THRUSTMASTER T.16000M FCS Hotas PC Gaming joystick

HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick): control over all elements in the cockpit. With 25 years of experience and expertise in flight sim controllers, Thrustmaster is the right party to answer the growing demand for a mid-range HOTAS joystick among flight sim enthusiasts, especially space sim enthusiasts. The T.16000M FCS HOTAS was developed for advanced pilots looking for a comprehensive and realistic way to control their aircraft as an alternative to mouse and keyboard. The T.16000M FCS HOTAS consists of the T.16000M FCS (Flight Control System) flight stick and the TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle. The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is USB compatible with PC in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). T.16000M FCS For maneuvering with the greatest precision, the T.16000M FCS flight stick uses H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology (USA patent US08471815) with 16-bit accuracy (i.e., 16,000 x 16,000 possible values). This is the same extreme precision delivered by the HOTAS Warthog joystick, a top product from Thrustmaster, and it allows gamers to approach their enemies with surgical precision. The coil spring (diameter of 2.8 mm) in the stick provides powerful, linear and even tension. The T.16000M FCS features 4 independent axes including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick), 16 action buttons with tactile, braille-like recognition, an 8-way point of view (PoV) hat-switch and an ergonomic trigger. Thanks to the striking orange accents and backlighting, gamers are taken to a whole new level. TWCS-throttle: TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle: use the left hand to increase combat speed and control the spaceship or jet fighter. The lower placement of the TWCS-throttle compared to quadrant-based systems offers unparalleled comfort. Simmers get very extensive control because the TWCS-throttle has 14 buttons and an 8-way PoV hat-switch that are added to those of the joystick. This gives the pilot a total of 5 axes, 30 buttons and two 8-way PoVs, plus 3 additional axes via the optional TFRP rudder. The TWCS-throttle features 5 axes and an RJ12 connector that provides 3 additional axes via the external optional TFRP rudder* from Thrustmaster's flight product ecosystem. * Sold separately. S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology: A unique system that uses a sliding rail for perfectly smooth and precise throttle movements. Accurate and comfortable, with a range of 80 mm. Thanks to the adjustment screw, all users can set the resistance they find most comfortable. Advanced flightsim ecosystem from Thrustmaster: These products are part of a range of flightsim devices that can be used in combination. It is a complete ecosystem with the FCS flight stick, the TWCS throttle, the TFRP rudder pedals and the MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software**. * Sold separately. ** Available as a free download on the website http://ts.thrustmaster.com. T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC: program up to 256 buttons in the flightsim ecosystem Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software for combining with any other Thrustmaster device (whereby the combination is recognized as a single USB device) and for creating or loading a specific mapping profile for each game. Create your own custom profiles for even greater functionality of most Thrustmaster flight controllers and share these profiles on the Thrustmaster user community. Ergonomic design for optimal comfort and great precision: Thanks to its design and ergonomics, the T.16000M FCS HOTAS offers several recognizable features that allow players to control their aircraft faster, more effectively and more accurately. This improved access to aircraft control proves even more important when players are fully immersed in the extraordinary sensations delivered by a VR-compatible game. Moreover, the T.16000M FCS HOTAS is also the most natural and intuitive way to sit in a cockpit with hands on the throttle and stick.
