Quality piece of kit. For any Flight simulator fan. Well built and easy to set up. Ive bern pkayong on it fot approximately 40 hours now and its so easy and comfortable to use.
They controls are quite chunky so leave plenty of space on your desk. Awesome piece of kit.
Great improvement over my last joystick with very smooth input, great for flying sims. Msfs2020 recognises it straight away even mapping out the controls for you. The ability to change buttons on the top making it easy for right handed and left handed people alike to use this joystick. Also plenty of choice with add ons that work well with this product. All in all well worth the money.
Everything so much smoother with this joystick compared to others that I have used

So what can you say about a joystick??? I was quite excited about trying this stick after my previous Thrustmaster T.Flight broke…..those potentiometers don’t last forever. This stick however uses a totally different system for sensing movement which is so much better. As a heavy X-Plane user I was hoping the control of the A319/A321 would improve ever so slightly. Here’s my opinion…
— Installation on Windows 10 —
Install the drivers as it makes switching between mode1/2throttle easier.
Don’t install the SMART software unless you really need it.
— Pitch/roll/yaw axis —
Much better than the potentiometer models
There is plenty of travel in all directions
Yaw can be locked if you have pedals
— Buttons —
Loads of buttons and all work well although you sometimes need to be very positive and press in the centre of the buttons located on the base.
— Left / Right handed switching —
This is easy to switch. Personally I prefer right handed mode.
A small screwdriver is needed to swap the buttons. Remember to switch the button underneath the base to left or right
— Throttle —
Where do I start. Thrustmaster have tried to make this “clever” and failed miserably. There are 2 modes. Mode1 is a standard throttle so the bottom stop is idle and the top stop is full throttle. Mode2 is designed for aircraft with reversers and moves the idle position about 5mm forward of the bottom stop as well as adding an additional button to the bottom position. The idea is that you map “toggle reversers” to this extra button. So you reduce the throttle to idle passing over the threshold, then move the slider to the bottom on touchdown to trigger the reversers, then slide all the way forward for full throttle reverse……then to idle, then to the bottom to turn off the reversers….then back to idle. This seems like such a great idea but it’s actually rubbish for one simple reason. Thrustmaster didn’t engineer the physical idle detent point correctly so you can’t actually feel the stop point. You can see in the picture the recess for the detent, and also the piece of plastic which is supposed to provide resistance at the idle point. It just doesn’t work as it needs to be sprung. What ends up happening is you’re constantly trying to work out if you’re are at idle, or if you’ve set the reversers off. I went back to mode1 and assigned the reversers to a button and have no issues. The throttle range and sensitivity in mode1 is excellent.
In summary, a great controller with a terrible (mode2) throttle implementation.
Nice representaion of the Airbus Trottle Quadrant, fairly good quality and looks the part, along side the Airbus TCA Sidestick.

Si on veut s’approcher de la simulation d’un 320, cet addon est indispensable au TCA QUADRANT, car il permet d’avoir les commandes essentielles sous les doigts, sans quitter l’objectif des yeux. Ceci est particulirement vrai dans les phases d’approche et d’atterrissage ou il faut grer seul, le cap, le climb, la puissance, les volets, les arofreins etc. et il est impensable de sortir de l’cran chaque ajustement.
Montage facile, bien document, parfaitement reconnu par Windows.
Beau produit Trustmaster, mme s’il manque encore quelques commandes ; l’essentiel est l.
Smart looking joystick. Works a treat on the pc.
Pros…
Smooth movement.
Plenty of axis and buttons.
Cons…
The front trigger button is flimsy.
The throttle is odd, the travel goes past the joystick body.
The buttons are not numbered, so it is very difficult to know which one to press.
Really happy with the stick and throttle quadrant. Both feel really nice to use and have a lot of customisation options.
Out of the box the throttle is very sensitive, but can easily be amended in FS2020.
I’ll be trying to get the add-ons for the throttle next.

