Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition — Flight Joystick

Fly Airbus — The Right Way. Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition.

The Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition is a 1:1 ergonomic replica of the iconic Airbus sidestick — the same left-side stick control system found in every real Airbus commercial aircraft. Built for PC flight simulation with officially Airbus-inspired design, it brings the authentic feel of a real cockpit to your desk, complete with integrated throttle, built-in thrust reverser, and Thrustmaster's signature contactless H.E.A.R.T magnetic precision.

Why the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition?

• Inspired by the Real Airbus Sidestick: 1:1 ergonomic scale replica of the iconic Airbus commercial aircraft sidestick — designed for realistic handling and immersion.

• H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology: Contactless 3D magnetic sensors on pitch and roll — no potentiometers, no wear, no drift, unlimited lifespan.

• Versatile Modular Design: 4 swappable joystick head button modules — quickly reconfigure for captain (left seat), co-pilot (right seat), center solo, or small aircraft narrow position.

• Ambidextrous: Works for both left-hand and right-hand pilots — fully reversible setup for any flight style.

• Built-in Thrust Reverser: The integrated throttle lever on the base includes a functional thrust reverser mechanism — a unique airliner feature for perfectly controlled landings.

• Lockable Twist Rudder: Rotate the sidestick handle for rudder input. Lock it for a more realistic commercial flight experience where rudder pedals are preferred.

• Braille-Style Button ID: Raised tactile markers on buttons let you identify controls without looking away from your screen.

• Compatible with Rudder Pedals: Works seamlessly with TFRP Rudder Pedals and Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder (TPR) for full 3-axis rudder control.

• Plug & Play with MSFS: Zero setup needed for Microsoft Flight Simulator — just connect and fly.

• TARGET Software Compatible: Create and share custom profiles with the free T.A.R.G.E.T programming software.
