Description
Take the controls and explore the skies with the TCA SKY YOKE, Thrustmaster's first general aviation yoke, compatible with PlayStation®5 and PC. Its comprehensive all-in-one design combines realistic controls, a steel pitch axis shaft, 7 axes, throttle control, trim controls and yaw controls. Developed in collaboration with real pilots, the TCA SKY YOKE delivers an immersive, realistic and comprehensive flight experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator and other flight simulation games.
Realistic and smooth control
The steel pitch axis shaft is combined with a self-centering damped mechanism with no central detent and a minimal dead zone, ensuring smooth operation and durability. The yoke provides 180° of rotation on the roll axis, while the pitch axis offers 9 cm of travel for precise and controlled flight.
Comprehensive aircraft controls
The all-in-one universal design integrates 7 axes, throttle control, trim controls and yaw controls directly into the TCA SKY YOKE. For comprehensive control, it features 24 action buttons, an 8-way directional HAT switch, one stick and two analog triggers.
H.E.A.R.T. technology for long-term precision
TCA SKY YOKE features Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology). All yoke and quadrant axes provide 16-bit resolution for precise and reliable control.
Customizable cockpit setup
Mounting brackets on the base allow commercially available external modules to be attached and your virtual instrument cluster to be organized. TCA SKY YOKE also features three additional connectors – 2 × RJ12 and 1 × USB-A – for connecting optional Thrustmaster devices.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – Configuration File Installation
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is transitioning to a new system for assigning control functions to external devices. Under this system, hardware manufacturers are developing dedicated control mapping profiles that users can download free of charge directly from the in-game Marketplace.
To ensure proper operation of the THRUSTMASTER TCA SKY YOKE in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, users must download and install a free configuration file that automatically assigns the game controls to the corresponding buttons and axes of the yoke.
The configuration file is available directly from the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in-game Marketplace. Users must select the version compatible with their gaming platform (PlayStation®5 or PC).
Thrustmaster has prepared detailed step-by-step instructions for downloading and installing the configuration file, available at the following link:

Expandable ecosystem
TCA SKY YOKE is compatible with the TCA SKY Quadrant throttle quadrant and T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP), both sold separately. Software support allows these devices to be connected through the yoke, so only one USB cable is required to connect the complete setup to your PC or console. A second TCA SKY YOKE can also be connected for a unique dual-control configuration.
