Thrustmaster has devoted its 25 years of expertise in flight sim controllers to meet the growing demand from flight simmers in general-and space simmers in particular-who have requested a mid-range HOTAS joystick. It is composed of the T16000M FCS flight stick and TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System)throttle.

H.E.A.R.T Technology (HallEffect AccuRate Technology): Ensures high-precision performance, using the same pinpoint accuracy delivered by the extremely high-end HOTAS Warthog joystick, allowing gamers to engage their enemies with surgical precision
Control features: Features 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick), 16 action buttons with “braille”-style physical button identification, one 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch and an ergonomic trigger
TWCS Throttle: Includes the Thrustmaster Weapon Control System: use your left hand to increase your combat speed and manage your spaceship or jet fighter
S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology: A unique system of slide rails for perfectly smooth throttle sliding motion
Advanced Flying Ecosystem: These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the FCS flight stick, TWCS throttle, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels.
Ergonomic Design: Thanks to its design and ergonomics, this joystick provides players with multiple recognizable features, allowing them to become more effective and accurate when in flight

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Not so sturdy
The only 2 reason im giving this hotas a 4 star and not a 5 is… the throttle feels very plasticy if you know what i mean, and it doesn’t move as smooth as i was led to believe. And then there’s some videos showing how to take it apart and putting different springs and using different grease to make it last and feel smoother but by the time you do all that you can just get a better throttle. All in all i would recommend this for a first time user but save up some $ for a new throttle down the road.

Fantastic mid end HOTAS!
Going from a HOTAS X to this truly is day and night, possibly one of the best throttles without having to spend $200+ on a throttle alone, stick feels great as well, and has a great amount of buttons for anyone using VR.

Buy it for the throttle and save on the joystick
I bought this to use to fly jets in MSFS 2020 and it works well. Setup is automatic in MSFS but you will need to understand how to use the control option settings in MSFS at some point. For example, the TWCS throttle and the throttle on the joystick can interfere with each other, so I find it best to remove the throttle setting for the joystick. The T.A.R.G.E.T. software is not necessary to understand or even use unless you are deep into gaming. I don't plan to pursue that at all but it's there if you want to. I was using the Logitech Extreme 3D joystick to fly before and wanted a better throttle. With this bundle, getting the throttle along with the joystick is only slightly more expensive than getting just the throttle alone, so I opted for the joystick combo. To make things even simpler in MSFS, I basically turned off all the assorted buttons on the throttle to avoid conflicts and only re-added button 1 to activate afterburners in MSFS F-18 jet. As I get more familiar with the settings, I might add some buttons back. Otherwise, I remapped flaps, parking brake, trim, and int/ext view to the left buttons on the joystick base because I use the stick right-handed and don't want to remove my hand from the joystick to change settings while flying or reach around with my left hand. I set the landing gear and spoilers to the right/left buttons on the top of the stick respectively, similiar to the setup I used on the Logitech settings. Overall, I don't have any issuesto report but can't comment on the long term durability since I have only been using it now for a week or so. Since I also use the Thrustmaster rudder pedals, I wish the twist on the joystick could be prevented, but that is only possible on the Airbus version. Lastly, I did loosen the slide of the throttle a little by adjusting the tension screw to make it work more smoothly. As I recall, you need to put the throttle in the full power position to see the screw from the underside. That was a bit confusing in the instructions. The nice thing about this setup and MSFS is that you can reset everything on the throttle/joystick to default settings if you mess things up too much. I mostly fly using VR goggles, so it will take some time to remember the button assignments and find them by feel, but I am happy with the setup and the flying experience in VR is simply amazing.
