Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 (Compatible with PS5, PS4 and PC)

I upgraded my computer to a gaming computer so I could run MSFS 2020. Let me also mention I am running Windows 11. I tried using my older MS Sidewinder Flight Stick with the game but for some reason the aircraft were uncontrollable. I switched to an older Logitech flight stick I also had and even that was unusable. In the course of trying to figure out why the MS flight stick wasn't working it broke so I was forced to look for a new flight stick. I looked through all the flight sticks on Amazon and for some reason this one I seemed to like the most. I looked at reviews on the web and some people were saying this stick didn't work with Steam games and others were saying it didn't work with Windows 11. However all the other reviews were very positive. I figured for $40 it was worth taking a chance, if it didn't work at least I had a new flight stick I could use with MSFS X. When the stick arrived I plugged it into the USB port and Windows 11 recognized it immediately. I launched MSFS 2020 and went to the control options and the stick was there and the buttons were already pre-programmed. MSFS gives you the option to change the button settings but I left them as they were, it just took me a while to get use to them since it was a change from my Sidewinder stick. The first takeoff I tried was perfect and I flew to another local airport and landed perfectly. The flight stick worked perfectly and flawlessly. There is also a knob on the bottom the stick you can use to adjust the tension to your liking. On my computer this stick is compatible with Windows11 and Steam. The only con I have with this flight stick is the arrangement of the buttons. Some of them like the brake release, landing gear toggle and elevator trim kind of require an awkward reach to get to. While I can reassign them I like keeping them off the stick itself. I hope on the future Thrustmaster considers moving these buttons to a more ergonomic location on the base of the stick. All in all I give this flight stick a 10/10 and is an excellent value for the money.

Honestly it's a really REALLY good HOTAS for only $80, no it's not made to be top notch which is what most of negative reviewers were expecting, however it works great for games like elite dangerous, warthunder, ms flight sim, and Star wars squadrons. If you run into any issues with squeaking just put a couple drops of wd40 or oil on the hinge parts and it will be gone. I seen some people complaining about stick drift and honestly they were most likely yanking the stick around super hard when they first used it, it's not top notch!!!! It's not meant to be yanked on super hard. Another one was complaining about the throttle stiffness, honestly it's not going to super stiff on any HOTAS, I have a warthog HOTAS as well and the throttle isn't even stiff on that one,none of the throttles are going to be super stiff on any HOTAS so please don't expect that. All in all this HOTAS is absolutely amazing for the price and will last a very long time as long as you ACTUALLY take care of it properly.

Good solid joystick.used on PC for MSFS 25th Anniversary Edition.

The Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X is a solid and reliable flight stick that works well for both beginners and casual flight sim players. Setup is easy, and the controls are responsive and intuitive. The stick feels comfortable to use, and the button layout makes flying straightforward. Build quality is good for the price, and while it’s lightweight, it doesn’t feel cheap. Accuracy is solid for most flight games, though it’s not meant to compete with high-end simulation gear. Overall, it’s a great value flight stick that performs well and is easy to use, but the simpler design keeps it from being a full 5 star product.

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: Item arrived in good condition and as described. Appears to pretty much be plug n play. My PC recognized it immediately and fired it right up. For a person who is just needing a Joystick for fun gaming and not serious "I must have the best thing available" I think this joystick checks off all the boxes. I especially appreciate the built in Throttle and Rudder control, so no additional items are required. I really like the tension knob on the bottom, allowing me to adjust the joystick to fit my style. My last real joystick was a Microsoft Force-Feed Sidewinder, and I found this joystick to be very similar in size and feel. I think the larger base is awesome, for those times I might get excited when making a quick move. I Recommend. Good Luck.

I will never buy another Thrustmaster product. Why? Taskmaster only supports firmware updates through a Windows PC, yet they sell HOTAS sticks for Xbox and PS5 which can’t get firmware updates. That is ridiculous and disrespectful to folks who purchase their products and would like full functionality without needing A) Microsoft and B) A Windows-based PC, which is now the antithesis of usability and a Microsoft sanctioned spyware AI machine with the latest Windows “updates”. I just want to easily play my HOTAS enabled games and Thrustmaster doesn’t deliver the value I expect for the money on either PS5 or Xbox. I will need to move on from consoles to Linux in order to get a HOTAS experience that’s less buggy, from a different manufacturer because Thrustmaster can’t be bothered to support firmware updates. Yes, you can get this HOTAS to work on a PS5, but just know that you’ll spend more time troubleshooting than playing. That friction makes this product a one star at best.

Works well with my Flight Simulator.

Manette de très bonne qualité, installation et reconnaissance par le PC en 2 secondes. Il y a un mode "présélectionné" pour les boutons pour FSX, volets, train, spoilers, correspondent à des touches trés accessibles. Il y a un autre mode entièrement configurable par le joueur. La résistance du Joystick est réglable ce qui évite que l'avion tourne trop rapidement au sol on peut vraiment doser les rotations, top ! Piloter avec une manette ça change la vie sur FSX, on utilise plus du tout le clavier à part pour des commandes plus poussées, passerelles, etc....

Según mi marido, que es quien lo usa, un buen producto, aún está probando configuraciones de él ya que son muchas y variadas. Contento con lo estable a la hora del manejo. El precio ha sido decisivo a la hora de comprarlo. Contentos, lo recomendamos.

以前から欲しかったのを購入。 プレステ5でエースコンバット7 に使用。 個人的には操縦感覚が楽しめて満足。

Känns bra i handen, men fartreglaget är i minsta laget. För den som ska spela riktiga flygsimulatorer behövs något en något hetare modell, men för mig var den här perfekt.
