Box Contains 1 x TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition; 4 x swappable joystick head button modules; User manual with warranty information Review: Excellent joystick for the price - This is a really good joystick, it has a smooth and firm action in all 3 axes with a medium strength spring. I am using it with X-Plane 11 with the B737-800 and had no issues installing and configuring it. The only small downside as others have said is that the throttle slider came installed upside down on my unit, it was sticking out below the front of the unit at minimum throttle. Also the detent arm for reverse was not even touching the cut-outs intended for it so it had no feel at all. I fixed both these issues myself with little effort. You can lift off the black plastic throttle button by carefully and slowly rocking it up and down as you lift. Then remove the screw holding the plastic detent arm and lift it off. Cut a couple of thin strips of electrical tape and place directly underneath where the arm sits, as close to the screw as possible. Replace the arm, press it down on the tape and tighten the screw. The arm ends should now sit about 2mm higher than before. Add another layer of tape if needed. There is a very good guide on Reddit to do this, just google "Detent Fix for Thrustmaster Airbus Stick". I'm not going to knock off a star for this problem even though this should have been done correctly at the factory as it was a very easy fix and I otherwise love this joystick. Hope the above is helpful to someone. Review: SO GOOD!!!!!!!! - The best joystick for this price range, literally no complaints at all, proper quality
