According to FSElite, Thrustmaster will soon unveil new flying yoke, pedal and joystick for PC and XBox.
So, after TCA Airbus Pack Editon + Add-on for Airbus aircraft, which I find pretty decent (but kinda hard to acquire), I do hope they design something for Boeing-type controller (737, 747, 777, 787…) and will get ready for PMDG and QualityWings.
I have just pre-ordered a set of Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo today (for upcoming PMDG 737) before I read this news, and before the prices go up on September 1st. But not too bad, I might have to wait for a while until I get the delivery when those become available. Now I am only flying A320neo with my TCA Pack + Addon, and GA with XBox controller. But I will wait to see if it’s worth to switch to new Thrustmaster yoke system.
Yup, that short intro video said something: “Boeing officially licensed product”. We are likely going to see a Boeing-style yoke and quadrant, probably Boeing 787?
That does look amazing, I have the tca officer pack with the addons and it’s a superb bit of kit
The only thing stopping me getting this is its design in the desk clamp area, it looks lovely but it seems you have to have a particular desk style to get it to fit. My pc desk has slide out drawers attatched to the main desk so I don’t think I could fit it, unless I took the drawers out?
That’s a very interesting yoke design. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like that. Super excited to see so many new flight sim peripherals from major manufacturers - the future looks great.
I’m going to wait for reviews to see how this compares to Honeycomb
The problem I have with this item is the lack of a trim wheel, no flap lever, and no landing gear lever. Also, the column looks like it might possibly be at least a knee banger, if not worse.
