Amazon now offers the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition for $69.99 shipped. Normally at $90, this 22% discount marks a new all-time low price we’ve seen for this joystick. Officially licensed by Airbus, the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick is its first civil aviation-related gaming accessory designed to create a realistic flight experience. The joystick is a 1:1 scale replica of the iconic Airbus side stick found in the A320/A320neo and features 12 remappable action buttons with a modular design to suit your needs and the HEART system (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) from Thrustmaster which has no physical connection with the joystick for an effectively unlimited lifespan. This side stick is the best first step into Thrustmaster’s ecosystem of Airbus TCA aeronautical products. Whether you’re flying in Microsoft’s new flight simulator or other simulation games, this stick will help increase immersion. See below to find out more.

If you don’t care about theming and prefer a more dynamic setup, you can instead opt for the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 for PlayStation 4 and PC at $70. No matter what type of flight you want to perform, the T.Flight HOTAS 4 is perfect for virtually any situation with a dedicated throttle and joystick that can be separated for a more ergonomic setup. The joystick features adjustable resistance so you can configure the setup to your preference whether you want a loose or tight stick. Otherwise, you’re looking at a dual rudder system with control done either by twisting the joystick or using the rocker on the back of the throttle. I have the T.Flight HOTAS X and it has worked well for me for the past two years in games like Microsoft Flight Simulator and DCS World.
