Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms is the TCA Yoke Boeing Edition compatible with?
It is officially licensed by both Boeing and Xbox and works with Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC running Windows. The same yoke covers all three platforms, so you can use it on a console now and move it to a PC simulator later as your setup grows.
Does it work with Microsoft Flight Simulator?
Yes. Thrustmaster built this yoke for civil aviation simulation and it is the most realistic yoke for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with plug and play setup on Xbox and PC. Its pendular design mirrors real Boeing 787 controls, which makes it well suited to airliner flying and reinforcing realistic procedures.
Does the Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing Edition include the throttle quadrant?
No. This is the yoke on its own; the throttle quadrant is sold separately. The matching Boeing quadrant adds the iconic Boeing autopilot and thrust levers for altitude and speed control, but you can fly with the yoke by itself and add the quadrant later if you want it. PilotMall carries a full range of flight sim controls. Check out our Thrustmaster flight sim controls collection for more options.
What makes this yoke more realistic than a basic game controller?
It uses a pendular yoke mechanism inspired by real Boeing airliners and built to 1 to 1 scale on the Boeing 787, giving fluid, lifelike motion. A 100 percent metal internal frame adds durability, while high precision magnetic sensors deliver smooth, accurate input. Adjustable resistance springs let you customize the feel to your liking.
Is the yoke suitable for left handed and right handed pilots?
Yes. It has a configurable design with swappable levers that accommodates both left handed and right handed pilots, so you can set it up to match how you fly. Adjustable resistance springs also let you tune the control feel to your training preference or personal style, which helps when several people share one simulator station.
How does the TCA Yoke Boeing Edition connect to a PC or Xbox?
It connects to your computer or console over USB, so setup is plug and play. On PC the same connection lets you use Thrustmaster's free programming software, and on Xbox it works as a licensed device without needing extra drivers. That makes it easy to start flying soon after you take it out of the box.
Can I program or customize the buttons on PC?
Yes. On PC you can use Thrustmaster's free programming software to remap controls and build custom presets for different aircraft and simulators, so you can tailor the axes and buttons to your preferred setup. On Xbox the yoke uses the console's licensed support and is configured through each game's own control settings.
Can I use rudder pedals with this yoke?
Yes. The yoke works alongside Thrustmaster rudder pedals for yaw control, which adds a more complete and immersive feel for both airliner and general aviation flying. Rudder pedals are sold separately. PilotMall carries a full range of flight sim controls. Check out our Thrustmaster flight sim controls collection for more options.
Is this yoke good for flying small general aviation aircraft, not just airliners?
It is modeled on the Boeing 787 and built for airliner style flying, but it works as a standard control yoke in your simulator and can fly many aircraft types, including general aviation planes. Keep in mind the pendular feel and resistance are tuned for large airliners, so the experience suits Boeing style flying best.
What is the difference between the Boeing yoke and the Airbus sidestick version?
This Boeing Edition uses a traditional control yoke modeled on Boeing airliners, with a pendular motion that pulls and pushes like a real Boeing 787. Thrustmaster's Airbus version instead uses a side mounted control stick that reflects Airbus cockpit design. Choose the Boeing yoke if you prefer Boeing style aircraft and want that authentic yoke feel.
What is the difference between the TCA Yoke and the TCA Yoke Pack bundle?
This is the yoke on its own. The Yoke Pack is a separate bundle that pairs the same yoke with the matching Boeing throttle quadrant for a more complete airliner setup. If you want only the yoke now, this is the right choice, and you can add the quadrant separately whenever you are ready.
