Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Edition coming to Xbox
Since its launch, the TCA Airbus Edition range has become a reference in civil aviation simulation on PC. Thrustmaster is proud to bring its range to Xbox with the TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition and the TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition!
These ergonomic replicas of the Airbus sidestick and quadrant (A320/A320neo type, 1:1 scale) are officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S and compatible with PC. You’ll love using the wide variety of controls inspired by those found on real Airbus airliners: button feel and response times, resistance on the thrust levers, the sounds components make when activated, and even how they feel to the touch. Everything is right there at your fingertips for next-level replica flight sessions.
Join us from 8:00 P.M. (CET) on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator Twitch.tv channel to discover the new Airbus range compatible with Xbox Series X|S and PC! Led by our ambassadors and the great MFS team, prepare yourself properly to fly over the clouds aboard your Airbus airliner.
