Which Thrustmaster HOTAS/Joystick Is The Best For You?!

[@lucasrobert1631]

I've had the T Flight HOTAS X for over 5 years now, and I see no reason to upgrade. The build quality is amazing for the price. It's comfortable, simple, has enough buttons for me, and I've never had any problems with it!

[@WigglinWigglesGaming]

do you play star citizen and if so how accurate are you in pvp combat?

[@debadrimanna21]

Same here! I started simming with the Hotas X back in 2014, and have had it as my primary ever since. The only addons to my rig was the TCA Throttle Quadrant this year, and the TFRP pedals a couple of months ago(almost a year). The Hotas X is perfect if someone is starting out, and isn't sure if they will take up simming seriously. If you're flying in the online networks, and do any type of civilian flights, including failures, the Hotas X is a bargain. Absolutely love that baby.

[@NeoAemaeth]

Perhaps i got unlucky, but for me the T flight, right after warranty ran out, started having horrible yaw jitter. I was able to fix the potentiometer, but a bit after that the squeaking started. The grease they use for the ball joint and the ball joint itself are just terrible. At least if it is in heavy use. At some point it ran completely dry and was basically stuck at any position i would put it into. Disassembling and properly regreasing the ball joint was a pain in the ***.

[@Darthbug]

@@NeoAemaeth Same problem here. Just after warranty ran out, the T flight started to move the rudder to the left, even though I have not touched the joystick. very annoying

[@mongini1]

I got the T16000. I think it is the most versatile of the bunch. The airbus HOTAS is too specific, the Warthog very expensive. Even after 4 months of MSFS I don't have assigned every button, so there is still room to grow, it's precise enough for any situation. For me the best bang for the buck.

[@silverwatchdog]

I got the airbus tca. It's also quite versatile. The actual flight stick is not very different from the rest aside from aesthetics. I personally love the blue Airbus colour scheme on it. The throttle quadrant is a bit more specialised because it follows the snapping into the different airbus throttle gates, but you can remove it. So it is quite versatile and it really boils down aesthetics when comparing the T16000 and the airbus hotas

[@silverwatchdog]

But the T16000 is also a great flight stick because the 2 are pretty much the same quality

[@alistairmartins]

[@RealLagu]

I've had my hotas x since ~2012, flown A LOT with it, picked it up from the joystick (lol) a shit ton of times and it still works. It does have some contact problem with the cable and the stick, but far better than what is to be expected from a 30€ thrust lever + joystick (used to cost 30€ back in the day here haha). An absolutely monster for that price. Currently looking for a new one since this one is showing its age with the joystick accuracy

[@tgmjrtgmjr8221]

I've had my Thrustmaster Warthog throttle and joystick for 8 years. Still perfect.

[@tobysmailes2064]

You should consider getting the virpil warbrd to replace the base. Completely smooth and air to air refuelling is so much easier. Once you’ve swapped out the stock cams that come as standard it feels like nothing you’ve ever experienced

[@EEESRAINMAN]

I use the Logitech(Saitek) X56 and it's great. It's priced between the T16000 and the warthog, and it's great. It has a ton of features and buttons on the stick and throttle.

[@cloud8154]

2 years ago I bought the T Flight HOTAS X for only 50€ (it's ~80€ now). I was a bit concerned about the price/quality, but I thought that 50€ is not a big deal, and I bought it to see if I like to play with this type of joysticks, thinking I will upgrade anyway. I never felt the need to upgrade, because I only play single player games, and it does its job amazingly well for such a very low price.

[@ZaneWooten]

Just got my Hotas T flight stick today. I’ve not tried it yet, but other reviews show that the throttle has rudder response in the front as well. I’m not sure if that’s what I’ll use it for, but it’s nice to have the option.

[@PartyUpLive]

My first PC game was the Mech Warrior Collection and I played it with a Microsoft Sidewinder. Sooo much fun. I then got the Star Wars Tie Fighter/X-Wing collection. I LOVED playing those games with a joystick. I just ordered the Thrustmaster for XB/PC and hope to get back into gaming with a joystick again. THANKS for the videos.

[@jimmyjango5213]

Ok, are you my doppelganger?

[@Macskinny76]

The Air Bus system looks very nice, and I like the fact that in the sim you showed looks really nice. And I see why the Worthog Hog is so expensive and I can see a lot of ppl using it for flight sims. I have the Hotas X for a some years now and since I play Star Citizen, I feel as though I need a few more buttons. So, I'm getting the X52 Pro, I don't feel like spending $400 right now lol.

[@waschmaschinenfreund]

Got the T16000M full package some days ago and I must say, it’s amazing and a big step up from the Hotas X. Poorly, I had some problems with my Hotas X, even after a refund the same problem accrued again after one month. (The Ruddes ist constantly shifting to the left). I hope the T16000M doesn’t have that problem.

