Ha! Thanks. It’s not my best landing however it’s way more near wrecking to land a plane whilst on video and talking! I’ll record another video soon comparing flight simulator on my new 4070 gaming pc versus on my Xbox Series X.
Hello Hans, I actually watched your video first before buying this product. Thank You.... Xbox Version: Here is my review: I had this thing for 1 year now. They need to make it a bit heavier so its feels more realistic, it has that cheap plastic. When you grip the stick it comes off the table because it's light cheap plastic. I strapped mine down with double sided tape. The gameplay setup is realistic I like it though for its price. When you plug it in its all set to go, no configs needed except for some light tweak setups. You can fly 2 engine aircraft but if you want to fly a 747 4 engine aircraft you need to adjust the throttle settings. Many youtube tutorials online. Next: Don't buy rudder pedals to attach to the stick. Waste of money. They are never accurate and you start rolling off the runway. The stick has a nice rudder turn feature. Flaps and spoilers work great. The release brake is accurate. The reversers are a big help, when you land just pull throttle levers back and you can reverse easily. Gear up/down is great. Comes with a giant printed configuration map in the box, but its confusing as hell. Ignore it. Banking left and right pretty accurate and on point. Space. A big fail they did was: No Trim wheel adjustment. Some aircrafts tends to pitch up at high altitudes and its hard to pitch down with the stick to adjust the aircraft back down to the horizon level. Make sure you have enough space to fit the stick, quadrant keyboard and mouse. It took me 2 weeks to adjust to this configuration, at first it will seem a bit hard getting used to flying with a stick and throttle separately, I felt frustrated but I finally mastered my landings.
Thanks for your review. I had mastered landing and flying using the controller and it did take me 2-3 weeks to get used to the TCA. Your insights on the pedals is great. Personally I don't find steering using stick to be bother some. However I have been tempted to buy additional throttles to make flying four engine planes easier. Regarding the joystick, yes it's light. Now i am thinking that I should maybe stick on velcros and add some removable weights to it.
I’m getting the hotas one for Christmas and the only reason I chose that over this is because I want to use a joystick in ace combat 7 and War thunder. But the airbus one won’t be as realistic for those games because it is made for airlines, the hotas one is made for fighter jets.
@@HonestHans365 That is very good to know-I have a very similar concern, so I’ve gone ahead and picked up an extension as well. Thanks for the quick help!
For whom don't recognize the quadrant on xbox, actually it Do recognize, but as it is enslaved to the sidestick, it only appears in photo on control option, but if you scan for example the gear knob you will see that quadrant works!!
I already have the standalone side stick X, do I have to repurchase the whole package for the quadrant to work on xbox? or can I just buy them separately? I heard a lot of xbox users can't get to work the standalone quadrants.
You are welcome! It's plug and play and works straight away out of the box. No need to touch a single setting or disconnect the controller. I can also seamlessly switch between TCA, controller and mouse. The compatibility and software is 10/10 so far.
@@HonestHans365 thank you very much for letting me know! I ordered it today for Christmas so I’ll give it a try and let you know what I think about it!
@@HonestHans365 I’ve had a problem where the flaps lever and spoilers don’t work properly and when I switch them both into position 1, they go directly into full flaps and full spoilers. Do you have a fix in settings for this?
Hey Hans, just wanted to ask you a question. I’ve had the TCA Captains Pack Xbox edition for around 3 weeks now but have had some troubles. When I connect the side stick to msfs the game recognises it but when I then try to connect the throttle quadrant msfs doesn’t recognises the throttle quadrant. For some reason only the side stick works. Any help from you you anyone would be greatly appreciated ❤
