Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition (PC)

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition is the first Thrustmaster joystick to combine magnetic technology with flight controls inspired by civil aviation, modelled on the sidestick of the Airbus A320 family. An ergonomic 1:1 scale replica officially licensed by Airbus, it is the PC version of the TCA sidestick and an accessible way to bring a genuine airliner feel to your desk. It suits pilots starting out in civil aviation simulators as well as experienced virtual captains building a complete Airbus setup, and it pairs naturally with the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition for a full flight deck.

Precision comes from Thrustmaster‘s contactless H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic system, which uses no potentiometers for an unlimited lifespan and optimal accuracy over time. The sidestick offers 17 action buttons with “Braille”-style identification so you can find controls by touch. A throttle built into the base includes a thrust reverser function, a feature unique to airliners that helps you master your landings. The rudder can be operated by twisting the handle, which makes multitasking easier, and it includes a locking system for a more realistic commercial flight experience.

The modular design lets you adjust the configuration before each takeoff: captain, co-pilot, or with the stick in a central position for solo flight, thanks to 4 swappable joystick head button modules. The free T.A.R.G.E.T software lets you test, configure and program the controls on PC, with built-in presets for well-known games and the ability to create your own. The sidestick slots into the Airbus TCA ecosystem with the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition, the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition, the TM Flying Clamp and the TFRP rudder pedals, all sold separately.
