I really miss flight sims.... but i found myself messing around in the files more than actually flying! I miss it all..... i did have a thrust master and it was brilliant........Wireless and perfect.
Xbox Version: Here is my review: I had this thing for 1 year now. They need to make it a bit heavier so its feels more realistic, it has that cheap plastic. When you grip the stick it comes off the table because it's light cheap plastic. I strapped mine down with double sided tape. The gameplay setup is realistic I like it though for its price. When you plug it in its all set to go, no configs needed except for some light tweak setups. You can fly 2 engine aircraft but if you want to fly a 747 4 engine aircraft you need to adjust the throttle settings. Many youtube tutorials online. Next: Don't buy rudder pedals to attach to the stick. Waste of money. They are never accurate and you start rolling off the runway. The stick has a nice rudder turn feature. Flaps and spoilers work great. The release brake is accurate. The reversers are a big help, when you land just pull throttle levers back and you can reverse easily. Gear up/down is great. Comes with a giant printed configuration map in the box, but its confusing as hell. Ignore it. Banking left and right pretty accurate and on point. Space. A big fail they did was: No Trim wheel adjustment. Some aircrafts tends to pitch up at high altitudes and its hard to pitch down with the stick to adjust the aircraft back down to the horizon level. Make sure you have enough space to fit the stick, quadrant keyboard and mouse. It took me 2 weeks to adjust to this configuration, at first it will seem a bit hard getting used to flying with a stick and throttle separately, I felt frustrated but I finally mastered my landings.
@@jhallock was the z axis of the stick but depends which SIM you use. The wheel that does the steering would either be nose wheel steering or maybe at a push front wheel. The device used to control it in a commercial aircraft is called a tiller so looking for those would be a good start
I gotta tell ya, though this video is a year old it gave me the one thing I was looking for - The proper way to hook up the cables. I got this as a b-day gift this month (January, 2024). I LOVE IT!!!! There are so many options on what to do with all the buttons it can e a little exhausting. Regardless, great video. And THANK YOU for quickly mention something that may have been obvious to many but not to all. SUB!!! Cheers!!!
I'm looking to get this product, my only concerns are 1 can I use this for any plane on microsoft flight simulator. 2 are there buttons on this to use as rudder pedals
What would you suggest to get for a GA simpilot? Ive got the cheap Logitech 3D Extreme PRO now (Not sure how it got its name). Looking for something alround, but with more buttons (still a joystick though, not antyhing you clamp onto your desktop), but more solid, no mid-problems etc. Fair amount of resistance etc. What to get? I would be great if you have 2 throttle quadrants, and also flaps etc - just like this one, but its just TOO much Airbus for me, as a GA flyer...
Hi, great review. I have a Thrustmaster Hotas One and I’m thinking of upgrading. I game on Xbox series X and was wondering if this works with Elite Dangerous and Star Wars squadrons?
Great Vid but you forgot to mention 2 things: 1. Will this work on any other Aircraft? 2. If you buy only the throttle will it work? (Or do you need to buy both) Example: I know The Boeing Throttle is useless without buying the Yoke because you need to plug it into the Yoke for it to function.
@@AirlinersLive hello sir I know this an old video but I hope you still reply. What is the difference between this and the normal TCA airbus captain pack? because in my country this TCA airbus X is 50$ more expensive than the normal one
I got mine for Christmas, but ran into the problem where the throttle control slides back a bit when put on full or half even. It will not stay. Does anyone have this issue? Reviews from other users are saying the same.
Extremely new to FS so this might be a newbie question: This hardware is geared for the Airbus flying, but can you use it to fly ANY aircraft in FS or just the Airbus gear?
Great video. I'm pairing this with the TPR on my Xbox and the rudders work but not the brakes. The mapping in the manual doesn't match the mapping on the control settings. Do you have any idea on how to map this correctly? Thanks in advance.
I got mine yesterday. I downloaded the software and booted up xplane 11. In the joystick settings both the sidestick and quadrant show up and calibrate however once I load into the Zibo, the Sidestick doesn’t work. The cursor [+] is showing but the quad still works. Any ideas on how to fix this?
hello, did you have any problems when activating the autopilot? I with thrustmaster and controller connected when I activate the autopilot it goes into a bug and it is no longer possible to adjust it
I also bought such a set, but it does not communicate with the console at all! A couple of buttons work on the joystick, nothing more! What could be wrong? Can you help me?
No as you can assign the bindings to the other counterparts. Example, the engine start switches can be binded to the fuel levers in the Boeing 737 etc.
Hey I have the whole setup as well just got the rest of it the other day. Could you please give me a link to a video in English how you calibrate the setup thank you
Question: looking at buying this Hotas, but wondering if I would be able to use the pedals from my thrustmaster steering wheel as my rudder pedals. I’ve got a sim racing seat set up, and it would be really cool if I didn’t have to buy separate rudder pedals for when I’m flying. Thank you!
First, you don't need rudder pedals, and I also have a wheel but with my Thrustmaster and Logitech wheel the pedals don't work as rudder pedals because real pedals have a special kind of "input".
@@AirlinersLive thx for the answer. I am planning to get it and use it on the pc for start, with the future probability that I will get the console also. any chance for you to test and confirm that I can assign the buttons individually please? also the black buttons near the abxy, are they usable?
Do you know if you can buy the actual throttles (not the flaps etc.) Separately that still works for Xbox as the one on the thrust master store says the stand alone throttle only works on PC
If you want extra 2 throttles to make 4 engines it’s not available for Xbox, only PC for now. I checked on Amazon but if the PC one works on Xbox let me know
I've just ordered Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition for myself - it should be at my house tomorrow. I look forward to it since most of my lights nowadays are done on Fenix A320 or FBW A320 Neo. Somehow PMDG 737 seems inferior (and I'm saying that as person who started the flying adventure on MS 2000 / Dreamfleet 737)
Bruh why can’t I buy the pc version of this??? All I can find is this Xbox version of this. I know the Xbox version will work on pc but this version looks dumb with the Xbox buttons on the side.

