Here it is!

Thrustmaster has officially announced the TCA Boeing Yoke and Throttle Quadrant.

Thrustmaster is now officially licenced with both Airbus and Boeing to offer simmers the option between the two largest aircraft manufacturers.


The first yoke from the company has been announced by the company and it is certainly a different design. Thrustmaster states that to replicate the perpendicular yoke design on airliners, they have created a very unique one within the sector.

The interior of the yoke is 100% metal, for the best construction quality and feeling while using it.

Full reveal will be on November 9th, Tim states that not much more info will be given before then.

During the Q&A session, it has become apparent that the flap and speed brake lever are interchangeable, you can choose whether you want a flap or speed brake lever on your throttle quadrant using the 3 available axes.
