Description:
The T. Flight HOTAS X
from Thrustmaster is a programmable joystick and throttle that is
compatible with PCs and PS3 systems for realistic flight simulation.
It conveniently plugs directly into the USB port on your system for
instant takeoff. The HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) joystick
features a large throttle that you can use to control the acceleration
of your aircraft. The throttle is detachable, so you can detach it to
re-create authentic piloting conditions.
Depending on your style
of gaming, you might like an ultra-sensitive joystick that responds to
slight touches. With a firmer joystick, it offers more resistance when
you move it. The resistance of the T. Flight HOTAS X is adjustable in
order to adapt to your personal preferences.
With the rudder
function, a plane corresponds to the pedals used by the pilot to turn
the steering, allowing the plane to pivot around its vertical axis to
run the plane left or right. The rudder function is accessible on the
joystick or via the rocking button on the throttle. On Playstation 3
and PC in "4 axes" mode, the rocking button is combined with the
handle's rotation. On a PC in "5 axes" mode, the rocking button is
independent of the handle's rotation and therefore provides an
additional progressive axis.
When you're in the
middle of a crucial operation, seeing your placement is important. The
joystick features a POV hat switch to let you instantly view
everything that's going on around your plane, in games that support
this function. Different views are programmable like rear, left, right
and external views.
Inside the joystick, an
internal chip saves all of your "MANUAL PRESET" programming even when
the joystick is switched off or disconnected. You can save a different
manual preset for each platform used. With the "MAPPING" button, you
perform programming like switching the position of buttons, switching
axes between themselves or switching the two directions of the same
axis.
