Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Flight Stick (PC)

DESCRIPTION

• 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).
• The design of the joystick’s head is both versatile and modular, thanks to the swappable joystick head button modules.
• You can easily adjust the sidestick’s configuration 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.
• 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.
