Those of you flying the 320….

Do you use a joystick for realism, or just go unrealistic with a yoke?

Airbus joystick, placed on the left hand side. This is the way.

Spoken as a True Mandalorian. This is the way. 😉

What version would be the best ATM?
Perhaps I need something until PMDG arrives.

The Thrustmaster TCA sidestick Airbus edition is probably not the best but IMO good value for the money. I‘ve never regretted the purchase.

I have to admit, that i ..... stick with "unrealistic"😬

Well, it is not my fault, that Airbus did not ask me, if they should build their planes with a yoke or not 😄

And the best Airbus ?

[jcomm 5,890]

T16000 + FBW A320 = Success 🙂

As far as I know there's only the FBW A320 NEO. I wouldn't call the default A320 NEO an Airbus....

Waiting for the Fenix to become available.

Whish I could find the time to set my ELITE TQ to go with it - requires FSUIPC 7 freeware version, so, not a big deal, just time for configuring and testing...

I have set up the best "Airbus gear" for my dad.. Thrustmaster throttles + first officer pack, joystick etc.. But my gaming rig is "all Boeing".. Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, TM-Rudder, Logitech-Tiller. Whenever I feel like flying an airbus I do it on his rig, for all other day-2-day flying, I use my honeycomb gear.. The few times I have flown FBW from my rig, I had to use the yoke.. ssshhh.. let it be our dirty little secret...

[Fiorentoni 4,153]

I only have a joystick, so there's that. A joystick works alright with any non-FBW aircraft (I mean a lot of smaller planes have joysticks in real life), but the other way around it's really weird - I can't imagine controlling a FBW-plane with a yoke. That feels like controlling my mouse in Windows with a yoke, just weird.

I do not know d'whey. (Anxious Clicking ensues....)

The only Airbus at this moment is the one from FBW...when flying the bus I use this setup:

- Thrustmaster Sidestick + Quadrant + Quadrant Addon

- Cat3design A320 Steering Tiller V2. Highly recommended and a really nice addon with super high build quality, fast shipment, only 7 days from where the order was placed until delivered (Australia -> Sweden) !

Great setup and very similar to mine, although I don't have the tiller (now added to my shopping list!).  At the moment I used the slider at the bottom of the joystick as my tiller - not the best as you will appreciate.

You just got me to shop for a tiller. That set up looks marvelous. Thanks and cheers!
