[@tonyhodge6801]

A big thank you Captain for an excellent video and review of the Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke and Throttle! It was absolutely fascinating to watch something that passengers never get to see, namely the pilot in command controlling all the inputs on the yoke and the interaction with the throttles. It was a great tutorial on manually flying a Boeing 738 and a great pleasure to watch! I've said it before but you are truly a first class training Captain! If only I was in the position in the real world to benefit from it! Keep up the good work, Sir! Lovely to see Jack! What a beautiful fella he is!

Thrustmaster's going all out on both racing sims and flight sims at an affordable price; I really applaud them for that!

[@bimmy7773]

affordable? its 500 quid

[@se-kmg355]

@@bimmy7773 If you want near to the real thing, you are looking at at least 3x that price.

[@Tom--Ace]

They are affordable compared to similar high end gear, which is usually from small custom manufacturers and hard to get. And a lot of their new gear is way better than other consumer grade products! I just got their TPR pendular rudder pedals, amazing feel, feels very similar to the Cessna 172 I train on! (Just lighter resistance, like most home sim gear) All metal, brilliant quality construction - this is not the Thrustmaster of old I remember making crappy gear! I am very happy to see Thrustmaster improve like this

[@FluePeak]

@@Tom--Ace If you want more resistance just change the springs to stiffer ones.

[@haylieg2780]

Last time I looked at it it was $500 US. Needless to say I ended up getting the Airbus officers edition, which was only $200.

[@chillguy123]

Thank you captain 👨‍✈️, thoroughly enjoyed the video!

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Nicely done on flying a raw data ILS, manual thrust, talking and evaluating, spinning heading and speed bugs. For those of you who don't know, as mentioned, this is a 2 pilot jet, so we depend on knowing our specific duties as PF (Pilot Flying) and PM (Pilot Monitoring). When you are doing everything including talking, teaching, and evaluating, it becomes quite busy flying a desktop PC Simulation. Also, the simulators and feel are usually more sensitive than the real jet or simulator. The lack of Elevator Feel also provides more of a feel challenge for a real Boeing pilot. So, as our Captain demonstrated, and you can see this type of flying on my channel as well, it is actually not an easy task. I appreciate the effort and professionalism of making it look easy, when in fact our eyes, inputs, and tasking are really moving : ), nice job!

[@Canadian76]

Great video and beautiful looking dog. I’m thinking of buying this Yoke and throttle for Christmas and you just made up my mind thanks!!

[@ComposerMathieu]

Review aside, I'd love to see some more videos with the camera on your inputs. It's really nice to see how many small adjustments you make throughout the flight. I thought in such a large aircraft you wouldn't need to worry about them as much as you do in a 172 for example!

[@stephencolbert1511]

Your "play by play" commentary is incredibly interesting for a guy like me who has no flying experience and recently got into flight simming. It's all so foreign sounding (the terminology, that is), but feel like I'm learning a bit via osmosis through this video. Thank you!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Cheers Stephen! We'll get you up and running on VATSIM flying realistic sectors from A to B in no time! First time I've had an osmosis reference on any video, I have a somewhat hazy recollection of something involving potatoes and tissue paper from some Biology experiment at school! FD2S

[@atlantic_love]

Osmosis, lol. A lot like that rubik's cube sitting on my desk with the cross on top, and corresponding color (to white) sitting next to center on each face? And hoping that one day I'll figure it out before I have to pull the stickers. That's osmos :D

[@santy5496]

Does someone knows how to fix the reversers on The Thrustmaster quadrant? since the last update of MSFS2020 i've been having this problem and its that the reverse thrust is not working for me.

[@VLOGS-skyun]

Please pay attention to the position of the spring below, otherwise it will hit the baffle and cause a jam. Turning on a steep slope, because the roll causes the pitch arm to change.

[@alexisonfire9488]

I have just preordered this and I have no money left but cannot wait for it to arrive :)

[@user-ts9xe2xd3p]

Thank you for your great review. Could I use the TOGA switch tho?

[@SweatyCam]

Hey captain, would you be able to show what your yoke sensitivity axes look like in MSFS and X-Plane?

[@coriscotupi]

How is the yoke's reaction at the axes' center points? Is there a clearly defined center, causing that sort of "click spot" as you pass through center, similar to RC transmitter sticks? Or is is smooth (no "click") when going through center?

[@jimh527]

A year ago I was able to get in an actual 737 simulator at a mall in another country. I managed to land the plane successfully at the old Hong Kong airport (Kai tak), banked VFR approach over the city to avoid the mountains. Besides riding in the back, the only flying experience I have is flying WW1/WW2 combat computer simulations. Of course i had an actual pilot sitting in the 2nd seat handling the checklist/ instruments. He barely spoke English. )) I had a blast.

[@Thrust-Set-Simulations]

Now that you have had this awhile, have you applied any curves to the pitch and roll? If so, how have you set it up?

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

Whenever I go back and see Xplanevs sky im again amazed at how MSF nailed the sky in FS2020.

Do you find that the yoke and throttles permit autopilot and auto throttle use without fighting for control between them? I presume it would be just a tweak of the dead and setting if it did.
