    If you fly you gotta buy (this)

    So picture this - you have your VR goggles on flying through space looking at the beautiful planets and stars when suddenly lasers start flying at your ship from god-knows-where so you need to act fast - no, not fast - you need to act NOW. So I order to jump to lightspeed you need to press the “J” button on your keyboard - but you got these freaking VR goggles on your face so you have no idea where the J button is and by the time you find it boom - your ship is a floating yard sale. The Thrustmaster Flight Pack is the solution to this problem. You have a joystick for maneuvering and a throttle for that lightspeed you needed when you were trying to find the J button. This thing puts you in total control of your ship. They call it a joystick because it’s a joy to flick this stick any way you want and hit one of the 20some buttons this thing has. I took off a star for this foot pedal thing because I was taking off in Microsoft Flight Simulator and my foot itched so I was rubbing it on one of the pedals and it sent my aircraft into the London Bridge. This thing works awesome with Elite Dangerous, MSFS2020, and Star Wars Squadrons. It’s literally plug and play. I didn’t need to download squat. This thing makes flying so much more enjoyable and realistic. Best Buy sent this joint to my house in days - not weeks like everyone else. So shout out to Best Buy for slapping the label on and getting it out the door. Heck yeah.

    great value especially right now as these can be hard to find. It is an improvement over my old logitech stick and the rudder pedals add a new level of realism. I use these with Squadrons in AR they are perfect for it.

    Awesome deal for an awesome flight set. Best Buy had it in stock and it shipped fast. I ordered it late Wednesday night and it was delivered Friday right before I went to work.(I I work nights 230p-11p) The stick, throttle and pedals, separately are a lot more. I've even seen this t16000m set for as much as the warthog set by other sellers. Thank you Best Buy, you guys are epic.

    What an amazing setup! I truly recommend this to any beginner gamer wanting to get into flight sim as I am also very new. The amount of buttons you can map out on both the throttle control and joystick is amazing. Please do yourself a favor and grab this set for the AMAZING price.. you even have two weeks to try it and you can return it if you truly won’t be using it!

    The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Flight Pack offers an impressive and comprehensive flight simulation experience. Its precise joystick and throttle, both equipped with HallEffect AccuRate Technology, provide exceptional accuracy and responsiveness. Additionally, the pack's compatibility with various flight simulation games, coupled with its sturdy build quality and customizable options, makes it a fantastic choice for both newcomers and seasoned virtual aviators alike.

    Works out of the box for MSFS 2020

    I bought this flight stick to use with MSFS 2020. I'm pleased to report that it works perfect out of the box with no need to configure any settings or map buttons. I worked my way through the flight lessons with ease, and slowly learned what every button did as I played. Things truly have come a long way since MSFS back in the late 90's. As for other games, I didn't realize that HOTAS support lagged so much. You can get it to work, but be prepared to jump through hoops. A few of my flight games required me to install a xbox 360 controller emulator, then map the HOTAS to a virtual xbox controller which the game would then recognize and use. As for the thrustmaster software, I tried using it to assign custom curves and deadzones but just couldn't get it to work. Windows 10 PC, your mileage may vary, but if you buy it for MSFS 2020 you're going to have a great time. I'm hoping to pick up Star Wars squadrons soon and I'm praying it has built in HOTAS support so things are plug and play

    Now, so far, I am very happy with my purchase. The product is very well priced for what it is, especially now during the massive price increase of flight sim equipment. To my knowledge, this is the cheapest place to find this pack, at least as of January 2021. Pros: -Comes with the full suite of accessories needed to get into a flight sim. -Decent quality materials (There is still a lot of plastic, but it feels durable and I don't worry about breaking it). -Cheap beginners set. -Plenty of buttons to bind. -Almost Plug and play. No assembly required, all you have to do is download the drivers from Thrustmaster's website. Cons: -Personally I think the pedals should be bit a bit wider. -Again, its a starter set, so its not as precise as other, much more expensive options. -Best Buy, at least in my case, shipped the item in the normal box rather then putting the box within another box. I would highly recommend, especially now, placing the item within another box due to the massive price gauging going on with this item. There is people trying to sell these things for over $700. So I could believe it if someone saw the item while it was being shipped and decided to steal it. That's just my 2 cents anyway. My final complaint, and this should be more for UPS then Best Buy. Is that when I received the product, the box was in very poor condition. There were multiple holes around the box, one of which I could fit my hand through. As well as the corners of the box having been damaged enough to create more holes. However, to Best Buy's Credit, the Product within was fully functional and was missing no parts. The items were fully encased in a Styrofoam cube within the box and were fully protected.

    Best of the Mid Range sticks

    Very well made. The base of the Throttle and Stick both have a very sturdy feel to them. The Joystick has a good amount of tension to it but not too much to where you feel as if you are fighting the stick for control. Plenty of buttons to go around. The pedals are much nicer in person than the photos do justice. The plastic is very thick and they are well made and seem like they will last a good while. The software is a bit of an easter egg hunt to find on Thrustmaster's site, but once installed works nicely and makes it easy to remap the stick. I played a decent bit of Elite Dangerous with it in and out of VR. I am not really sure how I played the game without it. It is well worth the extra hundred or so dollars to get this on vs the others for sale due to the much nicer feel an extra buttons. My only gripe with the system is that the throttle handle is pretty big for my small hands. I wish I could adjust the grip or change out for a smaller one. Also to note, the stick works for right handers or left handers with a few modifications in the form of a switch on the bottom of the joystick and reversible thumb and handrests.

