Incredible Flight Experience on PS5 – A Must-Have

The Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 is absolutely amazing and has taken my flight sim experience on PS5 to the next level. From the moment I plugged it in, everything worked seamlessly — no complicated setup, just plug and play.
The build quality is fantastic for the price, with a sturdy feel and responsive controls. The joystick has just the right amount of resistance for precise movement, and the throttle is smooth and realistic. I love that they can be used together as one unit or separated for a more immersive cockpit feel.
I’ve used it for games like Ace Combat 7 and I’m excited to use it for Aces of Thunder when it launches — this HOTAS makes flying so much more immersive than using a regular controller. It truly changes the whole experience.
If you’re even slightly interested in flight games or space sims on PlayStation, this is the controller you need. Thrustmaster nailed it with the HOTAS 4. Highly recommend it to any PS5 gamer looking to level up their realism and fun!

The only reason i got this was for elite dangerous. It works great with it.
I know this is not compatible with some games but thats where you have to do your own research. Alot of people buy it and expect to work with all. Do your reseach before buying.
Worth buying yes but depends on what game you want it for and compatibility.

Well made, but Hota One is better choice for PC.

I got this for my boys to use with MS Flight Sim and thought that the T.Flight Hotas 4 was a newer version of the T.Flight Hotas One; in reality, while both models work with a PC, the Hota 4 is not a newer model, but one that works with PlayStation vs. the Hotas One with XBox. If I purchased again, I would have gotten the Hotas One as MS Flight Sim identifies the buttons more clearly for the Hotas One.
Aside from the button labeling not being clear in MSFS, I have no complaints - build quality seems good and has made flying much easier!

Bought this yoke as an emergency purchase due to no availability of yokes for the release of Flight Simulator 2020. I have enjoyed using it. Great product for beginners. Had some minor issues getting it to work due to updates and instructions were not very specific. But I got it to work and works just fine

I love thrustmaster. Great quality. Supports all the flight games on PlayStation and PSVR. Only problem is if you have an XBox too you need to buy another flight stick for it.

Experience varies by games

I've been wanting to get Flight Sticks to use in various games. This was on sale and I decided to give it a try. After using it for a couple of weeks, I can say my experience has varied from game to game.
This device is not too heavy, can separate in two for better ergonomics but the cable is too short. I've seen multiple reviews cutting the wire and extending it with 2 ethernet CAT cords. I'm not ready to void my warranty yet so I've been playing with the sticks attached together. There are mounting points underneath for attaching them to a chair, which is neat.
Make sure to download the drivers if you intend to use them on PC. I haven't tried it on PlayStation as I don't have any games on that platform that could benefit from this controller.
The best game it has worked with so far is Star Wars Squadron. It picked it up immediately and I could play without any configuring. The game also supports VR, which I tried with the Oculus Quest but be wary that it could make you motion sick any time you look around your cockpit.
War Thunder worked once you figure out how to select the brand and model of HOTAS you are using. After that I was able to play a few missions.
DCS so far has not worked too great but I have a friend who's working with me on getting this setup. I think it'll work great once it's setup properly.
Battlefield 2042 is the worst game to date. Flight sticks don't work at all. My character was stuck looking down at the ground for as long as the flight sticks were plugged in. Looking online, there is no support at all for HOTAS controls. Another reason to avoid that game.
I'm sure there are other games to try and I will find them. Maybe in the future I'll get something fancier but for now I am satisfied with this.
