Gotta say (and i know i will get hate for this), for the Fact that it would cost me around 1450 Euro incl. Taxes and Fees, PLUS S&H for a "Real Feel", it looks way to much like a thrown together Tincan. The Covers on Top are not aligned, there´re Gaps everywhere and the Heads of the very cheap looking, self tapping Screws are just sitting on Top of everyting instead of being countersunk like in the original Model. Don´t know anything about the Handling and Feeling of it, but it just looks way to Cheap for a 1500+ Euro Addon.
And i just read Throttletek´s Terms & Conditions and it seems like, they deny any form of Responsibilty, as soon as the Package left their Building....No Shipping Insurance...No Responsibilty for lost or damaged Packages, no "Refund for any Reason" unless they can keep a whopping 30% as "Fees" and if you have to send it back for Technical Failures, YOU pay another 2 Rounds of Shipping for Repairs, even if the Problem is THEIR Fault. And an absolute No-Go for me is, they removed PayPal as a Payment Method, so there´s no security for me, as a Customer, that i will get my Product OR my Money back, in case something happens. (Why exactly SHOULD a Company even stop offering PayPal,. if they´re Honest and stand behind their Products?!)
Neither this Addon, nor the Company behind it, has an "Honest" Feel to it.
Just my personal Opinion!
Just when I though I was done spending money for a while.
It never ends!!!
lol as said above, yeah it never ends
@@V1Sim It’s an amazing time to be into flight simming these days.
Hahaha. It never ends buddy.
Tell me about it “credit card in hand!”
Totally agree. I'm an A320 Captain and I've been using the ThrottleTek Airbus throttle for a few years. It is a huge part of my sim hardware. I too use it for maintaining proficiency in V1 cuts and other maneuvers. Makes sim checks a piece of cake. After 32 years as an airline pilot, having a simulator in my house is absolutely awesome. Beats the heck out of the "chair flying" we used to have to do to go over maneuvers! Great video!
Haha yes indeed the old school "close your eyes and chair fly!" Thanks for watching sir!
Could you share setting for throttle in MSFS to me ? I have ThrottleTek Airbus
@@JOLLSDK Which aircraft are you wanting to use it with?
too bad it still doesn’t fully model the real A320 thrust quadrant (engine switches and spoiler arm)… no no for me, especially with that expensive price.
My same thought. If I am going to spend 1200 bucks on this, it better have the exact functionality as the real thing, otherwise, I will just get the 2k one.
Nicceee capt once your happy keep up the good work my PC build is almost done then am back in the sim world 😎🤙
Thank you! Bet ya cant wait to get back in the sim!
@@V1Sim oh yea for sure ive been missing off the sim for couple years now late 2015 fs2004 days 😅😅
V1 about to have a whole cockpit at home too. 🤣 Love your work man. Thanks for sharing!
Lol man I keep telling myself no but it’s headed that way it seems 😂
😍 Oh wow, that this is legit awesome. Very nice quadrant.
You getting one Bro :)
Bro, you keep adding gear like TQ, side stick, MCDU, MCP etc… pretty soon you’ll end up with a legit real life physical cockpit SIM like me. LOL (mine is a 737NG)
LOL It seems to be headed that direction huh?! Thanks for watching
Pretty freaking amazing!
haha thank you Mr. Martini
1200 i expect at least rotary trim wheel which TCA doesnt have
Man, congrats for this great piece of hardware. In the past I've purchased both, the Throttletek B737 and B767 TQ and I can't be more happy. Roberto is a very nice guy and provided me with an outstanding after-purchase support. Happy and safe flights Cpt! ;)
Fantastic to hear! Yes he is indeed, cant thank him enough.
Hey v1, definitely considering the mini-box variant. Just curious did you use a desk mount for it? If so I’d love to know where you got it from.
looks nice but for that price I expect a proper calibration and that both thrust levers give the same output signal at the same position. In this video you can nicely see that this isn't the case. When on approach the right engine is always running lower. Would be interesting to see the drift in between the 2 throttles in a slow motion movement of the throttles and a view on the throttles in the plane. Same issues as the TCA stick
I concur that. Both levers when moved together should indicate the same position in the simulator. This is a big no no, I bet the cheaper a320 levers do that better than this.
