Get ready for take-off with Thrustmaster's first joystick combining magnetic technology with flight controls inspired by the world of civil aviation (the Airbus A320 family).
Exclusive precision technology: H.E.A.R.T* (HallEffect AccuRate Technology)! 3D magnetic sensors (Hall Effect) in the joystick. (* U.S. Patent: US08471815)
Enjoy the unique feeling of flying an Airbus A320, thanks to the ambidextrous and modular design (with interchangeable joystick head button modules) of the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition.
Description
Versatile and innovative design
Fully ambidextrous and modular joystick, with 4 interchangeable joystick head button modules allowing you to choose between 4 different configurations (right or left seat of an airliner, wide or narrow centre joystick configuration for small aircraft)
Ergonomic replica of the Airbus side joystick (A320 type), integrating thrust reverser mechanism and throttle shaft.
Flies with higher levels of realism and immersion
Unique precision, thanks to H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors:
Surgical precision (i.e. 14-bit resolution: 16,384 x 16,384 values!) for pitch axis and roll axis.
Helical spring (2.8 mm diameter) inside the lever provides firm, linear and fluid tension
New locking mechanism allows you to disable joystick handle rotation, when used in conjunction with a rudder stick (sold separately).
17 action buttons with "braille" style identification!
12 buttons on the base, 4 on the stick and 1 virtual button on the throttle (20% of the bottom of the shaft).
New 8-way point-of-view hat switch, designed for extreme precision
4 independent axes, with rotating rudder (controlled by rotating the joystick handle)
Selector switch allows you to configure the 12 buttons on the base in either left or right handed position
Heavy base for improved stability
Native integration into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