[@VeszelovszkyEndre]

The stick is quite okay, but the throttle will be stuck because of the slider. But you can upgrade it for a "butter smooth" action, and its not expensive. I have ordered a bearing version, but there is a bushes version. The bearing the better but quite loud, the bushes is soundless but not smooth as the bearing version.

[@spy2778]

I’ve had the T16000m for a while now. The build quality is really poor & I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I also had to make a number of modifications to it to make it useable.

[@ColdFusionPower512]

Had mine for exactly ONE DAY before the Z-Axis went crazy and it was unusable in any game... i'll stick to mouse and keyboard for now. The build quality is horrible for the price.

[@wyattspencer9904]

So I have the T.16000M series and I play star citizen with it. With the amount of controls for star citizen even in the cockpit of a fighter or a freight ship. The buttons and mapping is simple and to me, no matter where I put the layout of buttons, it's always easy to get a new muscle memory in place. I love the feel is the T16000M in star citizen and I'm completely new to stuff like this. So as for beginners if you're not sure if you're going to enjoy it or not. Give it a try but buy from a store and don't order it that way if you don't like it you can just return it.

[@Philminator]

T Flight HOTAS X or T16000 joystick only? which is better? I say without the thruster because the price is identical. I honestly could care less about the thruster. I want a good quality joystick only. I don't mind using the switch on a joystick as the thruster.

[@chriswilliams1096]

Since Microsoft FS 2020 was released, all budget HOTAS products seem to be out of stock in UK. Ebay has several used T.Flights listed for more than new retail price - people are buying them too. I'm hoping they are back in stock before my birthday at the end of Feb. Using a console controller for Elite Dangerous is not optimal.

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

I went through 3 T-Flight HOTAS in two years and they all failed within 3 weeks to 6 months. The first two had the same problem; the joystick started to signal a left yaw constantly, requiring me to constantly yaw right just to fly straight. The third unit did that with a variation; whenever I pushed the throttle forward, it would also signal yaw left. The problem with the first two is widely discussed on the internet and is generally accepted as a design flaw which will never be fixed. I'm done with the T-Flight and would be very reluctant to spend $200 to $400 on their more expensive HOTAS units.

[@lamegaming9835]

you get what you pay for

[@NeoAemaeth]

Yes, I've also had the yaw jitter problem. I was able to fix the potentiometer and the stupid cable management inside the stick tough. Also the ball joint grease is terrible and figuring out how to regrease the joint is even more terrible.

[@j.d.4697]

[@rogerdepass9028]

My HOTAS warthog throttle just packed it in after 6 yrs. apparently the PCB boards are prone to failing. just ordered the airbus model.

[@virgo47]

I've got both Hotas X and T16000 with the throttle. I bought Hotas X in 2014 and it was a great start and upgrade from keyboard and mouse. I didn't use it for a few years and when I returned to DCS in 2022 it was very squaky and I couldn't grease it however I tried. And the middle deadzone on it's throttle is abominable (at least for flight sims). Forget any refueling with this one. (I admire if you did it.) T.16000M and TWCS throttle are different. For a few bucks more the level is much higher. Many more buttons (especiall thanks to the throttle) and much more precise joystick. There are problems too though. The throttle is jittery and requires regular potentiometer cleaning with a spray. And Z-axis (twist) on the joystick is jittery too for many units - including mine. Right now I'm using TWCS Throttle with tentative plans to replace it (not sure what for yet) and VKB Gladiator with Kosmosima grip - and while the VKB stick is 220+- Eur on it's own, I just love the quality. But perhaps without the Thrustmaster stuff (and its deficiencies) I'd not get to VKB of to whatever comes next. So yeah, it was part of the way. But if you really love flight sims, just skip the Hotas X and go for T.16000M+TWCS Throttle combo right away. Pedals... I don't know. They are not bad for 60 Eur or so (in combo), but they are way too narrow (at least for males, I guess) and not that precise. They have potentiometer that requires regular cleanup too (otherwise don't expect any precision).

[@silverwatchdog]

Funny enough here in South Africa we have the opposite problem with stock. We have the airbus flight stick but not the Hotas X. I am happy with the airbus one though. It's really comfortable and accurate and is a good quality for the price.

[@Thomass7878]

I’ve had the T16000 for 4-5 years with heavy usage the last 2.5-3 years. Everything on the stick and thruster works great still and I use my equipment hard and rough. I just upgraded to the thrust master warthog like 4 days ago. I only reason was because I wanted to. I would definitely buy the T16,000 over again and would highly recommend getting it starting out. Mostly cost reason. Why spend $5-600 if you find out you don’t like the games or you don’t use it as much as you thought. Plus the thrust master does not have pedals… making you spend another 5-600 for that. So T16000 is definitely a great starting and long term playing.

