Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition Review

Packaging & Accessories

It’s a pretty compact box, not much bigger than the stick its self, but it feels very durable and well protected.

Inside that box is another box. Albeit, this is the pretty retail box with some gorgeous night flying graphics on the sides, as well as big and clear photos of the stick from every angle.

All the main features and detailed in-depth on the box too, as well as broken down into multiple languages.

They also showcase all of the extra products you can add to your configuration.

Cleared for takeoff!

Open the box up and you’ll find a simple setup guide. This is important as it shows you how to replace some of the modular switches.

A layer of bracing carboard is placed at the top and bottom to keep it secure.

Plus, the stick comes wrapped in thick plastic, while the switches are wrapped in soft foam bags.
