Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS Flight Simulation Bundle
Take control of your aircraft with the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS, a flight simulation bundle designed to deliver precision, comfort and control.
Featuring the T.16000M FCS joystick and TWCS throttle, this system allows simultaneous control of aircraft movement and engine power.
Thanks to H.E.A.R.T. magnetic technology, S.M.A.R.T. sliding rails and 30 programmable action buttons, it provides a versatile solution for flight and space simulations on PC.
T.16000M FCS Joystick with H.E.A.R.T. Magnetic Technology
The T.16000M FCS joystick uses Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) to measure pitch and roll movements using contactless magnetic sensors. This design delivers excellent precision while reducing wear on the sensing components.
- H.E.A.R.T. magnetic technology with 3D Hall effect sensors.
- 16-bit resolution for the pitch and roll axes.
- Advertised precision of 16,000 x 16,000 position values.
- 4 independent axes: pitch, roll, twist grip for yaw control and progressive throttle control.
- 2.8 mm diameter helical spring providing firm, linear and smooth resistance.
- Contactless magnetic detection to maintain precision over time.
- Weighted base for improved stability during manoeuvres.
16 Action Buttons and Ambidextrous Design
Designed to accommodate both right-handed and left-handed pilots, the joystick features removable components that allow its configuration to be adjusted. Its numerous controls provide convenient access to essential flight functions without constantly relying on the keyboard.
- 16 programmable action buttons: 12 on the base and 4 on the stick.
- 1 eight-way Point of View (POV) hat switch.
- Ergonomic trigger suitable for firing, braking or other assigned functions.
- Tactile button markings for easier identification.
- 3 removable components for right-handed or left-handed configuration.
- Ergonomic hand rest for improved comfort.
- Integrated backlighting for enhanced immersion.
TWCS Throttle with S.M.A.R.T. Technology
The TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle complements the joystick by providing independent control of aircraft engine power. Its S.M.A.R.T. (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) mechanism uses a sliding rail system for smooth, precise movement throughout the throttle's travel range.
- S.M.A.R.T. technology with a sliding rail system.
- 80 mm (3.2 in.) travel range.
- Adjustable sliding resistance using an adjustment screw.
- 5 independent control axes.
- 14 programmable action buttons.
- 1 eight-way POV hat switch.
- Two-axis mini-joystick with push-button function.
- Two four-way switches.
- Two-position switch and additional controls.
- Ergonomic low-profile design for natural hand positioning.
30 Action Buttons and Advanced HOTAS Controls
The HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) system allows pilots to keep one hand on the joystick and the other on the throttle during manoeuvres. This configuration facilitates quick adjustments and provides direct access to numerous essential functions in flight simulators.
- 30 programmable action buttons in total.
- 16 buttons on the joystick.
- 14 buttons on the throttle.
- 2 eight-way POV hat switches.
- 9 combined independent control axes.
- Direct access to navigation, propulsion, communication and weapons controls, depending on the game.
- Control layout particularly suited to aerial and space combat simulations.
Advanced Programming with T.A.R.G.E.T.
Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor) software allows users to customize controls and create profiles tailored to different simulators. It also provides the ability to combine multiple compatible Thrustmaster peripherals into a single virtual controller.
- Custom button and axis programming.
- Ability to create configurations with up to 256 virtual button functions.
- Creation and saving of custom control profiles.
- Integration of multiple compatible Thrustmaster peripherals.
- Loading of profiles tailored to different games.
- Free downloadable software for PC.
TFRP Rudder Pedal Compatibility
The TWCS throttle includes a connector for adding the Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedal system. This optional accessory provides three additional axes for controlling the rudder and differential brakes in compatible simulators.
- Integrated RJ12 connector on the back of the TWCS throttle.
- Compatible with Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals.
- Adds 3 additional axes with the rudder pedal system.
- Allows foot-operated rudder and differential brake control.
- TFRP rudder pedals sold separately.
Designed for Flight Simulation and Virtual Reality
The T.16000M FCS HOTAS provides an intuitive flying experience with controls positioned within easy reach. This layout is particularly useful for simulations using virtual reality headsets, where tactile controls make it easier to fly without leaving the virtual environment.
- Ergonomic joystick with hand rest.
- Sliding throttle for progressive control.
- Physical controls accessible without removing your hands from the peripherals.
- Tactile markings for easier button identification.
- Ambidextrous joystick configuration.
- Suitable for flight and space simulations compatible with virtual reality.
PC Flight Simulator Compatibility
The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is designed for Windows PCs and works with a variety of flight and space simulation games that support USB flight controllers.
- Compatible with PCs running Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Wired USB connection for each peripheral.
- Compatible with simulators including DCS, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and War Thunder, depending on peripheral support.
- Customizable axis and button configurations according to each game's capabilities.
- Compatible with select Thrustmaster ecosystem accessories, sold separately.