This is a superb quality piece of control equipment, downloaded the Thrustmaster drivers, checked for a firmware update, mine was up-to-date. Plugged in both usb cables into my pc, windows found both joystick and quadrant no problem.
Fired up MSFS 2020 and there they were, both in controls, I didn’t have to change any of the buttons, no remapping, it was all there ready to use.
Loaded up a airbus A320neo , taking off from Manchester to Heathrow and used the startup etc checklist, all the buttons work and I actually felt like I was in the cockpit in charge of this airliner. Very immersive and for the money its a steal. I thought my Logitech 3DEXTREME PRO joystick was good but this is another level. It’s great quality, well built and has transformed this flight sim for me. The joystick feels great in the hand and when you move it the movements are velvety smooth and exact.
Fantastic piece of kit. Thanks Thrustmaster.
Le 3 stelle sono da interpretare, il joystick ha ben pochi difetti, anzi uno solo, pochi pulsanti sullo stick e tantissimi sulla base (per me sono inutili).
Il grande pregio il blocco dell asse z, cos se si hanno i pedali si elimina il fastidioso movimento di twist.
Ora passiamo alla nota dolente, la manetta.
Con l airbus stock di fs2020 non va, le tacche non corrispondono, si pu migliorare, alla fine ci sono riuscito abbassando la sensibilit, non corrispondono perfettamente ma l aereo comunque le riconosce.
Con il fbw invece si pu settare alla perfezione.
Il problema nasce con gli altri aerei.
In pratica se la manetta viene posizionata in prossimit di una delle tacche, essa tende a scivolare sulla tacca, rendendo questa manetta impossibile da usare con aerei tipo cessna 172.
Per spiegare metto la manetta al 70 percento e fisicamente la manetta scivola su flex dandomi il 75 percento di potenza.
Insomma.. La manetta migliore che possiate acquistare se volate solo ed esclusivamente con airbus fbw, ma la peggiore se volate su qualsiasi altro aereo.
Aggiornamento, si possono eliminare i detent e diventa preciso.
Ein Punkt Abzug gibt es die ewige Nichtverfgbarkeit. Warum auch immer.
Die Kalibrierung beim MSFS ist so – naja. Bei XPlane wesentlich besser, oder sogar sehr gut.
Ich habe den Throttle fr A320 Ultimate, A321 und A350 gut kalibriert bekommen und er macht exakt das, was er soll. Auf der rechten Seite hatte sich der Anschlagbolzen fr Idle verschoben und sorgte fr eine ungenaue Position. Den Bolzen habe ich wieder in Position gebracht (aufschrauben), eher ein kleiner Mangel. Gleich am Anfang habe ich mir eine Schale gedruckt, die beide Regler synchroniesiert. Das macht das Ganze etwas einfacher und beide Triebwerke laufen damit sehr gleichmig. Die Schale kann man mit wenig Kraft und einer Hand leicht wieder abziehen. Ansonsten macht es nach der ganzen Einstellerei nun wirklich Spa damit zu fliegen.
This is a very nice stick. Used with MS Flight Sim ( no set up required ) and Star Wars knights of the republic ( in game set up a must ). Very responsive and doesn’t feel like it is going to break when thrown from side to side. Lovely yaw control that can be used while banking ( if you have enough air speed ).
I wish the buttons were numbered as they are confusing especially when setting up for a non- flight sim application. My son didn’t like the throttle position, but don’t blame Thrust master, that is Airbuss’s layout and I am fine with it.
Bit pricey,but all joysticks are in short supply and it was money well spent.
Great piece of kit. Realistic, well thought out and designed. An excellent smaller replica of the real-life unit. Lots of detail, sturdy, and the adjustable friction on the throttle levers give them a nice realistic feel. Highly Recommended.
use it as a second stick for Star citizen , its firm responsive and most importantly left hand capable as i fly mouse and stick
good amount of buttons and easy to set up..
probably wouldnt use it as primary stick though , but does very well for my needs and affordable
Recibido tras una larga espera de meses por falta de stock. Lo he probado en MSFS y con los ajustes por defecto va de lujo.
Contras:
1- El interruptor para el autobrake es ms fiel a Boeing que a Airbus y solo permite ponerlo en “Max”.
2- El eje de los speed brakes no tiene posicin de “Armado” como en el real.
3- La distancia en las detentes de potencia no es como la real. Hay la mima distancua entre idle y clb que entre clb y flex (en el real la distancia entre los dos primeros es mucho mayor)
Le joystick est formidable de douceur et de prcision.
Les commandes throttle un peu molle, mais les durcir dgrade la prcision des crans de positionnement. Il dispose d’une prise RJ12 propritaire pour la connexion du palonnier de la marque (conomie d’un port USB), qui peut cependant se brancher en USB avec un adaptateur fourni.
Dommage que la pnurie actuelle nous prive de l’addon Flaps et speed brakes, indispensable pour garder un oeil sur la piste lors des atterrissages.
Prvoir un petit hub 4x USB l’achat pour brancher tout a : idalement avec interrupteurs spars, car cet outil est ddi AIRBUS 320 et vous aurez besoin d’un throttle standard (ex: Saitek/logitech) pour grer les petits avions (Trim, richesse, Pas d’hlice) qui n’existe pas sur un Airbus (ou autres gros porteurs).

