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

I have used a few other control yokes over the years and they do not compare to the smooth operation of this one. Best in its class. If you serious about your pitch and roll control this yoke will please you.

Wonderful and professional product

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 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

Excellent

This is probably the best yoke out right now that isn't at or over $1k.Yes it's not push pull like GA but it is all metal internals, hall effect sensors, ridiculously smooth and replicates a Boeing yoke perfectly. Pair this with a Honeycomb Bravo throttle and a Winwing Airbus joystick and you are fully covered for everything.Add the 4th spring included to make the tension similar to the actual airliner.

If you are planning to use 4 engines, just avoid; not sure what kind of scaling Thrustmaster using to design this, you will need to have hug hand to cover all for levers because the spacing is wide. It looks like they designed it first and realize Boeing still have 4 engines plane that people might want to fly and just said you can pair a second one together.The reverser levers are unacceptable, extremely flimsy, any Etsy self 3D print can have better quality than thatThe throttle lever also do not line up at idle or full thrust, there is also a tiny play to it, you can see from one of the review picture easily, but no one think that's an issue?If you plan to only use one throttle quadrant, you might still be ok, it is design for single or twin engines; but you will loose one axis for 2 engines, unlike the old Airbus one there is no add on...The selector knob does give a good feel, but I will not recommend this, spend a bit more get the Honeycomb Bravo, even there customer service is horrible, but the unit is much better, and you can find tons of aftermarket levers on EtsyPS. The shipping from Amazon on this one is horrible, no box just mail out the retail box without even bother to tape the box

Really nice combo if you're a MSFS enthusiast. Price I think is too high for what it offers, but it does work as it should. Do not expect good response of the knobs. They are tricky as hell but you will find it functional.
