Key Features

  • Developed in official partnership with Airbus, this grip replicates at 1:1 scale the shape, ergonomics, and exact positioning of the sidestick as it equips real Airbus cockpits. Designed for the captain's left hand, the AIRBUS Add-On Grip offers an immediate grip and an authentic posture, true to that of professional airline pilots.
  • The AIRBUS Add-On Grip stands out thanks to its meticulously designed modularity, ensuring maximum realism. By adding the extra module and its removable button cover, you can transform your A300 series airliner configuration into an A400M military cockpit in just a few simple steps. One grip, two identities.
  • With its 5 buttons, 4 axes, and dual-mode trigger configurable as either a button or an axis, the AIRBUS Add-On Grip offers complete and precise control of your simulation. Its native Z-axis can be disabled via an integrated mechanical lock to adapt to your equipment and flying style. Every control is designed to meet the demands of even the most experienced virtual pilots.
  • The AIRBUS Add-On Grip incorporates HEART (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), the result of 15 years of Thrustmaster expertise in Hall effect magnetic sensors. Deployed on the Z-axis and mini-stick, it guarantees drift-free precision and reliability over time, with 16-bit resolution to capture every micro-movement with absolute fidelity. This level of precision makes all the difference in the most demanding flight phases.
