The Thrustmaster TCA SKY YOKE is aiming for realism as much as possible and that all starts with sizing. It’s similar to a real aircraft yoke, whether you’re flying a light aircraft or a massive airliner. Pitch is controlled by pushing or pulling over a 3.5-inch (9cm) travel range, with the axis mounted on a steel shaft and a self-centering damping mechanism that has no central detent and a minimal dead zone. The trim wheel moves progressively, so you can stabilise the aircraft without holding the yoke in position, rather than nudging trim with button presses. For everything else, the TCA SKY YOKE has 24 action buttons, an 8-way Point of View hat switch, a mini-stick and two analogue triggers, all positioned so your hands can stay on the yoke through each phase of flight.
Setup is plug and play and it’s integrated into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and into Infinite Flight on iOS and Android, where it’s recognised automatically with preconfigured controls. It also works with the Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals, sold separately, for more precise yaw control.
Flying with a friend? Dual Control lets two TCA SKY YOKE units connect to an Xbox or a PC to share one aircraft, so an instructor can guide a student or a pilot and co-pilot can swap over mid-flight. Control passes from one yoke to the other at the push of a button.
The TCA SKY YOKE costs £169.99 in the UK, with suggested retail prices of 199,99 € in Europe, $199.99 in the US and $199.99 CA in Canada.
