TCA Sidestick Airbus: detent for reverse?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I wonder if the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus* has a detent (mechanical notch) on the throttle for reverse thrust.

* Legacy Edition for PC only or the new XBOX/PC edition.

Yes but it's very very bad as it has a very reduced length and it's unusable. Also, it's hard to "feel" the detent at least on mine, if i didn't have the throttle module, i would just use the keyboard for it.

Thank you mate. Do you have the "legacy" edition for PC? Or the new XBOX/PC edition?

Mine was purchased when it came out, not 100% sure, but yeah probably the old version.
