A Complete HOTAS System for Discovering Flight Simulation
The Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 5 Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition combines a flight joystick and throttle in a complete system designed for beginner and intermediate pilots. Officially licensed by Microsoft Flight Simulator, it offers quick and easy setup with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 while remaining versatile enough for civil aviation, aerial combat, helicopters, gliders, and space simulations.
Featuring 5 axes, 14 action buttons, a rapid-fire trigger, a multidirectional hat switch, and 16-bit precision, it provides greater control than a traditional game controller. Its detachable throttle also allows users to adapt their setup to the available space, whether on a desk, table, or directly on their lap.
Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Licence
The T.Flight Hotas 5 Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition is designed for Plug & Play operation with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. It is automatically recognized on compatible platforms, reducing setup time so pilots can start flying sooner.
Its control layout accommodates a wide variety of aircraft, making it a versatile solution for learning the fundamentals of flying and progressing toward more advanced configurations.
5 Axes with 16-Bit Precision
The system features five control axes, including the Z-axis for yaw control, with a stated 16-bit resolution. This precision allows for finer adjustments to pitch, roll, yaw, and engine power.
- 5 control axes
- 16-bit precision
- Integrated Z-axis for yaw control
- Analog throttle
14 Action Buttons and Essential Flight Controls
The joystick and throttle keep essential flight controls within easy reach, reducing the need to use a keyboard or traditional controller during flight.
- 14 action buttons
- 1 rapid-fire trigger
- 1 multidirectional hat switch
- Controls distributed between the joystick and throttle
- Ergonomic layout suited to different types of flying
Detachable Throttle
The throttle can be physically separated from the joystick to create a more realistic HOTAS configuration. This setup allows each component to be positioned comfortably according to the desk, seating arrangement, or flying style.
Both components can also remain attached for a more compact and stable setup, particularly convenient when used on the lap or in limited spaces.
Dual Rudder Control System
Yaw can be controlled in two different ways, depending on the pilot's preferences. The joystick can be twisted along its Z-axis to operate the rudder, or the progressive rocker lever on the back of the throttle can be used to simulate rudder pedal movements more directly.
- Yaw control through joystick rotation
- Alternative control using the progressive rocker lever on the throttle
- Two control methods to suit individual preferences
Adjustable Joystick Resistance
Joystick resistance can be adjusted to change the amount of force required for movement. This adjustment allows pilots to select a lighter feel for extended sessions or firmer resistance for more deliberate control.
The large hand rest also helps reduce fatigue during longer flights.
Weighted Base for Greater Stability
The weighted base helps keep the HOTAS system securely in place during rapid movements or significant flight corrections. This added stability is particularly useful when the system is used on a desk or table without permanent mounting.
Compatible with Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedals
The T.Flight Hotas 5 can be paired with the Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedal system, sold separately. The TFRP pedals feature S.M.A.R.T. sliding rail technology, providing more realistic rudder control and lateral movement.
This compatibility allows pilots to gradually expand their flight simulation setup without replacing the main HOTAS system.
Compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 4
- PC running Windows 10
- PC running Windows 11
On PC, Thrustmaster drivers and firmware can be installed to ensure compatibility and access product updates.
