows users to test, configure and program joystick functions and create customised profiles for different flight simulators. Predefined profiles for compatible games are also available.
-
Expandable Airbus TCA ecosystem: compatibility with accessories such as the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition, TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition, TM Flying Clamp and TFRP rudder pedals allows users to expand their flight simulation setup. Accessories are sold separately.
