Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition

Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition, Ergonomic replicas of the side control stick and full throttle quadrant, Magnetic technology, PC compatible.

Thrustmaster is pleased to launch a pack including all the accessories of the TCA Airbus Edition range.

The TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition includes the TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition and the TCA Quadrant Add-on Airbus Edition, for a complete civil aviation experience, with all the features you need to take on the role of captain, without any pressure.

Ergonomic replicas of the Airbus side control stick and throttle quadrant and add-ons, similar to those found on the famous Airbus A320/A320neo passenger aircraft, these Airbus civil aviation accessories include all the functions you need to fly any type of civil aircraft: from business jets to transport aircraft, and aerobatic aircraft as well.

Take a break from your business jet and head to your fighter jet or spacecraft, with complete confidence!

The TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition is made up of products that are iconic at every level: the replica design of each device mimics the original shapes and colours, with an incredibly authentic and realistic feel to the various components.

You'll love using the wide variety of controls inspired by real Airbus airliners: the feel of the buttons and response times, the resistance in the thrust levers, the sounds the components make when activated, and even the feel of the touch. Everything is at your fingertips to raise the level of your flying sessions with the replicas.

The TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition incorporates Thrustmaster's renowned patented H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system, which provides gamers with enhanced realism thanks to built-in magnetic sensors that allow up to 14-bit resolution on the side control stick and up to 16-bit resolution on the throttle quadrant.

This non-contact magnetic sensor technology, without potentiometers, gives both devices an unlimited lifetime.

These products are PC compatible (Windows 10).

• Compatible with the TM Flying Clamp (sold separately)

INSPIRED BY THE REAL AIRBUS LATERAL CONTROL STICK

An ergonomic 1:1 scale replica inspired by the famous Airbus side control stick, the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition guarantees exclusive handling.

VERSATILE AND MODULAR DESIGN

You can easily adjust the configuration of the sidestick before each take-off to suit your needs: commander, co-pilot or with the sidestick in the centre position for solo flight.

INTEGRATED THRUST REVERSER MECHANISM

The integrated throttle at the base of the joystick includes a thrust reverser function, a feature unique to passenger aircraft. This is an important advantage that helps to master related manoeuvres and ensures that landings are perfectly controlled.

LOCKABLE ROTARY RUDDER​

The rudder can be used by rotating the side control stick handle to make flying easier for multi-tasking pilots.

This rudder function integrated into the side control stick handle also includes a locking system for a more realistic commercial flight experience.

RENOWNED AIRBUS CONTROLS

The TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition incorporates 8 ergonomic physical action buttons (plus 8 virtual buttons on the thrust sticks, for a total of 16), which are replicas of Airbus airliner controls (A320neo type).

Feel realistic sensations when using the throttle quadrant buttons, throttle stops and other controls - just like a real aircraft commander.

DUAL THRUST LEVERS​

The TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition features two independent thrust sticks, inspired by their real-life counterparts found on Airbus airliners.

For even more realistic use with four-engine aircraft (Airbus A380 type), two throttle quadrants can be connected together (additional quadrant sold separately), giving you four thrust levers instead of two!

UNIVERSAL THRUST REVERSER

The TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition features two independent thrust levers, inspired by their real-life counterparts found on Airbus passenger aircraft. It includes an integrated thrust reverser mechanism, which is fully functional on passenger aircraft, light aircraft and transport aircraft.

FLY ANY TYPE OF AIRCRAFT

Mechanical selectors allow you to disengage the thrust stops and thrust reversers (to switch to linear axis mode), for flexible piloting of any type of aircraft.​

The step mode is inspired by its counterpart on Airbus airliners, with its famous bumpers.

15 ICONIC AIRBUS-INSPIRED FUNCTIONS

The TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition provides a super realistic and immersive gaming experience with its 15 functions, including realistic buttons and specially designed bumpers for incredible control of the approach and landing sequences.

AEROBRAKE LEVERS AND FLAPS

Use the aerodynamic brake lever to improve the aircraft's drag control with remarkable precision to reduce your airspeed. To increase the lift coefficient at low speeds, flap management is of paramount importance to prevent the aircraft from stalling.

LANDING GEAR LEVER​

An aircraft's landing gear is a classic, legendary and indispensable tool for proper control of post-take-off procedures, as well as on the approach to landings.

This intuitive control helps you save precious time and allows you to focus on other tasks that need to be accomplished on your checklist.

PARKING BRAKE FUNCTION​

Parking brakes are used on commercial aircraft when ground crews are unable to place the chocks. During a storm, or when the ground crew cannot access the airport apron, the parking brake integrated in the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition makes it easier for you to stop and park.
