OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY AIRBUS
Thrustmaster is thrilled to launch its first civil aviation-related gaming accessory, officially licensed by Airbus, for an intuitive and realistic flight experience. This ergonomic replica of the Airbus sidestick (A320/A320neo type, 1:1 scale) features 12 remappable action buttons offering a multitude of possibilities, plus a built-in throttle axis with thrust reverser mechanism (a unique feature on airliners).
VERSATILE AND MODULAR
The design of the joystick’s head is both versatile and modular, thanks to the 4 swappable joystick head button modules. You can easily adjust the sidestick’s configuration (right or left seat of an airliner, narrow or wide center stick configuration for small aircraft) before each takeoff, to meet your requirements: captain, co-pilot, or with the sidestick in the central position for solo flight. The rudder can be used by rotating the sidestick’s handle, to make flying easier for multitasking pilots.
HALLEFFECT ACCURATE TECHNOLOGY
This rudder function built into the sidestick’s handle also includes a locking system for a more realistic commercial flight experience. The TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition features Thrustmaster’s celebrated proprietary H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system, ensuring even more realistic sensations: thanks to magnetic sensors providing up to 14-bit resolution ( 16,384 x 16,384 values, for the pitch axis and roll axis) and the coil spring (0.1” / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick provides firm, linear and fluid tension. This contactless magnetic sensor technology, with no potentiometers, gives the sidestick an unlimited lifespan. The product is compatible with PC (Windows 10, 8).
17 action buttons with “braille”-style identification!
- 12 buttons on the base, 4 on the stick, and 1 virtual button on the throttle (bottom 20% of the axis)
- New 8-direction point of view hat switch, designed for extreme precision
Native integration in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