Hi, I have some questions. Did you try it in abnormal procedures. For example in double HYD failure??? And the trim wheel is moving during the flight, like in the real airplane??? Finally someone has tried it in toliss software?? Thanks
Still made of plexiglass? My throttle tech 737 throttle is very fragile. I bought mine years ago. Have they improved on build materials and stability? The shipping was outrageous to USA.
Probably depends on the throttle, but I really doubt it lol
I generally don't put too much weight on product reviews done by youtubers who've received the product for free. But thanks for showing it. It sadly misses some important features.. It's not cheap and it's not very realistic. IMHO.
Great Review V1 i dont understand why they go to so much trouble to make it accurate then dont do the most important part the engine starters :)
What's the mod you did for the honeycomb bravo for the speedbrake arm?
Just about thinking to build up such a system. But how do you build it?
Put you the whole box on your desk? Do you have a special desk with a "hole" in it where the throttle box fits in?
Can you give me some hints please or send me a picture how you solved this? And which sidestick are you using?
I would appreciate it very much.
Thanx in advance. Regards from Austria.
I’d really like to see something of better quality than the TCA but still scaled down to fit on a desk. For those of us that need to use our PCs for both work and sim, this is simply just too big.
Also, I picked up some 3D printed inserts for the TCA that solve the insanely stupid equidistant detent issue. Thrustmaster very obviously did it that way to save a couple bucks on plastic parts as the flap handle uses the exact same part.
Did you miss the ending where he talked about the Minibox?
@@RyanBreaker The minibox is still almost double the size of the TCA.
Oh man my wife is gonna be pisssssed lol
Gotta keep it on the down low my friend ;)
Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission 🤣🤣🤣
Too expensive for me😢😢😢
Hi captain ! And thanks for this video. I also have the V3 version of the Throttletek which i love and use it all the time. But with the Fenix, I can't have the full reverse and I don't understand why. It works great with the FBW 320 Neo, but not with the Fenix even if I calibrated it. Do you have the same problem?
Thanks
Super cool piece of flight sim tech and your excitement about it is contagious.
But, are you really supposed to be "hand flying" an Airbus. Just saying....
lol thank you! And YES absolutely, hand flying is a skill that without practice and relying on automation will actually hurt your piloting abilities. Every single trip I do at least 1 flight with no automation during approach and landing.
@@V1Sim Very glad to hear that Capt! All this automation just like you said once will lead to single pilot then......
How has this throttle held up over time? Ive heard that the wiring and electronics inside are pretty cheap. Do you know if this may be true? Im really wanting this for my home cockpit build, which fabrication is almost done now. Just have to put the final paint finish
i need a bigger house for that throttle.
Gg I have every reason not to buy TCA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every reason and then some ;)
would you be able to review the Thrustmaster Airbus TCA after mods?
Is there a link to buying this and maybe a discount code? (yes, I'm a cheap assed retired Airbus Captain)
I wish they had the landing gear on it.
that wouldnt be realistic
@v1-Simulations I know this is a year-old video, but I want to pull the trigger on a higher-quality Airbus Throttle and I want to ask you want do you think about the Throttletek, I couldn't find any video reviews or anything on youtube for this.
Any thoughts?
Good morning ,
I contacted Throttle Tech to inquire about buying one of these. A gentleman from from the company website asked for payment to his personal account. Is that normal? Thanks, Matt .
It is, Roberto from throttletek makes each one of these by order. So the process is a bit unconventional. There are several other users in my discord that have purchased as well if you would like to see their reviews.
@@V1Sim thank you !
How is your desktop sim hardware set up? Do you use any kind of mounts for this specifically, as it’s quite a bit larger than my current TCA Airbus quadrant
at this point ur just 1000 euros away of building a real homecockpit
Looks good but is it size 1 to 1?