I found it easy to set up and the response is very good
**EDIT** If you experience the problem I have described below, adjust the “Sensitivity” settings in Options>Controls>TCA Quadrant in MSFS… It’s literally a game changer!! Having done so, this now works perfectly…
Such a shame… This product looks good, but isn’t very usable… The throttle has 4 notches, each at equal 25% indents along the axis… The problem is 0-88% of thrust is controlled between 0 and the first notch… First to second is 88-97% of thrust and final notch is 97-100%… It makes it extremely difficult to control with such little travel on the axis for so much of the first part of the throttle… If that makes sense… I’m not a pilot (nor a gamer), but you’d have thought Thrustmaster would have made a “replica” an actual replica… I purchased it for Microsoft Flight Sim and you can clearly see in the game it’s not!
Works perfectly with FSLabs A319-321, Aerosoft A318-321 & A330, Toliss A321 and FF A350

Bought this set for my MS Flight Simulator. The flight stick is of good quality (though plastic) and controls the rudder too (by turning it along the vertical axis , replacing the function of the usual rudder paddles). It works well for various aircraft types, not only Airbus. The throttle unit is however Airbus specific, useless for smaller planes that require a linear adjustment. My MS F-SIM automatically identified the set and assigned reasonable default configuration. Flight stick and throttle require separate USB connectors. An integrated USB hub allowing daisy chaining both (or even multiple) input devices would be better.
Mi son preso qualche giorno per recensire il prodotto cos da avere il tempo di testarlo, possedevo gi la leve joystick quindi su quel componente ormai la qualit ottima e la precisione nei movimenti in volo era assodata, sia nei simulatori di volo come flight simulator, che nei giochi di simulazione spaziale come star Citizen, il sidestick risponde bene preciso e una volta settato con le proprie preferenze da grandi soddisfazioni per il prezzo che ha.
Per quanto riguarda il quadrante manetta mi aspettavo qualcosa di pi grande e di peso, quindi l’unica pecca se cos possiamo chiamarla nella sensazione tattile, che da feedback di oggetto molto delicato. Questo per viene ampiamente recuperato una volta connesso il dispositivo, su giochi come Flight Simulator si configura da solo, preciso e un grande punto a favore l’inversore di spinta che non avevo mai trovato ( o almeno non ero riuscito mai a configurare in maniera ottimale) su nessuna manetta generica.
Do 5 stelle perch qualit/prezzo ad oggi specialmente per chi vuole un pack “plug&play” non c’ nulla di meglio sul mercato, per avere qualcosa in pi preparate a sborsare diverse centinaia di euro in pi. Lo consiglio CALDAMENTE a chi ama titoli simulativi come Flight Simulator nato per quest’utilizzo inutile girarci intorno. Ma se come me siete anche amanti di altri generi, un prodotto che riesce a darvi il giusto grado di divertimento.
Vale cada centavo pago, se voc gosta do Air bus, vale muito apena. Este conjunto tambm pode ser usado com avies da Boeing e funciona bem, porm no a mesma coisa pois o proposito do produto so os Air bus
I am really glad that I bought the Thrustmaster Airbus sidestick.
Straight out of the box, it was easy to set up and has proved very reliable. It feels right right and it makes flying the aircraft accurate and easy.
I would recommend this side stick to anybody.

Didn’t want to upgrade my old logitech joystick as it had been reliable forr year’s.
Then the twist action Died……
Decided to go for the thrustmaster but unsure how it would perform.
It has exceeded all my expectations and feel’s good, responds well and is very accurate.
Others mention the slider accelerator is not very responsive, I found it spot on, easy to control the acceleration.
Wish I had one sooner.
MS Flight Simulator 2020 recognises this joystick and supports its many buttons “out of the box”. Customisation is also possible, but is not required to get started. The joystick itself seems well made and operates very smoothly offering good progressive control. This is a great improvement over trying to use an Xbox game controller.

Very smooth but the tiny little built on throttle is complete trash. It wobbles from side to side and the reverse detent is practically indiscernible. Everything about this stick is quality apart from the rubbish throttle.

Generally, the joystick works well, but the usb plug is of poor quality, and sometimes disconnects. The controls were designed to control an airliner, of course, and are therefore less than ideally arranged for a computer game.
On xplane 11 it seemed to only need minor tweaking. On MSFS 2020 though it required a touch of trial and error. Excellent build quality.

I’ve been using this for a few days now for flight sim 2020. I like the quality of the plastic and it looks quite nice. It does the job well. A bit more than the average joystick price I guess but I just bought it because the others were out of stock. I am happy with the purchase.
Nice quality and feels solid. Very easy to set up and use.
Apart from a few initial set up issues – so glad i bought this and cant wait for the other addons to be available

This joystick does exactly as it says on the box. It has smart aesthetics owing to the airbus it is modelled from and has amazing build quality, I could hope for a more pronounced and stiffer throttle slider and the detents for reverse thrust are easily gone unnoticed. Better than many other joysticks I have owned for a similar price.

