Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition - Officially Licensed for Xbox Series X|S and PC

Product Information

As mentioned before, the real size of the TCA components is a bit bigger but when Thrustmaster had made it the real size, then it will be too big on your desk. Besides that, is it really worth to have the same size? My personal opinion is that this size is perfect and all the buttons, selectors, switches and levers work smooth, detents are noticeable, so only one word is needed …. awesome! Flug-Controller sind nicht mit Spielen im CLOUD GAMING- oder STREAMING-Modus kompatibel (insbesondere nicht mit GAME PASS, Xbox Remote Play, PlayStation®Plus, GeForce NOW, Luna, …). Im CLOUD GAMING- oder STREAMING-Modus sind nur Standard-Gamepads kompatibel. Airbus replica feeling action buttons and 4 axes on the Quadrant for a multitude of possibilities in flight

The PARK BRK lever normally has ON and OFF text on the sub pedestal panel, but in this design there’s not really space for that, so Thrustmaster left that out. The PARK BRK lever works very simple as it is now; when you can read the text PARK BRK then you’ve released the parking brake else the brakes are SET. Quadrant Part I : Throttle Alignment Calibration Out of the box the throttle movement is in my humble opinion a bit too loose, so I need to tighten the screw on the front of the quadrant a bit knowing this is a personal preference. Before I forget it, this “friction” adjustment is also possible for the SPEED BRK and FLAP handle. To adjust the friction, use a small included tool with on one end the Philips screwdriver. Turn the screw gentle to more friction, and no need to over tighten. Perhaps half a turn or maximum a full turn is already enough to give the throttle lever a move resistent movement.

Although the ENGINE MASTER switches look like metal, they don’t feel cold so I assume these are made of plastic or a sort of plastic. All the rotary selectors including the PARK BRK lever have firm in-between positions or in case for the PARK BRK lever the end position. It feels solid.

Basically the steps to follow aren’t difficult, as long as you follow the instructions. When you do that, you can use the A350 with the TCA Captains equipment. The steps to follow are:

This way of assigniment clearly doesn’t work. I don’t know why this happens but we can solve it as mentioned in a previous post, thus by assigning via the input list. Further steps aren’t needed. As Eugeny Romanov from JARDesign said to me “it should work out of the box” and I can confirm that this is correct. However, a couple of things are different compared to what I saw with the ToLiss. Advantage of the JARDesign aircraft is that no other software or script is needed to get it working with the TCA equipment except from the steps above to perform.It may not look all that high-end, but its motion is extremely smooth and the moderate spring-based lets you make fine-grain movements with total confidence. See the following movie that shows you more or less all the steps to perform, at least, I tried not to forget something. First you see the calibration process followed by the adjustments for the thrust reverser in the ToLiss ISCS and finally, the configuration of the SPEEDBRAKE ARM point. The SPEEDBRAKE lever on the TCA has no option to pull the handle when in the RETRACT position, so another way is provided to simulate this ARM position.
