Review on Thrustmaster TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition for Windows by Brandy Robinson

PLEASE DO NOT BUY Now I've had this stick for approx. I upgraded from Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. At full functionality, the joystick is a bit below average, although it's fine considering it's a copy of a real Airbus side joystick, but the buttons on the base are really bulky and not ergonomic, and sometimes it is hard to tell which one you are without pressing is not so much and great in my opinion, especially when playing in virtual reality. However, the throttle is very functional, the buttons are easy to find as there are few and they are very well done. Even though it's all plastic and feels so cheap, it's light and doesn't look like a ThrustMaster product, I just want to point out how unsatisfying this product is. This joystick was developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and comes pre-configured for this game, but also works fairly well with a number of other flight simulators such as Xplane11, FSX and DCS. The throttle, on the other hand, is a bit finicky. I'm having trouble getting it to work on Xp11 and find it impossible to use it as a choke in DCS (DCS recognizes it as a stick, not a choke). Although I love the stick and have had a few minor issues with it apart from what was stated. Overall, I actually despise this product because it's an overpriced piece of junk, it's not worth the asking price, it should be $50, it doesn't deserve the ThrustMaster name, and I'd recommend saving a little more and just getting a warthog to get. that works with almost anything, or get a honeycomb clamp. I plan to get a refund for this or a new one from ThrustMaster soon. If it weren't so expensive I'd say it's good, but it just doesn't justify the high price for the performance you're getting. My 6 year old $45 Logitech Extreme 3D Pro performed better than this, worked with every game and was actually very functional and sturdy. Again, please don't buy this, save your money. It was a big regret buying it as I don't plan on keeping it all year so I want to drop that stick and choke.