I’m wondering if I buy just the Xbox Sidestick version and Can I connect non Xbox throttle quadrant to this Sidestick and play on Xbox X? Just to save some money!
For me, the thrust levers are not 100% in sync with those in the airplane. When I engage the levers in CL, they are a little underneath in the airplane. Is this the same for you? Is it possible to calibrate this? How do I have to do that?
@@HonestHans365 I have just ordered this controller after watching your video, and I intend to use it for the MFS and also Ace Combat 7, will let you know if the controller works well with the arcade game.
I also bought such a set, but it does not communicate with the console at all! A couple of buttons work on the joystick, nothing more! What could be wrong? Can you help me?
Habe es gestern bekommen, funktioniert grundsätzlich. Die Belegung der Zusatztasten wie Autopilot und Co sind leider manuell nachzupflegen. Zumindest an meiner Xbox
@@michaeldandl9012Hallo Ist zwar sehr spät aber trotzdem wollte ich dich fragen, ist das grosser Aufwand Tasten wie Autopilot nach dem Kauf hinzuzufügen oder ist das einfach nur Einstellungen und Fertig? Lg
Yes, it supports two different types of rudder pedals! The joystick has a headphone jack, one USB port to computer, two usb ports with one being used for throttle quandrant and the throttle quandrants has a proprietary port for other accessories.
@@GreenNeonLine You will love it. I am amazed by how precise the thrust levers are. A change is even recognised when they are moved 1mm - this makes fine tuning for landing significantly easier than long pressing A and B buttons on a controller.
@@HonestHans365 Thank you so much for the info! Can you share a link just so I have a better idea of what it looks like and I can grab it before Friday? Have a great day/evening.
Yes. Out of the box they are moved independently for thrust differention. However a pin is included which enables you to lock the throttles together. I also believe that you can buy and attach another throttle unit for controlling four engines independently.
Quick one Sir. Is it mandatory that you buy another extra throttle quadrant if one wishes to fly a 4-engine aircraft or can you use the 2 engine throttle quadrant to fly a 4 engine aircraft by mapping 2 engines per throttle lever?
Excellent question! I have flown planes with 4 egis and have only been able to control two engines with the throttle levers. However I haven't gone into the settings to check if I can map engines 3-4 to the same lever as 1 and 2 respectively.
quality is good !!!!! WTF did i receive something else ?? because mine was cheap cheap plastic used only for cheap cheap toys like barbie car haahhhahaha))))) CHANGE YOUR DEFINITION OF QUALITY M8
Sorry that you are disappointed by the quality. I have owned many gaming and PC peripherals throughout my life. Unless you are willing to spend £500+ on accessories I find that fit and finish of this kit is above average and better than I expected.
It's cheaper than real flight lessons and you can fly wherever you like in a generous choice of aircrafts and wealth conditions. Consider it a hobby or supplement to real flying :)
Congratulations you’ve passed your Ryan air flight exam 🎉
Looks cool. Still waiting for descent FCP from Thrustmaster and we can have a lot of fun and also a lot learning 😀
Thanks for the video! for the mapping check out the box as you have a poster with all the info!
You are very welcome :D
Thanks man you really helped my understand this product more thanks
You are welcome! :)
You've passed to the Ryanair test 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good choice! Buy the accessories for the aircrafts that you fly. Let us know how you get on with it!
@@HonestHans365I gues he never let us know :(
Great review! I’m curious, how long is the USB cable that’s included? I can’t find this listed anywhere!
It's 1.75m. I have purchased a usb extension cable. This allows me to use it on my couch with some cable slack incase my kids foot catch it.
@@HonestHans365 That is very good to know-I have a very similar concern, so I’ve gone ahead and picked up an extension as well. Thanks for the quick help!
Thanks for your review