After a half a year delay finally I can put my hand one of these. It’s available in Thrustmaster’s shop for days now continuously, don’t feed the scalpers!
The side stick is just one of the best what I ever used, smooth and stable, but we’ve seen this one already, this is just a slight redesign.
About he quadrant: had to change the resistance, the 50% how it comes just way too loose, it didn’t hold at all, fell back to idle by gravity, have no clue how much, but I guess I tightened almost completely and now it’s fine. After a bit of tweaking in the sim (dead zone, sensitivity) I gave it a proper go, but realized the MSFS is still causing some problems as I had to unassign the buttons from 3 to 6, otherwise the knobs turn only in decimals (repetitively pressed button bug). Also if you don’t have the quadrant add on, you need to do the same with other axis as it was extending the flaps every single time when I checked the menu (ESC) in the sim. Back to the quadrant: The levers’ idle are not matching, the right one don’t go down to the same place compared to the left one, the difference is 2% in the sim’s options. I read articles about wobble buttons (mainly “ENG”), but luckily I didn’t see any of this, all good, reverser works like a charm either. Once it’s work seamless with the MSFS it’s a must if you like airliners over GA.
Now I just have to wait again, until I have the quadrant, will drop a review as well..
As PC joysticks seemed to have been sold out everywhere for the last few months, for my daily fix of MS FS2020 I’d been making do with my 10 year old Speedlink Black Widow flight stick. It was clunky, with one of the springs broken and made an already complex simulation more tricky than it should have been.
So, when I saw this Thrustmaster TCA joystick was finally back in stock, at a sensible price, I snapped it up straight away.
It’s simple plug-and-play and MS FS2020 detected it and mapped the controls immediately.
There are 16 programmable buttons, which is sufficient for the majority of commonly used FS 2020 controls.
The mapped default controls all feel very intuitive and the default degree of sensitivity for the main flight controls and throttle is spot-on and shouldn’t require any tweaking.
The difference between my old joystick and this was remarkable!
Had the Warthog HOTAS been in stock, I would probably have bought that instead. Despite this being of plastic construction, it feels fairly robust and has certainly met my expectations. At a 6th of the price of the Warthog, it has saved me a fair chunk of money too.
Excellent product that I can recommend most highly.
Easy to set up, Great value considering Most joysticks are very expensive and most are not available just waiting on the throttle to become available…

Tena la vista puesta en ste complemento para el Flight Simulator y dejar de lado el teclado. La verdad es que es muy til para aterrizajes y despegues, ya que el control es directo.
Como puntos a favor tiene la ergonoma, los accesos simplificados, la facilidad de uso y la sencillez de configuracin ( an que hay que calibrarlo cuando te llega, ya que si no cada motor lee una cosa distinta ).
Como puntos en contra, me esperaba una unidad un poco ms pesada ( es toda de plstico ) y algo ms de realismo ( se queda en una simple copia “similar” al original ). No tiene ningn tipo de LED indicador, ni iluminacin ambiente, nada. Simplemente es la pieza de plstico con los dos interruptores, el selector y los dos motores.
Me esperaba algo ms por parte de Thrustmaster sabiendo que hacen productos de calidad, ste producto no est a la altura por el precio que tiene.
Bought as a present, said to be ‘wow COOL!’
Reu 2 jours avant le dlai annonc. Normalement livr entre le 7 et le 10 dcembre, reu le 5. Emballage adapt et livraison conforme.
Le prix lors de la commande a augment, vue la forte demande du produit (225 ). Mais a en vaut la peine pour les passionns de simulation comme moi depuis des annes.
Produit de trs bonne qualit, test sur FSX et FS2020. Installation facile depuis le site de Thrustmaster. Paramtrage des boutons fait sans aucun problme. Jouabilit Excellente sur mes simulateurs.
Dans l’attente de recevoir le module (Volets et Spoilers) de la mme marque.
Je n’hsite plus acheter des produits Thrustmaster qui sont vraiment de trs bonne qualit.
J’ai aussi plusieurs modules Saitek qui fonctionnent avec les modules Thrustmaster. Aucun problme de compatibilit entre ces deux marques.
Bon vol tous !
Je viens tout juste de recevoir ce produit qui je vous le confirme est compatible avec MacOS / Xplane 11.
Je posterais un commentaire prochainement aprs l’avoir test d’avantage.
Pour le moment je mettrais un bmol sur les throttle qui du fait de leur matire plastique prsentent un peu de jeu et n’apportent pas la prcision des vrais. Cependant il faut relativiser aussi, nous ne sommes pas dans le cockpit d’un 320.
A contrario beaucoup de personnes ont mentionn une manette des gaz trop lgre qui lve. Si le pilotage est souple, cela ne se prsente pas.
Superb product, well designed, excellent value. Easy to set up,
realism effect using controls is very realistic.
