Review: Great quality Hotas...was very impressed!! - UPDATE: I am keeping the Hotas as I bought 2 Vesa clamps and added to my chair. Bumble from Youtube has a fantastic tutorial on how to mount. Made an additional step by fabricating some PlexiGlas mounting panels, screwed into platform and adhered each unit by Velcro to panels. You know what's better than having these at 13...having them at 46! Remapped gamepad and Hotas to a Custom Binding and was able to input ALL buttons / funcitons in. Mainly using gamepad for map / SRV as it feels more natural. Definatelty an awesome product...will update if unit degrades over normal use. I absolutely love this controller for Elite Dangerous! Not sure what other flight sims are out, but would like to try on X3 and Microsoft Flight X. All the buttons, toggles, and switches were used and had a pre-programmed setting. Elite is great / intuitave with a controller...it was better with this Hotas (not sure about the SRV...read one person's review that stated he used Hotas for flying and controller for SRV - I could see myself mirroring this). It did take some getting used to, and I am still not at the same proficiency as a controller. Remember boosting into a station was when you first played Elite...yeah that will happen again. The flight stick was good with a large number of buttons, but felt like other flight sticks I used in the past. I loved the throttle, slap paddles, and analog on the throttle portion - this unit added the most immersion to the game as it allowed for multiple articulating inputs to happening simutensiously. Same can be done with the controller, but when inputting the same actions using the Hotas it felt more alive (left hand was controlling throttle, left pinky / middle finger was the rudder, left index looking around with analog, right hand on flight stick, with right thumb on power allocation). Unfortunately I will need to return the unit for now as I found out I still have a few old shoulder / neck injuries and using this for too long causes aggrevation if placed on the desk. I will prepare a chair with Hotas mounts in preperation of re-purchasing this sometime in 2019 and let the good times roll. Hats off to a good product, wish your company the best! Trust me, I'm an engineer. Writing this review with the unit boxed up behind me feels like I'm saying good bye to an old friend : (
Review: Acutally Very Good HOTAS! - It works great, but I dock a star on Range of motion because sometimes the throttle movement on the TWCS is a bit stiicky. A little Graphite basically took care of that, but it should not have been necessary. I dock it on Ergonomic because the head of the stick could be designed better. A little lacking, but it works well enough for Elite Dangerous with a MASSIVE keybind requirement! A second HAT or two more buttons would have been better, but I am comparing it to the Warthog stick and strangely enough, the Logitech Extreme 3D. Let's face it, we rarely use the buttons on the base of the joystick when the room is dark, the monitors are bright, and it;s hard to differentiate the base keys! Lighting would be good. Multiple color buttons would be good too. (The throttle slider on the Stick base does work great for changing the radar range level!) The TWCS throttle could use a couple more buttons, but overall it works great for my use with E.D. The stick works well for Descent/Overload/Descent: Underground also. Starting to use the HOTAS for my old Flight Sim 10, but there are some compatibility issues there, working around it, but only cuz it;s an old program. For the price it's excellent. And unlike the very expensive Warthog HOTAS, this stick has the twist that works very nicely. It they made the Warthog available with a stick twist for rudder/Yaw, I might have considered it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this and the Logitech Extremem 3d pro ($35)?**
A: The coincidence is that I have both of them and USE both of them (Dual stick setup) for a game called Star Citizen. I bought the 3D Pro a few years ago and just got hte FCS last December. The main difference is the fluidity of movement from one axial direction to the other. While it may not sound as important, it made a big difference for me in-game. Of course there are more buttons (the 3D Pro has 6 buttons on the left on its base while the FCS has 6 on each side of the base). But in terms of functionality, I'd have to say that the FCS is more comfortable. Also if you're one who does not like the "thumb" rest, you can remove it and replace it with one of the FCS's non-thumb grip which is instead, in-line with the actual stick. This is provided in the box as well. In conclusion, I'd have to say that the FCS would be a good choice. I don't regret my 3D Pro purchase, but if it stopped working, I'd get a second FCS immediately. But for now, the only reason why I'm not getting a 2nd FCS is that the 3D Pro works great still, but does not feel as comfortable as my FCS. Hope I answered well and wasn't sounding like a Thrustmaster advertiser LOL.

**Q: Is this the model that was developed with Frontier for Elite Dangerous?**
A: Yes, also Elite Dangerous has a built-in profile to get you started. http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/T16000FCS/Mapping-stationT16000MHotas.jpg You can work from the default settings to reassign buttons to your preferences.

**Q: How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick?**
A: There is no cord between them. The each have their own USB cord. And if you have a game that needs then to look like one device, the TARGET software can do that.

**Q: Is this good for Elite Dangerous?**
A: I have used this HOTAS with Elite Dangerous for SEVERAL Years and have had NO issues with it.  It 's WONDERFUL!  But of course I use it along with mouse and keyboard a lot.  The POV switch for your index finger on the throttle is a great way to map thrusters for slow maneuvering around a landing site or for asteroid mining.  (Although as an old "Descent 1/2/3" player, I still use my Keyboard Keypad for thrusters more often.  Just more capability for mining.)  
I'm a big guy, naturally strong grip, and still cannot hurt this setup!  In combat many times I have twisted the hell out of all axis movements and it doesn't flinch.  And Combat in a Corvette requires more time in movements cuz it's SLOW! (But VERY effective)
Asteroid mining and SRV use is very well supported with this.  I can fly a huge CUTTER around the big Asteroids and some small like a fighter!
I have used this for Star Citizen but don't play it.  (Long Story)  AND it is GREAT for Microsoft Flight Simulator too!
This was Designed with E.D. in mind and is a FANTASTIC HOTAS for that game specifically, though it will work for other flight sims just great too!  VERY STURDY and VERY DURABLE!  (And I have over 2000 hours in E.D. including flying out to Beagle Point)
Highly Recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ *Requires* lubrication from the user due to poor throttle tension design. Otherwise, an excellent HOTAS.
*by T***. on June 17, 2018*

Upgrading from the most basic Thrustmaster HOTAS, this is a very nice setup. Plenty of hat switches and buttons, making Elite: Dangerous very easy to manage. I find that the 6 buttons on the right side of the base of the stick are hard to hit without looking, even though there are tactile bumps on them that are supposed to make this easier. It's not a great idea to map anything critical like hard points on that side. I'll be down to 40% hull and trying to stow my weapons and jump out of a system when, Woops! I'm in the map screen instead because I can't feel the difference between the buttons when moving quickly. I struggled to give this unit 4 stars mainly due to the throttle's problem with lubrication. Only a couple of days after I began using it, it started to become a bit sticky as it slid on the rails, even after adjusting the tension to make it as loose as possible. This quickly devolved to to point where I couldn't adjust the throttle without pushing the whole base around as it wasn't sliding properly. It's easy to open up and I added a silicone based lubricant that's safe for plastics. This helped quite a bit, but making fine adjustments was still problematic as it would stutter-slide in an irritating way. I wiped the silicone lubricant, and instead switched to 'Fluid Film', which is lanolin based. I'm taking a gamble as to whether or not it will cause problems with the plastic parts, but I think the design of the tensioning system for the throttle is simply no good. It's essentially a leaf spring that presses down on metal rails inside. The silicone lube didn't last because it basically rubbed off. The fluid film should last longer, but I'm afraid it will probably need to be reapplied periodically. If this remains a problem, I'll probably take off a star and spend more money on a better HOTAS, but this is still the sweet spot as far as features/performance for the price.
