Thrustmaster TCA Yoke PACK Boeing Edition (Compatible with Xbox Series X/S, PC)

The Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke is an excellent choice for Xbox Series X MSFS 2020. Here is what I like and dislike/Improvement:Like:- Incredible performance from the Yoke with prefect precision in its movements for operation- Very sturdy and constructed to endure punishment from heavy use- Works perfect for Boing airliners, all commerical airliners, as well as GA airplanes too- Can be paired with either the less expensive TFRP pedals or the expensive TPR pedals- Yoke has plenty of buttons for programming and can be totally standalone if desired- Mounting clamps are very strong with plenty of space for adjustment- Yoke has a small cell phone stand on it, very handy when flight simming- Again, the performance!!! Its way better than many Yokes out thereDislikes/Improvements:- Just know this design is bulky and awkward as it based on a real Boeing Yoke. The base sticks outat least 8-10 inches from where its mounted on a surface and could be a painful surprise for you- The TCA Boeing Throttle Quadrant, if you buy it, isnt made nearly as nice as the Yoke- Missed opportunity to place a document clip on the center of the Yoke, Maybe next time??Get this Yoke! I blows away the competition and the price is well worth it. Even consider the TCA Boeing Throttle Quadrant too. Its not anywhere near the league of the Yoke but its a good addition too.

The yoke is so good. With the extra tension spring I actually feel like I'm in a real plane at times. It's expensive, and xplane nor msfs fully understand what this is. Once programmed its no big deal though. The quadrant is not near the same quality as the yoke. Buttons feel cheap, the knob feels like an actual child's toy and I wouldn't be surprised if it broke. That said, it works well enough. The reverse thrust is just a button - boo. MSFS can't seem to use the "flap" which is sad. Those are minor nitpicks. This is what I've been looking for in terms of VR flying as far as a yoke though. Something that is as convincing as VR. Now if I could only afford that Yaw 2...

I had a chance to test the Honeycomb yoke recently, it was an insult. This Boeing yoke is gentle, very well calibrated, perfect in all respects0 and very realistic for a simulation. The yoke handles every aircraft with a very natural flow, both on difficult departure/arrival routes and during cruise. The stability is unprecedented for a yoke designed for flight simulation and I would not replace this one with any other model. I do not have an opinion on the throttle box, which I have not yet tested, but my goal was to have a superior yoke and that I have! From my initial 'look and feel' of the throttle box, I am pleased with that product as well. I am happy I was able to return the ridiculous Honeycomb cheap wheel and get this one, the serious yoke! I fly several hours every weeks and can't imagine how Honeycomb has the guts to sell their 'joke of a yoke' and expect customers to not notice how bad, unstable and unusable it is. But many fell for it...

I am an expert on flight simulator yokes, I've tried them all, I've modified them, I've made videos about them. I own a top of the line Yoko+ yoke from spain and I am very picky when it comes to them. Since I also fly in real life, I can attest to the feel of at least Cessna aircraft.This yoke is very nice in feel (both movement and comfort). The pitch axis is exceptionally smooth with no annoying center detent which plagues the Honeycomb. It has a lot of travel (great for precise flying).The sensors are Hall effect (no electrical noise or "jittering" in the simulator). The roll axis is also quite smooth and 90 degrees each way. The hat switches and buttons are probably the best placed and best feeling in the market- as they should since it is a 1:1 replica of the real 787 yoke.The throttle is nothing special- it is missing a 4th axis to allow for both flaps and spoiler control- you can have one or the other but not both. The rotary knob on the throttle is not very useful at the moment in MSFS2020 because the rate at which it increments the autopilot setting is so painfully slow that it is useless. The only positive thing about the throttle is the fairly long throttle range and the smoothness- which you may argue is the most important part. The feel of the throttle handles is pretty good though and the reverser handles- which just engage basic switches- are not fancy but work pretty well.I would 100% recommend the yoke, but only 50% the throttle. However, the throttle does a good job at its most basic functions- so I would not hold off on buying the package just because of it. The yoke alone is worth the price of the package.I do think that this unit should be slightly cheaper (300$ range). But considering the niche market and the supply issues, I think the price makes sense.There are just a few minor things I don't like about the yoke however. The mounting system is good and sturdy, but due to the pendular design, the bottom "jaw" of the yoke sticks out into your stomach- depending on how close you sit this may be a problem. The unit is difficult to store- the bottom is not perfectly flat so you have to set it down carefully and hope it does not tip over. The tablet stand is nice- but should have been made to lock into place. If you forget and try to pick up the yoke using the metal stand- it will come out. The default bindings in MSFS2020 are not all correct- you will need to take some time to iron them out. Also I recommend removing the default 5% null zone in the sensitivity settings and maybe adding a -25% to -35% sensitivity reduction on the pitch and roll axes instead. I recommend adding the additional spring that is provided for a heavier feel.EDIT: I also had a problem with the throttle quadrant axes not being in sync around half throttle. I emailed Thrustmaster and promptly got instructions on how to do a factory calibration which should have been included in the manuals/online. If you need to calibrate your throttle: do the following:1. Pull down the three levers. Do not plug the TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition.2. Press and hold the top left button on the quadrant, while plugging the TCA Quadrant Boeing Edition to the Xbox One / Xbox Series X|S / PC with the USB cable.3. Raise the three levers4. Press and hold the top left and top right buttons at the same time to exit the calibration mode
