This article covers Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant アドオン エアバスエディション (PC).

Overview

The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition is an expansion module designed specifically for the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition (sold separately). By adding this module, you gain realistic control over flaps, speed brake, trim, landing gear, autobrake, and other Airbus-specific functions. It features two magnetic-sensor axes for precise analog input, ten programmable buttons, and five virtual buttons, all mounted on a non-slip base with ten rubber feet for desk stability.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This add-on module connects to the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition via the expansion port on the base unit. It is fully compatible with Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP) and Pendular Rudder (TPR) pedal sets. The entire system connects to a PC via a single USB cable. The module is recognized as a standard game controller in Windows.

Product Info

Released on May 26, 2021, the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition carries a suggested retail price of around ¥22,998 on Japan. The package includes only the module and a quick-start guide; the base TCA Quadrant unit must be purchased separately. It is positioned as a mid-to-high-end expansion for Airbus flight simulation enthusiasts, offering a significant upgrade in immersion for those already invested in the Thrustmaster ecosystem.

Best Use Cases

Ideal for flight simulation enthusiasts who fly Airbus aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane. It is especially suited for users who already own the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition and want to add realistic flap and speed brake controls without building a custom cockpit. It also appeals to serious simmers who demand accurate replicas of real Airbus overhead panel functions.
