Thrustmaster - TCA Yoke & Quadrant Pack Boeing Edition

Take to the skies with official Boeing replica flight controls! The first yoke (1:1 scale yoke wheel) inspired by the iconic Boeing 787, replicating the airliner’s flight kinematics and allowing users to experience the same sensations as real Boeing pilots thanks to Thrustmaster’s PENDUL_R mechanism.

TCA Boeing Edition, Thrustmaster’s new flagship civil aviation range, is a line of products allowing for cutting-edge new features with a highly-specific goal in mind: replicating the different controls, flight kinematics and sensations experienced by real Boeing pilots at the controls of a 787 airliner.

SUSPENDED PENDUL_R MECHANISM
Thrustmaster’s suspended PENDUL_R mechanism replicates the sensations of using a floor-mounted pendular yoke – like those found in real Boeing airliners – in an exciting new way. TCA Yoke Boeing Edition features a long 8.3-inch / 21-cm range of travel.

2 ADDITIONAL AXES
TCA Yoke Boeing Edition features 2 additional axes on its base, allowing for a variety of standalone maneuvers – including the ability to directly take off without having to use a throttle quadrant.

100% METAL FRAME
The yoke’s internal structure is 100% metal, for excellent sturdiness and balanced weight distribution of the controls, allowing for outstanding stability.

ADJUSTABLE SPRINGS
TCA Yoke Boeing Edition lets gamers adjust the number of internal springs (2 to 4 springs can be used simultaneously). This allows users to set the amount of resistance according to their own personal preferences, for truly exceptional control.

SWAPPABLE LEVERS
All throttle quadrant levers (4 included) can be swapped, allowing for an ambidextrous flight experience thanks to the ability to place the speed brake and flaps levers in the user’s choice of position.

BOEING REAL-LIFE LINEAR RESISTANCE FEEL
Inspired by the real-world sensations experienced with the real Boeing Dreamliner throttle quadrant, TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition replicates the actual resistance force felt by pilots when moving the thrust levers up or down.

BOEING AUTOPILOT
TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition includes the iconic Boeing autopilot feature for realistic control of the aircraft’s altitude, airspeed and heading. The design and operation of this rotary knob were also inspired by the real Boeing Dreamliner throttle quadrant.

MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY
TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition features proprietary H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, for surgical precision (16-bit resolution) on each of the flight controllers’ main axes (yoke and throttle quadrant).

Review by X-Plained.com:
"Anyway, the huge Boeing box contains a bit more then I’d expected. [..] The two main components are the huge yoke unit and the elegant throttle quadrant with some Auto Pilot functions on it. The throttle quadrant has some similarities with its Airbus counter part, but the yoke is of course totally different.

Ok, it’s logic that the Boeing yoke is different then the Airbus side-stick, but it’s for Thrustmaster their first yoke design in the flight simulation area and with that in mind, they designed something totally different with an eye to the Boeing Dreamliner look alike yoke and throttle quadrant.

[..] But the overall review should give you a good idea how I experienced the TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition."
