New Airbus range of products from Thrustmaster

[Samaritano 303]

Thrustmaster is coming out with a new Airbus range of products. They look really nice, specially the throttle quadrant.

Beautiful!

The Airbus family finally gets the hardware it diserves!

Additionally, the price seems reasonable.

Thanks for sharing!

The stick is just T16000M with different color on it.... They don't even bother to make it looks like Airbus' one....

The quadrant looks promising though, But I doubt if it have TOGA button for I want fly other stuff with it...

You are wrong, take a look at the pictures 🙂 It's similar but not exactly the same with a different color. 

In my opinion it looks amazing and I can wait to get my hands on all of this.

Thrustmaster mentioned the controllers are licensed from Airbus.

You are right, seems it's different.... but that make me feel more irritating.... So TM have made a new model for a licnsed piece... and even then it doesn't at least try to make it looks like the real one?

Just tried to pre-order,Seems that they only ship to the UK?

This looks real good, and the best bit is HEART technology. In 2020 nothing else will do. 
And the price is amazing ..just goes to show throttles don’t need to cost hundreds!

Nice, but wish they offered a Tiller.

Cheers, Rob.

Well if you have rudder pedals (I know you do as we got the same MFG's), you can use the stick rotating function as a tiller for ground ops... works great.

Low quality plastic stuff it seems. I'll keep using my Warthog.

Which has the same type of plastic in all the mechanical joints...

I personally will never buy a product from Thrustmaster again. I purchased the TPR Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder from Dell. First off, Dell never stated that the product was coming from a 3rd party (manufacturer). It had a Dell part number and ordered thru Dell, paid for thru my Dell account and paid to Dell. After about a month of very minimal use the right Brake started to hang. It got bad very quick. Go to contact Thrustmaster and you cant because they claim COVID. Yet they are open and marketing the new Airbus products, go figure... I contact Dell for a product replacement. They wont replace the product claiming it came from a 3rd party. Wished it would have stated that when I ordered. So basically I'm stuck with a $550 paperweight. Still under warranty but can't get ahold of anybody at Thrustmaster to process. So they can market and develop these new products but cannot answer emails or pick up the phone.

@Camsdad13, your contract is with Dell, not Thrustmaster. Use distance selling rules to send it back to Dell. Research those rules and you should be covered as we in the U.K. would be. Deal only with Dell.

You could also contact your credit card company if you paid that way.

Thanks Ray. I contacted Dell multiple times. I ask to escalate and they hang up. I reached out on social media and they refuse to honor it. I contacted the Better Business Bureau in which they contacted Dell. I had a lady leave a voicemail. I called her back on 4 separate occasions and she wouldn't call back. Finally yesterday, I held for her and thankfully they didn't hang-up on me. She was the rudest person I think I've ever dealt with. Talking over me out of the gate and refusing to listen. She said Dell isn't going to do anything since it was 3rd party fulfilled thru Dell. This was not stated anywhere when Ipurchased it. The bad part was I financed it thru my Dell Financial Services account and paid it off when I got my statement. Here is the kicker, it went bad the very next day I paid it off. It went from hanging toe brake to full left rudder deflection immediately. In control panel, it was all over the place. Long story short Dell is claiming my contract is with Thrustmaster. Thinking of just giving it to my attorney to handle and go on living life. Getting too old for this word not allowed anymore.

I am obviously talking about the externals, which is mostly made of metal. Tried and returned the Honeycomb Yoke as well precisely because of its lower quality materials.

Could not care less about the mechanical joints. The stick works perfectly well and has been doing so for years.
