    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    I got this for my boys to use with MS Flight Sim and thought that the T.Flight Hotas 4 was a newer version of the T.Flight Hotas One; in reality, while both models work with a PC, the Hota 4 is not a newer model, but one that works with PlayStation vs. the Hotas One with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.

    Squadrons VR helper

    I purchased Squadrons VR for PS4 and attempted to use the standard PS4 controller to play it, which is rather confusing as there are A LOT of buttons, which made it not so much fun to play as most of the time was spent figuring out the controls. With everyone being home during this pandemic, Flight Sticks are hard to find or pricey on Amazon as you don’t have much of a choice there as everyone is raising the prices. This particular flight stick is 2x the amount at Best Buy. TWICE THE PRICE for the same product!!! Luckily, Best Buy doesn’t overcharge during these times, but stock is limited, as it took me 2 weeks to be able to purchase, but worth it. Using the flight stick made Squadrons VR a lot more intuitive. There are specific /recommended button configurations (which can be found on the website) to make the game you want to play (Squadrons, Combat Aces, Flight Sim). It takes some time to map it, but the 20 mins spent on button mapping is worth it, and now I enjoy playing Squadrons VR. The flight stick comes as 2 separate pieces (connected with a cable) so you can play it in whichever way you feel comfortable, but it also comes with an allenwrench and screw to attach them together (as pictured) which makes it easy to simply put on your lap and play that way. There are plenty of other flight sticks that can have MORE buttons, and other features, but those triple/quadruple the price of this “entry level” flight stick. I’m pretty happy with this particular flight stick, especially at the Bestbuy price point.

    Great Entry-level for PC, essential for Consoles.

    Console-ready HOTAS works well with reasonable responsiveness to PS4 and PS5 games. Available software makes setting up for PC use solid as well. Throttle stops in mid-point, which is good for certain games but is mildly irritating for Sims that use the whole range for throttle controle. For the money, there is not a better entry level HOTAS out there. That being said, as it lacks many of the features of other Thrustmaster models and is limited to only 10 buttons if you are looking for a PC HOTAS consider looking up to the next level. For consoles, where options are significantly more limited, this is the one to get if you are using Playstation products.

    I purchased this stick to use on PC with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and it works great! There are a few things that could be better, but I knew what I was getting when I purchased it. Let's start with a few good things. The fact that you can separate the throttle from the flight stick is fantastic. I place my keyboard in between them. The flight stick has some adjustment by using the knob on thy bottom. I loosened mine up a bit. The twist rudder works well. There are plenty of buttons which covers the most essential controls. The biggest con is the detent on the throttle. It gets a bit annoying fighting it for fine control, but I understand that it's likely done for collective control on helicopters. This stick does not have hall effect sensors, so it may not be super precise, but I have enjoyed many hours of flying none the less. If you're looking for a good stick to start with, you'd should be on your list.

    Let me start off by saying. If you are like me and maybe playing with a controller and aren't doing bad but think just maybe if you got one of these you are magically going to be a lot better pilot.. It didn't work out that way for me lol. I was doing decent with my xbox controller. Got one one of these and... I was all over the place.. It did not feel natural. I could fly relatedly smooth on a controller but was all over the place with this stick. Maybe I would be better off with a Yoke setup.. Maybe I just prefer my controller and keyboard. Aside from that I was actually surprised by build quality the plastic feels hefty. Also very comfy to grip. The part connecting the stick to the base looked cheap. Stick movement didn't feel very smooth at all. The throttle moves a little too fast for my liking. I was expecting it to feel more slow when pushing it up and down.. The notch in the middle didnt bother me at all.
