Frequently Asked Questions
Which platforms does the Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition work with?
It works with Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC. It is the only flight simulator yoke pack officially licensed by both Boeing and Xbox. On Microsoft Flight Simulator it is automatically recognized, so you can start flying without the complex setup procedures that often frustrate sim pilots.
What is included in the TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition?
The pack bundles the suspended pendular Boeing 787 yoke together with a matching throttle quadrant. The quadrant adds Boeing autopilot controls for altitude, airspeed, and heading, plus four interchangeable levers that include throttle, speed brake, and flaps. Together they recreate an authentic airliner cockpit feel.
How realistic is the yoke and how much travel does it have?
The yoke uses a suspended pendular mechanism that mirrors the control feel experienced by real Boeing pilots, with an 8.3-inch range of travel and adjustable spring resistance. It is built as a 1:1 scale replica of Boeing 787 controls, replicating the exact feel and dimensions of real airliner cockpit equipment.
What sensor technology and how many buttons does the yoke use?
The yoke features advanced magnetic sensor technology across its 35 action buttons, so inputs translate into precise, responsive control rather than the looser feel of generic simulator hardware. The magnetic sensors are designed to stay accurate over time, supporting reliable, repeatable input during detailed flight procedures.
Is the Boeing yoke pack durable and well built?
Yes. The yoke features a 100 percent metal internal structure for longevity and balanced weight distribution, giving it a premium, professional feel. This construction, combined with the licensed full-scale Boeing 787 design, sets it apart from lighter generic simulator hardware built mainly from plastic.
Can the yoke be used on its own without the throttle quadrant?
Yes. The yoke and the throttle quadrant are separate units, so you can connect and fly with just the yoke if you prefer a simpler setup. Adding the included quadrant brings dedicated throttle, speed brake, and flap control for a fuller airliner cockpit experience when you want it.
Does it work with flight simulators other than Microsoft Flight Simulator?
On Microsoft Flight Simulator the pack is automatically recognized, so no manual setup is needed. As a standard USB controller for PC, it can also be used in other simulators, where you typically assign the axes and buttons yourself through that simulator's control settings rather than relying on automatic configuration.
How does the yoke connect to a PC or Xbox?
The yoke connects to your PC or Xbox over a single USB cable, keeping the setup simple and organized. For the most reliable detection and response, it is generally best to plug a flight controller directly into a USB port on the device rather than routing it through a hub or extension cable.
Are rudder pedals included with this pack?
Rudder pedals are not listed among the contents of this pack. The pack is built around the suspended pendular Boeing 787 yoke and its matching throttle quadrant. Pilots who want rudder control typically add a separate set of pedals, since pedals are not part of what is described for this product.
Who is this Boeing yoke pack best suited for?
It suits flight school students practicing procedures at home, content creators who want realistic flight sim controllers for their audience, and aviation professionals who value authentic 1:1 Boeing replica hardware. Anyone wanting genuine airline-quality controls for a home simulation setup, rather than a generic joystick, is a strong fit.
