Airbus & Boeing Setup

AirbusThrustmaster Airbus Set

Airbus Set

Whenever I'm flying Airbus in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I use the Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Captain Pack X. It is compatible with my Xbox Series S and my PC. Easy to setup and great when combined with my TFRP rudder pedals.

Boeing Set

I love this heavy duty Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and throttle set. It is a must when flying Boeing aircraft such as the 737, 777 and 787. It is designed as a replica of the Boeing 787 but its features are versatile to use with any Boeing and other yoke-based aircraft.

Rudder Pedals

What's really awesome about using rudder pedals is how immersive your flight sim experience becomes. I use these with my Airbus, Boeing and T.Flight Hotas One controls and it brings the experience to the next level, literally.

VelocityOne

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick was my second controller after my OG Hotas One. With its firm controls, two levers, multiple buttons and scrollable LCD display, it's both fun and functional for your flight missions.

Best for beginnersThrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One

Thrustmaster

T.Flight Hotas One

This is my OG controller which I bought after spending time flying with just my Xbox controller. I highly recommend this for beginners looking to get started with controls for their flight sim. Make sure you buy the one compatible with your PC and/or console. Mine is PC and Xbox compatible. PlayStation 5 uses the Hotas 4