Is this compatible with any 2 engine Airbus model or specific to the A320?
Hey man, what do you have this massive throttle sitting on?
I was telling myself "no, you shouldn't spend that much money on flight sim"... Then you switched on the backlight 😆
1250 dollars? Thanks, but no thanks.
1200USD? I love flight simming and all but nahh. Would be more tempted to make my own since I own a 3D printer and know a thing or 2 about electronics and wiring them up. Would be an interesting project for sure altho I already have a different kind of project going on.
I would rather pay 2k for the realist one he mentioned or the $300 for the TCA. that middle ground doesn't sound so middle ground as he says. At $800 perhaps, but $1200 is too much.
IF you hear 5 as a GPWS callout you know its butter
hello, the video is very good, could you make one explaining how to configure the tiller of cat3design in the fenix? I have it and I can't get it to work with the fenix, thank you very much
I just ordered one and looking forward to getting mine in April. It will be a big step up from my Thrustmaster setup.
Roberto just finished up mine and will be shipping it tomorrow! I can't wait, this is better than Christmas.
I was thinking or the thrustmaster one, but then found this… thx
Rock 'n' roll!
How much? Should be the #1 item listed in the description below the video... Enquiring minds want to know.
Minibox 650$ Full V3 Flight box (as seen) $1200.
If I place the order do you know about how long till delivery?
Check with Roberto from throttletek here roberto@throttletek.com Tell him V1 sent ya
Currently 2 months, just asked last night.
every thing looks good but ther is no gear up or gear down
It isn't in real life either, that's on the instrument panel, the MIP
@@sundar999 oh yeah you’re right lol no biggie. I use voice attack anyway to set my altitudes and gear up, gear down

Will the trim wheel rotate automatically during autopilot?
Thank you for always sharing your expirience with all of us. This V3 Trottle is a game changer.
Can’t wait to see your future livestreams with this. Nice one V1
Oh man I’m super interested. Great stuff.
Looks too cool . What stick do yo use?
I was debating whether i should buy this……i have their 737 throttle quadrant and it’s amazing. I’m guessing u feel the same with the A320 box? Can u do a video walking thru the bindings in msfs?
I will be showing this on streams coming up soon and yes I will go over bindings, but I can say with confidence as of right now in MSFS and the Fenix A320 it works great. Same with Xp11 which is even easier to bind
@@V1Sim where do u bind the landing gear handle? Seems like they didn’t have that switch :(
Now start recording Professional Series II. No excuses! 😉
Oh man i know! lol
work in fenixA320??
great vid does the quadrent come connected also what city did u takeoff from
Only assembly is the top part of the thrust levers with 2 Philips screw drivers, very easy. Also KMSY
Do the trim wheels spin?
I don’t see the mini version the link don’t work
Try this throttletek.com/a320-throttle-minibox/
I hope that one day you will test the boeing 737 one.
After my experience with the Airbus one, I too have peaked my interest in several of the others that they sell lol Very possible
one quick question how do you even get this
go to their website
What do you plan to use for a Gear lever?
G lol wishing I ordered the Cat3 Gear lever when I had he chance
Hoo lee fuk
ooh wow
I seldom use a credit card, but....
Lol!
Seldom!!!ahahaha
Looks amazing!
It is!!
Great that there's a high quality and affordable throttle, but I'm really waiting for an equivalent MCDU and FCU that actually work with Fenix/MSFS.
Im sure it will come in time, the sim is still young
@@V1Sim is there hardware support for a MCDU though? I have to wonder about what Fenix are allowed to do with regards to supporting hardware because of the agreement they have with ProSim as in that agreement they can’t support home cockpits.
I’d just be happy if they add a MCDU to the EFB web server so I can use a second cheap tablet for that.
At $1200 US that is quite steep IMHO... looks very good tho, I like that its all the same as what you get in the actual A/C
Definitely geared for the serious simmer, however check out the A320 Minibox, I talk about it a bit in the end. Comes in around $650USD and there is nothing "mini" about it. Cheers!
Can we buy by credit card?
