This article covers 【Airbus公式ライセンス商品】Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition.

Overview

The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition is a faithful replica of the Airbus A320neo throttle quadrant, designed for PC flight simulation. It brings the look and feel of real Airbus cockpit controls to your desk, making it an ideal companion for Microsoft Flight Simulator and other sim titles. Key features include a magnetic HEART (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) sensor for precise, drift-free control, and a modular design that allows you to expand with additional TCA Quadrant Add-On units.

Connectivity & Compatibility

Connectivity is via USB (PC only). The unit works with Thrustmaster's TARGET software for button mapping and profile creation. It is compatible with major flight simulators including Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024), X-Plane 11/12, and Prepar3D. It can be paired with other Thrustmaster products such as the TCA Yoke Pack and TCA Sidestick to build a complete Airbus-style cockpit.

Product Info

Released in May 2021, the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition is priced at around ¥23,230 on Japan (as of June 2026). It comes with a standard 2-year manufacturer warranty. This is a mid-range flight sim peripheral. It sits above entry-level joysticks but below full cockpit setups, offering excellent value for Airbus enthusiasts who want realistic throttle control.

Best Use Cases

  • Airbus fans: Perfect for those who want to replicate the exact feel of an A320neo's autothrottle and engine master switches. - Serious flight simmers: Ideal for intermediate to advanced users of Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane who want more realism than a basic joystick can provide. - Thrustmaster ecosystem users: If you already own a TCA Yoke Pack or TCA Sidestick, this throttle quad adds a cohesive, realistic control set. - Not for: Casual arcade-style flight games (e.g., Ace Combat) where the throttle's specific Airbus behavior won't be fully utilized. ## Alternatives
    A direct competitor is the Logitech G Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant. Logitech's offering is more generic, supporting multiple aircraft types with a single unit. However, the Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant wins on authenticity for Airbus-specific simming. Another option is to buy the TCA Quadrant Add-On (sold separately) to expand the number of switches and levers. The modular design is a key advantage for those who want to grow their setup over time.

Things to Consider

This product is PC-only. It does not work with Xbox or PlayStation consoles. Also, it is not suitable for non-flight-sim games (racing, FPS, etc.), so be sure of your use case before purchasing. Some units may require initial calibration via the TARGET software. This is a one-time setup and ensures smooth operation. Finally, the TCA Quadrant is an Airbus replica. If you prefer Boeing or other aircraft types, consider a more generic throttle quadrant instead.