    Good starter joystick and throtle

    Great hardware but the software user interface is terrible and unintuitive. You'll probably need to watch a few videos about it just to be able make and save profiles for your games. Good news is the software works and once you set your profiles you never have to touch it again. The build quality of the hardware is good for being made out of almost all plastic, I did glue weights in the bottom to make the joystick and throttle more stable on my desk. If you are willing to pay more and some cases several times more their are way better options. But if you not hard core into space or flying sims and looking for a good value this is a great way to go. Also I bought an open box unit from best buy and the only thing that indicated that it was an open box unit was the tape best buy used to seal it. All the manuals, foam, plastics, twist ties were there and it had looked like it wasn't ever touched.

    Great joystick, throttle and pedal pack for the price. VERY easy to set up, just plug in and forget about it. I bought this to play Elite Dangerous and couldnt be more pleased with it. It does take some time to set up, dont give up.... there are a few websites that will help you with setting this up. I recomend watching the following youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTaWDpw3108 For setting up using the TARGET software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqtTx441fRc If you are playing in VR, check out this site: https://github.com/dantman/elite-vr-cockpit/releases there is also another site that will help you map out the custom controls, but it appears to be down (at the time Im writing this). here is the link in case it comes back online. http://www.mcdee.net/ My only CON is that the throttle needs a little bit of resistance at the mid point to you can use it for fwd and reverse. there are some aftermarket 3D printed upgrades that can be purchased that use a magnet to provide this slight resistance, as well as upgrade the feel of the throttle a bit (smooths it out) . thrustmaster needs to make that a standard feature for this othersie fantastic pack.

    I wanted the flight stick + throttle for Elite Dangerous and decided to spring for the pedals for Flight Sim 2020. This is a nice joystick combo with tons of buttons. I wish the throttle had a some kind of haptic feedback for the center position but otherwise for the price I am happy. Only real complaint. This is my first joystick purchase in about 15 years and I can't believe they still haven't figured our a way to neatly store the wire when not in use.

    Good Flight Stick and Throttle Option

    I have an 80/20 cockpit that I usually use for sim racing, but I added this flight stick and throttle and it is great fun for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Star Wars Squadrons. The stick has good build quality, even though its plastic, and it has two hard mount threaded holes. It feels very good in my hand and has plenty of conveniently located buttons with braille dots on them so I can find them while in VR. The throttle also feels great, although the resistance is a little stiff for me. It also has two hard mount threaded holes and so I was able to conveniently mount it to the left side of my cockpit. My only complaint is the pedals. I did not find them to be comfortable and so they are in the box collecting dust. In summary, although not cheap, this flight stick and throttle are nice options if you are semi-serious about my flight simming. Buy with confidence!

    Includes more than I looked for but pleasantly surprised. All parts are very precise and smooth giving good control and quick response. Large number of buttons and switches allow HOTAS functions to be well mapped along with plenty of stick base buttons to assign in place of keyboard mapping. Stick, throttle, and peddles are all comfortable to use. Everything is immediately recognized by Windows 10 and works extremely well in MSFS and DCS World with the F-16, F/A-18, and the user made C-130. The three parts use 2 USB ports as the peddles plug into the throttle and is recognized as additional axis of the throttle. A separate adapter can be purchased for the peddles to allow it to be plugged in to a USB port independently.

    One of the BEST Flight Systems you can buy! Although, there are not many options available at the time of writing this as many of these Flight Sets are becoming more and more difficult to purchase in New or Unused conditions. Many models are being discontinued and unavailable anywhere for purchase...which leaves limited options. However, This set is a more up-to-date model in keeping up with current technology. The T.16000M FCS 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. Its striking orange accents and backlighting bring gamers’ immersion to a whole new level.

Magnets ensure friction-free action for razor-sharp precision that won’t decrease over time Helical spring (0.1” / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick providing firm, linear and smooth tension Fully ambidextrous joystick! 3 removable components allow the joystick to be perfectly tailored for left-handed or right-handed use Piloting with a joystick in each hand is now possible in all games compatible with two joysticks 16 action buttons with “braille”-style physical button identification! 12 on the base and 4 on the stick + one 8-way Point of View hat switch Switch allowing users to configure the 12 buttons located on the base in a left- or right-handed position 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick) Ergonomic trigger for brake (civilian flight) or rapid fire (military flight, space simulation) control Multidirectional hat switch (for panoramic view) Ergonomic design for optimum comfort Wide hand rest for reduced stress Weighted base for enhanced stability TWCS throttle TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle: use your left hand to increase your combat speed and manage your spaceship or jet fighter. The TWCS throttle’s lower positioning compared to quadrant-based systems provides unrivalled comfort. To give simmers complete control, the TWCS throttle includes 14 buttons and one 8-way-PoV hat switch that are added to those of the joystick. In total, this provides gamers with 9 axes, 30 buttons and two 8-way PoVs – plus 3 extra axes via the optional TFRP rudder*. The TWCS throttle features 5 axes and a rear RJ12 connector offering 3 additional axes via the external optional TFRP rudder* from Thrustmaster’s flight product ecosystem. *Sold separately...Which this set includes.
