GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
EXCLUSIVE PRECISION TECHNOLOGY
H.E.A.R.T: HallEffect AccuRate Technology
Your TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition joystick features high-precision technology, with:
3D (Hall effect) magnetic sensors on the stick;
−
a magnet: no friction, for unlimited precision and incredible responsiveness that will last;
−
a coil spring on the stick (2.8 mm): for firm, linear and ultra-fluid tension.
−
THROTTLE
Your joystick features a throttle (6), which you can use to easily control your aircraft's engine
thrust.
A virtual button only available on PC (number 17 in the PC mapping) is enabled on the first
20 percent of the throttle's travel, in order to activate the thrust reversers.
