Is this the ultimate Airbus flying experience?
After more than 30 years of developing high-quality controllers for military flight simulation, Thrustmaster announced its entry into the civil flight simulation market with the Thrustmaster Civil Aviation (TCA) Airbus Edition product range. The product line-up is officially licensed by Airbus and designed to replicate the controls of Airbus airliners.
Its first controller, the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition, was released in 2020 (see the review in Issue 129), followed by the TCA First Officers Pack, which consisted of a Sidestick and a Throttle Quadrant. The TCA Captains Pack Airbus Edition that we will be reviewing in this issue was released earlier this year and includes three TCA controllers in one pack: the Sidestick, Throttle Quadrant and the Quadrant Add-On Pack.