One thing I find unrealistic about the Thrustmaster Airbus joystick is that when you bank the aircraft you have to keep the joystick deflected to the side you want to bank, or the plane goes back to straight and level flight. I am just a former weekend real world Piper Cherokee pilot, not a professional pilot, so I could be wrong about the real airbus joy stick, but in the Piper Cherokee, which has a control wheel, you would bank the aircraft by turning the control wheel in the direction you wanted to bank, and when you reached the bank angle you wanted you would return it to center. The aircraft would hold that bank angle, with perhaps some minor adjustments needed, depending on conditions.

[@raphaelrico1584]

Actual aircraft holds the bank upto 33deg

What's the airbus one like flying non airbus planes in flight Sim?

[@yokez]

probably fine but for single engine and quad engine planes especially it might need some adjusting on the throttle settings

[@1SaG]

When it comes to sticks: I'd recommend staying away from the 16000 and getting the VKB Gladiator NXT Evo instead. It's a bit more pricey, but it's worlds better than the TM and will probably last longer than it too. Not only does it come with 32k res sensors, but it also has a gimbal, ball-bearings and independently adjustable clutches and springs. Meaning you can tune the X- and Y-axis precisely to your preference. For example: I have my Y-axis set pretty stiffly (strongest spring, "hard" clutch) while the X-axis is tuned more lightly with the medium spring and its clutchh set to light to medium. Its action is buttery smooth and super-precise. No wobble whatsoever when you let the stick return to 0/0 from full deflection. I use the TM 16000 TWCS myself and I view it as a stop-gap measure until I'll dish out more money on a better throttle (WH, WinWing, etc). For its price, the TWCS is a pretty good deal however (IMO), just don't expect it to last for years and years. Plus the sliding action isn't great. Re-greased mine with Teflon/silicone paste and improved things quite a bit, but it's still far from perfect. That said: It was "only" €85 as a stand-alone and it gets the job done. Certainly beats having to use the keyboard and/or the small throttle lever and base-buttons on my VKB stick.

[@Robert-G]

not a single one of their products makes any sense, IMO. the T16k variants have really bad precision, and not all axes are hall effect. Also only very few buttons can be reached… Especially twist will fail quickly, and considering how easy the fix hall effect would be, it is amazing how they did not fix it in the airbus cash grab version. That thing only shows how little they care about quality.

[@Robert-G]

and the warthog is a massive metal grip on a cheap plastic gimbal, so yeah, also big no-no….

[@SolidWorksCAD3D]

Thank you very much for your comparison! Can I ask you: how would you compare the springs of the T.16000M joystick to the springs of the TCA Sidestick Airbus? In the T.16000M the springs were too strong, it took a significant force to start moving the joystick from the center. Because of that it was difficult to control precisely very small movements around the center. I am looking for a joystick that allows for precise, very small movements around the center without needing to much force to move the joystick (for AFV gunnery simulation). Thank you! p.s. And how does the trigger of the Airbus joystick compare to the trigger of the T.16000M?

[@31clint]

I've got the T16000M dual sticks but the right stick has started to send Z left twist signals every time I touch or move it. I've started to use the left stick and then I use the right slider for throttle which is great for MFS because I need to use my right hand on the mouse to look around the cockpit and interact with the different controls while still maintaining control of the aircraft with the left stick. I want to get the Warthog but then I'll need to take my hand off the stick to manipulate the mouse so I'm kind of torn. It's a lot of money to spend on something that may or may not work for the system I currently have in place. I guess I could try to keep the left stick plugged in and switch to it when needed?

I've always wanted a HOTAS since my Bird of Prey days, but my hands are too big for anything I can afford :D

As a total noob to sims who really wants this for sci-fi action like Star Wars: Squadrons in VR, is there any advantage for me getting the T16000M over the T-Flight X? Thanks!

Better buttons, smoother throttle, ambidextrous, better accuracy.

have the tca side-stick, quadrant and add-on pack, works just perfect... the only thing i can say about the side-stick... if you use it also as rudder-control (i'm waiting for for the rudder/break pedals to arrive) you have to fix the stick in place.. for high crosswind landing where you need a lot of rudder, the base likes to move in the same direction and could cause to loose control

Does the TCA Sidestick work on DCS?

Hey Chewyy, what do you think about the x52 pro?

[@tosco92]

With the keys in the stick, can you set up different things from the fslabs panels? how?

[@Chewwy94]

With the "Addons - FSLabs Input Commands" menu in P3D for the FSLabs I very much imagine that would be possible, yes!

I absolutely can not stand right handed joysticks. Its upsetting they dont make more left handed ones.