Just earned a sub!
What country are you in and do u know if it’s available in austraila
I’m in the UK. It’s available worldwide but stock availability is currently very low.
Damn, i really wish i could afford that… its so dumb that it cost 2x more just to use it on Xbox. Thanks for the review tho! 👍
Don’t worry. In 6-12months the Xbox edition will be 30-40% cheaper than now. I see that you are Norwegian. I have been to Narvik and Sandefjord :)
@@HonestHans365 Yeah i really hope it gets cheaper! Cool that you have visited Norway! 😄
Nice! I have one on order. How are things in the A310, especially getting the throttle calibrated?
Same here
Hey man
Can you please make a video on A320NEO V2 using the same controller.
seems like my TCA doesn’t realize other planes except A320 neo
I already have the standalone side stick X, do I have to repurchase the whole package for the quadrant to work on xbox? or can I just buy them separately? I heard a lot of xbox users can't get to work the standalone quadrants.
That is a good question because I have considered buying a 2nd quadrants for 4 engine aircrafts. I might pull the trigger and do a video on it.
Thanks for the review.
When you plug it in to your Xbox does it work straight away or is there a setup process?
Thanks

Same
Good morning! Did you get the kit for Christmas? Check that you have connected the wuqndrent as per the instruction. It's easy to make a mistake :)
Yes, it was my friends quadrant and I got it fixed for him a few days later, I also got my one and I'm enjoying it! Thanks for the help in this video

When you finish with this Instead of throwing it in the box to rott pls send it to me
I’ve plugged my joystick in, but it’s not recognising it. Any suggestions?
Can I still fly bring aircraft with it even though it is an airbus controller
Would it be uncomfortable when my throttle would still be my controller because i only bought the joystick (apologises for my English)
Good starting point! You can always buy a thrust quadrant down the line if you wish :)
Nice video! Do use FS on my Xbox S, and I’m considering buying the set from TM.. how come you connect your mouse 🐁 on your XBox?
You can get wireless mouses with a little usb that plugs into the back
where to buy? can you put a link in the description?
Hi I do have TCA captain pack X and I connection everything with my xbox X and seem not working how can I solve this problem? Thanks!
Is neither the Joystick or throttle quadrant working? Have you tried in flight simulator and connected the devices as per the manual?
@@HonestHans365 I found and solve problem.
@@scubadiver250 wohoo! Great to hear. have a safe flight! =D
@@HonestHans365 unfountrly I can't not able to use American Airline have other deigns not like airbus thrustmaster
2:25 If I buy the pc version instead of the xbox edition will it still work on xbox?
The PC version is not Xbox compatible. Only buy the version that has been licenced for XBOX.
@@HonestHans365 OHHHH OK thank you. I was really about to buy the one for pc for my xbox
I got the Boeing edition cuz I need to practice for my ppl
What are your thoughts on the Boeing Edition? Does it work well with other planes?
can i use all the devices (joystick throttle and the add-ons) on pc as well if i buy the Xbox version?
Yes. It’s Xbox and PC compatible :)
hey how long is the usb cable and how close is your series x to your couch?
Great video! Very casual but very informative, have you tried the controller with other games like Ace Combat? Cheers!
Thanks! No I haven't tried the controller with any other game? Do you have any flight or arcade games to recommend that are easy to map a joystick to?
@@HonestHans365 I have just ordered this controller after watching your video, and I intend to use it for the MFS and also Ace Combat 7, will let you know if the controller works well with the arcade game.

Can you control the rudder with the side stick?
Yes :) By twisting the joystick left or right.
Question do you know if it has the port for the thrustmaster rudder pedals
Yes, it supports two different types of rudder pedals! The joystick has a headphone jack, one USB port to computer, two usb ports with one being used for throttle quandrant and the throttle quandrants has a proprietary port for other accessories.

How long is the cable that connects to the USB of the Xbox to the actual throttle? I just ordered it today it comes Friday 😀
Congrats on the order! You will be delighted. Two cable are included. They are identical and roughly 1.2-1.5m.
@@HonestHans365 Thanks I was just hoping it would be long enough so it can reach from where my xbox is sitting.
@@DarksideGaming848 I use a USB extension cord. You can buy one for very little money now that black Friday deals are on.

@@DarksideGaming848 You are very welcome! Buy a USB A to A extension cable.
I’m not sure if you did said it’s available for series s also is it available for Xbox series s??
Yes. It’s Series S compatible :)
Don't use a controller to fly a plane, use the throttle and stick.
Want to play sometime
Flight simulator has a learning curve but is rewarding to play!
Hey, can u play msfs without having game pass?
Hello! You can purchase and play flight simulator without gamepass or gold.
How do you map the buttons?
In flight simulator you can map them your liking in settings.
Can you move the throttles separately?
Yes. Out of the box they are moved independently for thrust differention. However a pin is included which enables you to lock the throttles together. I also believe that you can buy and attach another throttle unit for controlling four engines independently.
