TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition
by Thrustmaster

There is an everyday growing interest for flight simulation and this attracts various professional
companies that are both able and capable of creating beautiful, realistic and high quality hardware
for the demanding simmer or flight enthusiast.

Whether you are using flight simulation just for fun or for gaining experience before real life
flights, then the market today is certainly very interesting and filled with opportunities to build your
own customized home cockpit.

You can build a replica home cockpit or just a more dynamic home cockpit, the opportunities are
great, and within this review I will take a closer look at a brand new piece of flight simulation
hardware developed by Thrustmaster – their new TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition featuring a
pendular yoke as well as a combined throttle quadrant and autopilot.

HOTAS F/A-18C Hornet Grip
by Thrustmaster

My name is Raymond Andersen and many of you might know me better as Rays Aviation. For several years now, Ihave been testing a large variety of hardware specifically designed for flight simulation purposes, and this time I got a huge opportunity to test a brand new and very exciting product from the company ThrustMaster. The product is their new replica HOTAS F/A-18C Hornet grip that is an independent product however, the grip do need a base from either the HOTAS Warthog or the HOTAS Cougar.

The grip is developed under the Boeing / McDonnell Douglas Official Franchise and is 100% native and integrated into the DCS World F/A-18C Hornet game module. Of course you can also use the grip for other flight simulators as long as they are compatible with OS Win7, 8 or 10 and used on a PC.

TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals
by Thrustmaster

Flight simulation has changed greatly the past decade and is becoming more and more professional
with a high degree of realism, in-depth systems configuration and quality in the software - here both the
platforms which e.g. are upgraded to 64-bit, as well as the add-on aircraft and sceneries. Also the
interest and demand for flight simulation gear has changed, and I believe the interest specifically for
hardware / flight simulation gear is increasing due to better technology providing the simmer with an
increased experience of actually flying an aircraft.

I have for several years now had a keen focus on hardware and flight simulation gear, and this time I
have moved my focus on to the rudder pedals which quite often is an overlooked piece of flight
simulation gear. The various rudder pedals that I have tested before these TPR pedals are all with a
straight forward/backward movement, but this time I have set my eyes on the new pendular rudder
pedals from ThrustMaster. This new and innovative design is in real life not a new design, but it is
within flight simulation and it completely changes the experience of using the rudder pedals – this
absolutely in a very positive way.

Flight Simulator Lite
by Next Level Racing

I find the world of flight simulation to be extremely fascinating and absolutely very interesting seeing all the new developments within both various types of software but also computer hardware and especially dedicated flight simulation gear.

Today I have started a new quest and set my focus on exploring a new branch of flight simulation gear that I have not previously looked into – Flight Cockpits featuring a built-in seat together with everything you need to mount your own hardware on to. You have probably seen cockpits like these before being racing cockpits for e.g. GTA or various other racecar platforms, but now you can also get customizable flight cockpits for the enthusiastic flight simmer, that will fit a great variety of your flight simulation gear and certainly lift your experience and the flight simulation immersion to a higher level.

This review will cover the exciting foldable ‘Flight Cockpit Lite’ flight cockpit created by Next Level Racing and this will be the start of a series of reviews within this very interesting segment.

T.Flight US Air Force Edition Headset by Thrustmaster

The experience of flight simulation will often be better when using hardware on your home setup – this
even more when using high quality hardware that really creates a better atmosphere, an extra feeling of
realism and an enhanced authenticity.

I have for several years been on a quest of testing a variety of hardware, here both replica and nonreplica hardware and now I have come across some very interesting hardware from the manufacturer
‘ThrustMaster’. This review covers their aviation headset named the T.Flight U.S. Air Force Edition.

ThrustMaster creates hardware for several different segments here included for flight simulation and
this review is the first in a series of hardware reviews of ThrustMaster flight simulation products.

TCA Officers Pack Airbus Edition by Thrustmaster

The past decade I have seen flight simulation change greatly and seen many new home cockpit builders
starting up projects of building both authentic but also dynamic or multi-purpose home cockpits to
increase their flight simulation experience. To do so, you need to be able to either build your hardware
yourself, which is actually becoming more and more for everyone since the prices for e.g. 3D printers
and home CNC machines are getting into price ranges where a private person can also afford it, or you
need to have a series of professional companies that will invest in the flight simulation community and
build professional grade hardware to be purchased by the home cockpit builder.

Today we have several professional companies who develop and produce hardware for the home
cockpit builder and one of them is ThrustMaster. In this review I will cover their latest addition for the
flight simulation community – the TCA Officers Pack Airbus Edition which consists of a side stick and
a dual throttle quadrant that both are built as replicas of the real Airbus side stick and throttle quadrant.

TCA Quadrant Add-on Airbus Edition by Thrustmaster

Quality hardware to increase the flight simulation experience is an everyday growing market and new
products keep coming up and being released to the enthusiastic flight simulation community. Some of
the hardware is good and some is outstanding with a high level of professionalism and quality.

I had previously had the exquisite experience of testing a replica Airbus throttle quadrant created by
ThrustMaster – that experience was totally awesome and using the throttle quadrant was a great way of
bringing my flight simulation experience to a higher level. Today I am fortunate to be able to also test
and review the new side pieces for this throttle quadrant, making the quadrant an even more interesting
piece of hardware. The pack that is covered within this review is the TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus
Edition.

T.16000M FSC Flight Pack

by Thrustmaster

My name is Raymond Andersen and some of you might know me better as Rays Aviation – the past
years I have been focusing much on hardware and flight simulation gear which absolutely has been
very interesting and has given me a great experience, understanding of how, as well as a huge network
from all over the globe.

This time I have had the pleasure of testing another set of professional built flight simulation gear that
has been produced by the company ThrustMaster. The product that I have tested is their T16000M FSC
Flight Pack which is a complete simulation pack containing both a flight control stick, a single lever
throttle as well as a set of rudder pedals. I have performed the test on OS Windows10 using both FSX,
Prepar3Dv4, Xplane11 and DCS World as test platforms.

Cessna TPM & B58 Gear Lever

by SimMax

I have now for several years been on a quest of testing various software and hardware materials
created specifically for flight simulation purposes and this time I have found a rather new flightsim
manufacturer www.SimMax.it that sells both blue-prints to aircraft panels and also modules both
plug and play and also modules without the interface card.

This review will cover two of their recently developed products – one is the replica Cessna style
TPM and the other is an independent replica Baron 58 style landing gear lever featuring gear lever
as well as LED lights.

This is the first time I test and review materials from SimMax but the products has defiantly proved
their worth and I was very positively surprised – I do hope you enjoy the write-up of my experience
of these new and exiting products and how they in my opinion performed.
