TCA Thrustmaster, is it worth it?

[Phil Tereny]

Im thinking about buying one of them, what do you guys think, is it worth it? What are the down sides of the quadrant?

[Tom van der Elst]

The downsides are the relative small travel when using the throttles for manual thrust

( but on this forum is a thread with a mod for the throttle by Holger Teutsch which I have too and is excellent)

and while the stick is pretty sturdy in feel the throttles feels somewhat more flimsy.

It is no Vier Im Pott or Skalarki stuff.

All in all I am very happy with it though.

I might even get the flaps/parkingbrake addition.

Agreed! I am super happy with the purchase since I only fly a couple of days a week, for that the feeling is definitely there. Of course not like the real thing (not a real life Airbus pilot here) but for the desktop, perfectly fine. I also have the mod for the throttle which makes the throttle set feel much more sturdy if that makes sense.

I got the pack incl.Addon. Really good for FSLabs and Airbus in MSFS2020 ( FlyByWire) . I recommand this pack and `m satisfied with it.

I only own the stick and I like it! I am not a real life pilot but, for the first time, I enjoy hand flying the bus up to FL100 without problem. I also use it to fly gliders in Condor 2, very pleasant!
