Good Morning, everytime I watch one of your videos, I think of El Guero Canelo. I went to college out their, good times! The TCA Airbus line up is definitely a great product. But it is limited to those who primary fly Airbus. Although I did learn that you can remove the detents on the throttle allowing it to be usable for Being aircraft as well. With that said, right now, I use the sidestick as my primary flight control and the Bravo as my primary Quadrant. This combo takes care of pretty much all aircraft. It allows me to have much more space on my desk and best of all, no more continuous switching out controls on my desk every time I want to fly a different aircraft. Great review! Can't wait to get a copy of Beyond ATC.
Thank you, what would you really recommend? Because I’m still thinking of the honeycomb bravo with the airbus mod. I like this because it comes with the parking brake and all of that. But what would you recommend?
I use the in comparison super cheap Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X for the A32NX. The twist on the stick is configured to control the tiller. The throttle doesn't have CL and FLX detents like the Airbus version but it has a center detent that I have configured for idle thrust. And below the center detent, I have configured reverse thrust. One downside is that although the throttle is detachable from the stick, the cable is short and there is not enough space for the keyboard between the stick and the throttle.
FYI, "T.O. INHIBIT" is perfectly normal; it's just the warning computer letting you know that it is suppressing/hiding any warnings that aren't critical to takeoff, so you can focus on the takeoff. Same thing happens at landing with "LDG INHIBIT".
The sidestick is okay. I use it on Xbox MSFS and it works fine, but the problem with the throttle lever is that the sleeve of your shirt or jumper will inevitably nudge the lever downwards, and you loose power. Compared to using the xbox controller, the stick is ten times better. And it can be purchased on its own.
They have changed the side stick a bit since I got mine. No daisy chaining on my one and obviously they added more buttons to cater for the xbox users.
that's really annoying that the speedbrake lever doesn't lift up. I guess you could program a button to that? Otherwise going to have virtually do it everytime you move the landing gear basically. I just downloaded MSFS. What is the Fly By Wire you speak of and is it easy to set up? Does it only apply to the Airbus model?
Like your reviews they helped me decide on the FCU from winwing, now debating between this pack or ordering the the honeycomb bravo with the winwing Ursa Minor stick or the Ursa Minor with the thrustmaster throttles and speed brake
I really wish it had a few rotary encoders tbh. I'd rather have that than the engine switches for instance. That way you would have dials for everything you actually use regularly 👍
Nice review. Quick question; I'm going with an XBOX X set up for a number of reasons, for the most part because I just want something basic. If I buy this product, can I take out those detents in the throttle and use this set up for other aircraft and games such as fighter aircraft in MSFS 2020 and War Thunder? I just want a basic set up with an XBOX and a huge screen TV....nice and streamlined.
Congrats, really great video. One question: would it be worth it for use with Flight Simulator but with a more general flight, for example with "light" aircraft, such as Cessna 152 or 172 (…or for Elite Dangerous)? I don't particularly like airliners but I still find the equipment reviewed very beautiful and complete, compared to other solutions. Alternatively, the usual X52 (pro) or X56.
I’m dying for you to do a button mapping video using this flight stick with the Citation Longitude! Just bought this a week ago and pretty much have most of the mapping done but would love to see your suggestions! Question… you mentioned “loading the drivers”. Does this need to be done on a computer first if you’re using it on Xbox???
Please sir I want to ask I was going to buy my first flight sim joystick, and this pack is on top of my list. But I don't want to spend 299$ dollar just to get stuck flying airbus whole time. My question is can I fly any airplane in the sim with joystick pack sir? And if i can reduce the cost, would it be better to just buy yoke and the throttle? Please reply sir, and thank you so much before. (Flight sim that I mainly play is msfs and x-plane)
Only thing I don’t like about the tca pack is that you have to tighten the throttles and even so the right one always produces less thrust than the left one and then there’s the twist rudder that’s sooo bad can’t find a good sensitivity so my airplane just wobbles down the runway
I would highly recommend avoiding this type of controller because of it's internal design. Spend a little more and get something with a hall sensor and non plastic internals. Check Virpil, Winwing ect.
So... I agree on this point, what is tiring is not finding similar equipment, not too expensive, with, above all, a suitable lifespan. Winwingn vkb and the others are more focused on fighter aircraft equipment.... even honeycomb does not seem to be capable of surpassing thrustmaster, in terms of lifespan.
@@THESHADOW97139 The tradeoff is well worth the fighter style controls. You can get a basic throttle from winwing that does not have all the fighter switches on it. But the life to value is rare as they are all metal.
@@JotaroKujo_StarPlatinum Well you can settle for garbage or save up money to get something that is going to last a very long time. 2x the price for 10x the quality.
@@picoproclanhello sir I want to ask, what is the difference between this and the normal TCA airbus captain pack? because this one is 50$ dollar higher than the normal one. Thank you for replying sir
For the money it's a fair price for and entry-level controller setup especially for Xbox players. I have to disagree with you and your hands statement though. Those are hand model hands if I ever saw them! Lol! Great video!
Little bit anal here and not that it really matters, but ideally Engine 2 should be started first, as it feeds the hydraulic systems related to braking/parking brake!
That is actually incorrect. I’m an actual A320 Captain and Engine One is always started first in practice at least at my airline. In theory the manual would allow Engine 2 so be started first but it is not done. In the case of an air cart start the manual requires you to start Engine One first. Part of your pre flight check is checking brake pressure. The accumulator will hold brake pressure for up to 24 hours. If brake pressure is low, then yellow electric pump on for several seconds during preflight will correct the problem.
Great review. I mapped one of the buttons next to the Ignition switch as "Arm Spoilers"

