Does TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition have vibration feature?
I am using Xbox Controller and TrackIR 5 for this sim and really enjoy it. With Xbox controller I like the vibration feature because I have a feeling of applied forces when the aircrafts start to move, steer, stall...

Now I want to get a bit more into "realistic" with flying and thinking to get Thrustmaster TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition for A320neo and future Airbus Add-ons/DLC, but not quite sure if this set also has the vibration feature. Is anyone of you here using it could advise me? Of if any other yokes, joysticks... also have this feature.

Really appriciate for any advise from you!

The feature you're interested in on Joysticks is called force-feedback, and FF sticks basically died for 20 years because of patent trolls.

There is a company that makes a FF base for Virpil and VKB grips, but it's priced in four figures.

Thank you, so sad that no such vibration feature for current sim yokes or joysticks. I will still consider to get that TCA set and use for big commercial aircrafts. For GA like Cessna I still have much fun to use Xbox controller and feel the flying forces!

The TCA side stick is basically a T16000m. Same base just different grip, so most of the things that can be said about the T16000m apply to the TCA.
