Thrustmaster - TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition

Fire up your engines with the first throttle quadrant for commercial aircraft in the Thrustmaster Civil Aviation (TCA) product range - including the iconic Airbus control panel, for an ultra-realistic flight experience!

Whether or not it’s used in conjunction with the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition (sold separately), the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition is a multifunctional throttle quadrant for civil aviation, featuring a variety of functions which can be assigned to a total of 16 action buttons.

Inspired by the world of civil aviation, for multiple possibilities

• Thrust reverser function for total realism when piloting commercial airliners and civil aircraft
• Thrust levers can be adapted to any style of aviation, thanks to mechanical selectors that let you disable the detents
• Tensioning screw (accessible via the underside of the throttle quadrant): adjust the resistance according to your preferences

Fly with greater levels of realism and immersion

• Exclusive 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 the pitch axis and roll axis
  • Magnetic technology ensures excellent precision that won’t decrease over time
• Ergonomic replica of the Airbus throttle quadrant, for completely realistic takeoffs and landings:
  
  • Thrust levers similar to those found on Airbus aircraft, with thrust reverser mechanism
  • Realistic detents: "Idle" / "Climb" / "Flex" / "TO/GA"
  • Two “Engine Master” selector switches
  • Eight physical action buttons + eight virtual buttons on each axis for the thrust levers (sixteen in total)

Incredible upgradability

• Throttle quadrant includes connectors for upcoming add-ons in the Thrustmaster TCA ecosystem (sold separately)
• Two throttle quadrants can be linked together (additional throttle quadrant sold separately), giving you access to four thrust levers instead of two!
• Ready to be mounted in your own cockpit: two M6 screw threads make mounting quick and easy
• Six rubber pads for perfect stability on a desk or table
• Thrust levers with two axes + connector for Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (sold separately)

Native integration in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

• Plug and play: the device is automatically recognized in the game

Compatible with T.A.R.G.E.T software

• Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software: load or create specific mapping presets for each aircraft, to extend or save all of your favorite settings

Conclusion by FSElite.net:
"The Thrustmaster TCA Throttle Quadrant is a solid product whether you use it in conjunction with the Airbus Sidestick or not. The thrust levers equipped with the reverse thrust latches as well as the engine start switches look and feel like their real-world counterparts which add to the impression of operating a real Airbus. The throttle quadrant does lack build quality when it comes to the engine mode selector the springs used for the reverse thrust latches and the lightweight base. It does use hall effect sensors to register input which almost makes up for the lack of quality elsewhere. If you were thinking of purchasing a new throttle, I would urge you to consider the TCA Throttle Quadrant, even if you fly Boeing or GA from time to time."
