TCA Sidestick and throttle quadrant

Featured Replies

If I purchased the thrustmaster tca throttle quadrant on its own, then purchased the sidestixk X are they compatible? Cheaper to buy them individually vs as a package?! There’s no quadrant x is there?

Why wouldn't they be?

5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2                                                     

packages are usually a bit better value

If you also want the flap- and airbrake addons I recommend you purchase the TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition. It is currently cheaper than all the separate products combined.
That has the new Xbox compatible sidestick, the quadrant and both addons and is guaranteed to work with both Xbox and PC.

If you are just interested in the quadrant (2 throttles) and the sidestick than the separate products are cheaper than the officer package. I don't know if the quadrant works with Xbox but it probably will.

Because I’m mixing the original quadrant with sidestick x - just making sure before purchasing

Yeah but it’s not which is why I’m asking if they’re compatible

Thanks, yeah I’ll add that on in due courses, trying to stay within budget 

The Thrustmaster TCA stick and throttle quadrant are separate, independent USB devices, so there's no dependence or interaction between them.

I have the sidestick, two of the TCA Airbus throttle quadrants connected side-by-side to make a 4-engine quadrant, plus the flap/gear/speedbrake/parking brake add-ons, and the Boeing TCA yoke.  They all play nice together.

So mix-n-match is no problem.  Generally, the stick+throttle bundle can be found a bit cheaper than buying the components separately.