TO inhibit means that you won’t receive any warnings during takeoff roll and is completely normal during takeoff roll
When he said it’s small i was like let’s go because am turning 9 and am really into aviation 5:38
same😂 im a bit older tho
Lucky you still testing BeyondATC !
I really wish it had a few rotary encoders tbh. I'd rather have that than the engine switches for instance. That way you would have dials for everything you actually use regularly 👍
The throttles look even better with my accurate decals applied. ;)
When I use the rudder trim, it doesn't seem to change the value, the little knob moves on the SIM but the value never changes. Why would that be?
Two questions.
1: how do you clamp both stick and throttle down?
2: is the twisting stick a way of taxiing?
The twist can be used for taxing

How does it work with other aircrafts? I mean like other airliners and private jets.
what do you recommend to set the flight stick buttons to?
Hey im a newbie still, what mods do you have for ATC, and the ipad working in the plane?
got to love when the budget controller costs as much as one of the consoles the game runs on
Even better when the crap doesn't work. Don't waste time or money on Thrustmaster crap.
How do you work the flaps, it’s broken on mine
i have a question how do you talk to the atc like that is it a addon that you have to install?
cool video. says July 2023, but it looks like July 2010
I feel it's fair price, considering it comes from thrustmaster. Enjoyed the as always. Slan, Mike 👍
I am going to buy this Thrustmaster TCA Captain's Pack X Airbus Edition, but how can you fly an 4 engine plane with only 2 throtthles? Happy new year.
Whwt is the ATC program you are using? That was pretty cool.
Either BeyondATC or SayIntentions AI
I assume everything is made of plastic - internal and external.
I’m dying for you to do a button mapping video using this flight stick with the Citation Longitude! Just bought this a week ago and pretty much have most of the mapping done but would love to see your suggestions! Question… you mentioned “loading the drivers”. Does this need to be done on a computer first if you’re using it on Xbox???
With Xbox you don't have to
can you use it on a Boeing aircraft?
are the ATC comms AI?
What is the ATC mod?
how do you brake?
For the 787 Dreamliner do I need to do any configuration to the throttle?
I would pull the detents but that's it
how do i use autpilot with this
Does the TCA work on X-Plane 12 as well?
Yes

Your question belongs to me too, have you reached any conclusion or solution? greetings Brazil!😉
Bro. Yes! They work on any plane just hard on helicopters
Yes it works on any airplane
TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition pic hat doesn’t work
Is there any chance that it won’t be supported in fs 2024 ?
Only thing I don’t like about the tca pack is that you have to tighten the throttles and even so the right one always produces less thrust than the left one and then there’s the twist rudder that’s sooo bad can’t find a good sensitivity so my airplane just wobbles down the runway
What ATC addon are you using
It is a pre-release version of Beyond ATC

Not everyone has lots of money

Misleading if you say those are plug and play -- if you are lucky you will get it working, else God bless!!
Just to mention quickly: for XBox it is not possible to buy stick and quadrant seperately nor can you buy the stick itself seperately.
It is possible. A long as you buy the “Sidestick X” which is for xbox, you can buy the throttle quadrant and quadrant addon seperately

Yes

Wait, cause I’m a dumbass how did you get the AI ATC
Soooo… Ehhhmmm… Trustmaster discovered big cardboard boxes ?
Yay !
