Choose airliner controls by cockpit layout and platform.
For Airbus-style flying, choose between the PC sidestick and the separate Xbox model. Boeing-focused pilots can use a yoke with its quadrant, while VelocityOne Flight puts both in one system. The exact model matters on Xbox.
Match the layout to your aircraft
| Layout | PC | Xbox Series X|S | Check the package |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airbus-style sidestick | TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition | TCA Sidestick X or Captain Pack X | The standard Airbus Sidestick is PC-only. Captain Pack X includes the quadrant and its flap and speed-brake modules. |
| Boeing-style yoke | TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition | TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition | The pack contains the yoke, Boeing quadrant, and desk mount. The standalone yoke is a different package. |
| Integrated yoke and quadrant | VelocityOne Flight | VelocityOne Flight | One Turtle Beach system includes the yoke and throttle quadrant. Check the desk depth and clamp clearance. |
| Modular yoke desk | Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo can be bought separately for a PC setup. | Honeycomb's Xbox setup uses a different compatible Alpha model and the Xbox Hub. | Compare the Honeycomb and VelocityOne paths before choosing the model. |

Thrustmaster lists the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition for PC. Its Xbox version is the TCA Sidestick X; Captain Pack X adds a matching quadrant. If you want just one controller, choose the Sidestick X. If you want separate engine and flap controls, the pack includes them.
The TCA Yoke Pack Boeing Edition combines the yoke and Boeing quadrant in one package for PC or Xbox. The standalone yoke is sold separately, so check the box contents before ordering.
VelocityOne Flight is Turtle Beach's integrated yoke and quadrant for PC or Xbox. For a modular Honeycomb desk, the original Alpha and Bravo are PC models. The Xbox configuration is different; use Microsoft's compatibility list and Honeycomb's Xbox compatibility details to confirm it.
