2 out of 5 stars Looks Good....Works Poorly   August 23, 2010

When using this Thrustmaster product w/ Flightsim one immediately discovers that the throttle and joystick are not fine precision instruments. The lack of precise control takes away from enjoying the game. To bad. It looks good.Just doesn't perform to my expectations.

This flight stick was exactly what I was looking for and a a fantastic price! Other sites had is for as much at $60.00, I paid $21.00 with shipping! Arrived on time and brand new. Easy to install on PS3 and works great. you can even switch between controllers in game so if you are using the standard controller for walking and then need to fly you simply grab the stick and start flying.

The controller is amazing, works great & helps a lot with flight games (IL-2, Hawx ECT). I do have to switch it to controller 1 every time it seems I start a game (very minor thing). Also after a couple months of using this controller it seems after an hour or two of use it starts acting weird - game randomly stops recognizing controller until I unplug it & plug it back in a few times, or game will start reading movements that were not made on the controller, now this being said it has happened mainly on IL-2, sometimes in Hawx, so I cannot be sure this is the controllers fault, it may have something to do with the PS3 or games, also it could just be the one defective controller but I did think it was worth mentioning.


4 out of 5 stars Good deal for the price!   August 18, 2010
Mr. Di0
I had this joystick for a couple of weeks now.
It has all the main functions you want from a good joystick and it feels solid in the hands. For the price you pay (in the $20-$30 range), I think it's exactly what you expect to get: a sound joystick with a good, confortable and smooth throttle. I'm really happy with it and I recommend it to people who are not "game-freak" looking for something fancier or more hard core.



5 out of 5 stars The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X is the Best Game Controller I have ever Owened or used!   August 17, 2010

The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X gives the user exacting control over every type of aircraft. I used to be a real pilot but because of medical problems I can never fly again because the pressure changes of altitude will kill me. The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X, attached to my newest computer with an Athlon II X2 235e 2.7GHz Processor and 6GB Ram has given me back the ability to fly the aircraft I used to plus many others I always wanted to try. Coupled with the new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition which I purchased through Amazon.com when I bought The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X allows me to get back in the air with such reality that sometimes I forget I am sitting at a computer in my office.

Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X comes separated, the Throttle Assembly and rudder and flap controls on the left and the Joystick with fire control (if flying games for combat) the trigger acts as the main brakes for civilian aircraft. The Hat and 4 control buttons are on the joystick and thus The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X can be setup on both sides just like in the various versions of modern fighter aircraft.

If you are looking for real flight control, The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X is what you are looking for.
