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

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

First off about the build quality - it is okay - I mean it feels hollow - at least the throttle quadrant, I expected some more weight. But other than that it works. The joystick is plug and play however you have to download the driver for the throttle quadrant (and the flaps, spoiler add-on which I also purchased) and update the firmware (if needed). One thing is you need to calibrate it first thing out of the box - there is a youtube video and one big picture instruction sheet in the box. Also for MSFS2020, the default sensitivity of the throttles is very non-linear. At Climb detent it will be 80% throttle. The Flex and the TOGA detents become very difficult to separate. You need to make the sensitivity of the throttle quadrant a linear line. Check some youtube videos. About the Joystick, I need to get used to it. I still feel comfortable with a XBox 360 controller. On thing good through is the Rudder mechanism. It is there in the throttle itself so you don't need separate rudder pedals.

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..........

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

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.

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.

Excelente produto, estou muito satisfeito. Pretendo completar o kit com as demais peças.

Bra kvalitet.Windows 10 känner de direct .Jag är nöjd.

Das Thrustmaster TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition ist ein beeindruckendes Set für alle, die ein authentisches und realistisches Flugerlebnis suchen. Die Nachbildung des Airbus Sidesticks und des Throttle Quadrants ist einfach herausragend und bringt die Faszination des Fliegens direkt ins Wohnzimmer.Die Verarbeitung des Sets ist erstklassig. Der Sidestick liegt angenehm in der Hand und bietet eine präzise Steuerung, die es mir ermöglicht, das Flugzeug mit Leichtigkeit zu navigieren. Die Tasten sind gut platziert und leicht zu erreichen, was die Bedienung während des Flugs äußerst komfortabel macht. Auch die Dämpfung des Joysticks ist perfekt abgestimmt und vermittelt ein realistisches Gefühl.Der Throttle Quadrant ergänzt den Sidestick ideal und sorgt für ein authentisches Cockpitgefühl. Die Schieber lassen sich geschmeidig bewegen und die integrierten Schalter sind perfekt für die Steuerung von Triebwerksleistungen und anderen wichtigen Funktionen. Besonders toll finde ich die Möglichkeit, mehrere Motoren unabhängig zu steuern – das macht das Fliegen mit komplexeren Flugzeugen noch spannender.Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die einfache Installation und die Kompatibilität mit einer Vielzahl von Flugsimulationssoftware. Ich konnte sofort loslegen und das Set problemlos in meinen Simulator integrieren.Fazit: Das Thrustmaster TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition ist ein absolutes Muss für Flugenthusiasten und Simulationsspieler. Es bietet eine beeindruckende Kombination aus Qualität, Funktionalität und Realismus, die das Fliegen zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis macht. Ich kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Stupende anche se purtroppo rispetto a prima o poco tempo per utilizzarle ma ogni volta che le tiro fuori mi emoziono sempre davvero belle e realizzate beneee
