    I didn't buy it to feel like i was flying a real aircraft. I bought it to be able to control aircraft better than a keyboard and that's what it does. Solid, I think it will last a while. But it's definitely entry level. I don't feel the heaviness of a real aircraft. But it's effective to give me better controls than my keyboard.

    Had originally when it came out 3 years ago. Purchased this one when it broke. This one not only feels better but the throttle is more accurate and smoother great for elite dangerous

    Disappointed with this Thrustmaster product

    A bit disappointed, the controllers have a sturdy feel, but as others have stated, all 3 are made out of plastic, a little less than 1/8" thick or thin depending upon which way you look at it. The rudder peddles, the width from outside left to right is 11.5", comfortable position for me when sitting, feet are 15" apart left inside of my foot to right inside. Point being I have to almost put my knees together to get my feet on the peddles, great for a kid but not so much for an adult. As with a real aircraft, and I am a pilot, you push forward on the peddles to apply the brakes. If you have the peddles right under your feet up against your chair, easy enough to do, but is rather uncomfortable to have them that close, any further away, since there are no adjustments it is very difficult to get the peddles pushed all the way forward to apply the brakes. There is also the fact the there isn't any real tension pushing the peddles backwards or forwards to control the rudder so you can go off course or worse buy simply putting your feet on the peddles. I purchased this set to us with MS Flight Simulator 2020, when you go to controls in MSFS you can see the joystick and the throttle. When you go to the joystick settings, it shows all the buttons and a lot of axis settings, like Joystick axis, X, X-, X+, Y, Y-, Y+ and so on, problem is, its trial and error to figure out which axis goes to which joystick control. When you go to the throttle settings, it shows the same thing but instead of saying throttle axis, it says joystick. It took a long time to finally get everything setup and working the way I wanted, problem though is when I went back a few days later, I was back to square 1, even thought I saved the settings, it did not remember them. I know the manuals shows all of the button and axis settings per device, and this might be a MSFS issue, but the settings should be a little, or a lot clearer as to button and axis assignments/settings/configuration per controller, you shouldn't have to guess. Joystick seems to work ok but I do have a problem with the buttons. I have an old Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, same amount of buttons and all have numbers on them, the Thrustmaster joystick does not so at quick glance finding the right button can be a challenge. I know, this review is mostly negative, and a lot if my frustration stems from not wanting to spend hours calibrating and adjusting settings hoping that the settings will be saved. I am the kind of person that if I cannot figure out the basics within the first 15 or 20 minutes, I have no use for whatever it is. Other than the rudder issue, which to me renders that device useless, if you have the time and patience to configure and set everything up give the joystick and throttle control a shot, you might have better luck than I.

    Real nice for the price. Only complaint is the pedals plug into the throttle slider controller so to use the pedals with other controls you have to leave the throttle slider plugged in also.

    Thrustmaster speaks for itself with affordable flight controls. Excellent deal with open box, essentially new and works as such.

    It looks fairly fragile when viewed online, but the controller is quite robust. It stands head above shoulders when compared to Logitech's equivalent system. Programming of controls/buttons/tolerances was a breeze.

    I had to wait a bit for this to be in stock but it was worth the wait. I have always been fascinated with flying and this is as close as I can get. Now I need to learn how to use them.

    Nice product but to properly calibrate the rudder controls you need to buy the TRJ12 USB adapter. Once calibrated it worked well and no issues.
