The Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition is an officially licensed flight control system designed for 1:1 scale ergonomic replication of the Airbus A320neo flight deck on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
This flagship bundle integrates the TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition and the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition. Both components utilize H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), employing 3D magnetic sensors to provide 16-bit resolution for precise control inputs. The "X" edition includes an integrated Xbox Guide button and a new ecosystem hub on the sidestick base, allowing for simplified connection of the quadrant and optional rudder pedals through a single USB connection to the console.
TCA Sidestick X: Modular Xbox & PC Control
- Ecosystem Hub: The base of the Sidestick X features two USB-A ports to connect the TCA Quadrant and Thrustmaster rudder systems directly, using only one USB port on the Xbox console.
- Modular Ambidextrous Design: Includes 4 swappable joystick head button modules, enabling configurations for Captain, Co-pilot, or central flight stick setups.
- Enhanced Sensors: 3D Hall Effect (Magnetic) sensors deliver 16-bit resolution (16,384 x 16,384 values) for degradation-free precision on the pitch and roll axes.
- Control Interface: 14 remappable action buttons, a built-in throttle axis with thrust reverser, and a twist rudder (lockable via a physical button).
TCA Quadrant: Precision Engine Management
- Mechanical Detents: The dual-lever throttle quadrant features physical gates for "Idle," "Climb," "Flex," and "TO/GA" power settings, matching official Airbus cockpit procedures.
- Thrust Reversers: Functional triggers on both levers allow for the activation of thrust reverser sequences during the landing roll.
- Adjustable Resistance: Internal tensioning screws allow the user to customize the physical friction of the throttle levers.
- Integrated Switches: Features 8 physical action buttons and 2 secondary selector switches (e.g., for Engine Master 1 and 2).
System Compatibility & Software
- Platform Support: Officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and compatible with Windows 10/11 PC.
- Microsoft Flight Simulator: Features automatic "Plug & Play" mapping for civil aviation aircraft within the MSFS ecosystem on both console and PC.