If you do have rudder pedals, using the yoke twist as the front wheel rudder is quite a nice setup too!
I might try this in my setup, do you remember the name of the steering axis you would bind to the stick twist axis?

Just picked it up. Really looking forward to flying today. Thanks for the information.

1 can I use this for any plane on microsoft flight simulator.
2 are there buttons on this to use as rudder pedals
Thank you for the in depth review, also for the delightful shrubbery. Really made the video in my opinion.
A QUESTION, can I connect only the throttle module to the PC in case I want to use another stick of another brand? Works?
love how your channel is growing so well, i joined when you were at less than 10k and now 200k, wow.. keep up the good content coming, cheers mate.

does the speed break work now? or do you still have to actuate it in game before using it?

Brilliant, very well documented.
just ordered, this video did the trick
Can this be used by MS Flight Simulator beginners? We start with a small single-engine plane - will this work with that? Thanks.
pls answer this
will the throttle work with 4 engine planes without configuring anything??
I can’t be the only one thinking will the joystick not move around on your desk while using it ?
Im a bit late, but it also works for xplane right?
Will the joystick slide on my desk or will it stay in place while im using it? Same with the quadrant.
Is it compatible with ‘Infinite Flight’ on iPad and than I can mirror it on the TV screen? If it does, I’m really looking forward to buy it.
hello. the reverse thrust things feel a little bit stiff. i saw that there were springs but it was very stiff. any reason why?
Wait so can the tca captain pack Airbus edition connect to the Xbox? But not the TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition?
Do you recommend to use this to fly other small aircrafts such has Diamond or Cessna ?
Thank you
I think that'll work fine, just would make more sense having a yoke tho
@@AirlinersLive thank you so much for immediate response and advices
Just bought the Microsoft Flight Simulator. Nice! Will the Thrustmaster Airbus work on all the planes and helicopters in the game?
Yes :)
Personally I like Boeing, but either way I'm not going into commercial jets, I'm planning to join the AF as a fighter pilot
Extremely new to FS so this might be a newbie question:

Yes it can be used across any aircraft you like!

Sorry i am doing a get flamed by yt moms speedrun
Great video guys, looks brilliant, especially the design 👍✈
I'm playing star wars squadron with it, it's amazing
Brilliant review guys! Just one quick question, can you plug your rudder pedals in here and still use it on xbox?

how does it go on a mouse pad like a desk mat, does it slide around or is it pretty stable.
HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF SIDE STICK AS WELL AS THRUST LEVER?
Available for £249.99: www.thrustmaster.com/en-gb/products/tca-captain-pack-x-airbus-edition/
Has anything changed with the x edition? Like springs or sensors in the stick or quadrant?
Hello Airliners Live i want to buy the thrustmaster joystick airbus edition but i have windows 11 is the joystick compatible with windows 11?
Yes :)
How is this device when flying the other aircraft in the game? Is it a waste if you don’t primarily fly the airbus?
No as you can assign the bindings to the other counterparts. Example, the engine start switches can be binded to the fuel levers in the Boeing 737 etc.
@@AirlinersLive thank you!
best setup for flight sims
Do you do giveaways, or have an Idea where I can get cheap used ones under £20 each
The rudder pedals are a must in order to use the thrustmaster tca captain pack ?
Not a requirement :) you can use the TCA pack just fine.
Dose it Work with any plane?
