Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition is an officially licensed 1:1 scale replica of the Airbus A320 sidestick, designed for civil aviation flight simulation on PC. This ergonomic joystick features H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensor technology (14-bit resolution: 16,384 values per axis) for precise, drift-free pitch/roll control with a linear coil spring, plus a built-in throttle axis with thrust reverser (bottom 20% of range) and twist rudder with lockable rotation. Its modular design includes 4 swappable head button modules for ambidextrous captain/co-pilot/center configurations, 17 “braille”-style action buttons (12 base + 4 stick + 1 virtual), and an 8-way POV hat for immersive airliner flying in MSFS 2020/2024 or X-Plane.
