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.

I have to agree with many of the other reviews mentioning how great the Yoke is, and how not so great the Throttle is. The Yoke is built with quality materials and the axis movement is super smooth and accurate. The Throttle feels much less sturdy than the yoke, and the levers are a tiny-bit wobbly, although the axis movement is very smooth, but I would like to adjust (none present) the tension to make the axis a little stiffer. The knob which adjusts the HDG/IAS/ALT bug is slow to adjust and really jumpy, you have to turn is very slowly for the adjustment to keep up properly. It really feels like the engineering time was spent on making a great yoke, and the throttle was hurried into production, just so both could be released as a combo together... which is sad based on the $499 price tag. Overall, if you want to simulate the yoke of a commercial jet, it's a terrific yoke and a so-so throttle. If you don't have any other throttle options, then it will work well with the throttle axis, but the autopilot knob is sketchy at best. You can also just buy the Yoke and use the two small sliders as an alternate throttle method. Maybe future drivers can help with the throttle issues.

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...

The media could not be loaded. The first year of using the product went fine; Smooth like butter. However, after about a year and a half, it started creaking a bit, nothing too concerning. Then, it would start erratically changing inputs when rolling the yoke at the center of the pitch axis. This makes it very hard to fly. This is all caused by a defective solder joint on all thrustmaster TCA products. The joint is so weak that it starts malfunctioning after enough use. This happened to occur after the 1 year warranty expired, and now they are trying to charge me nearly 150 dollars to fix it, NOT INCLUDING THE EXPENSIVE ROUND TRIP SHIPPING! Thrustmaster is a joke of a company, and this type of quality should not be expected when it is a Boeing licensed product. Never buying a thrustmaster product again and will happily stick to logitech.

Throttle 7/10:This whole things works great on X-Plane 11 right out of the box! Very smooth and accurate operation. It feels a little more quality than some controllers but still a cheap plasticy feel. I only really have a couple minor complaints about it.1) The rotary knob is terrible. Feels like I’m breaking it’s internal components every time I twist it. Ended up not even using it because of how cheap it was.2) No dust guards over the throttle levers. Just a big wide open gap to be clogged over time.3) Wish there was more weight to it in the base. It has rubber feet but it still slides around my table . Highly recommend getting a mount of some sort to lock it down in place.Other than that, it works great. I have no regrets and would buy it again! Have not tried it on an xbox, but there are passthrough USB ports that look like it would be simple to do.Yoke 9.5/10:The Yoke is MUCH better than the throttles. Well built. Plastic but feels smooth and quality. Springs end up creating an odd dead zone in the middle. Wish the design would have had a little better transition so it glides through that mid section better. Instead it just kind of “thunks” into the middle and I find myself getting into the bad habit of flying with the trim. Otherwise a great product!

Really nice beginner quadrant for someone who is looking into getting into the hobby on flight simulators. It was really easy to pair up in MSFS and the buttons feel really nice for the price. No complaints!
