Works great for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for PS5. Good response and customization available!

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.

I initially bought this joystick only because my favorite one was not in stock and having driven 60 miles just to buy one I was reluctant to go home empty handed. (incidentally my favorite one was in stock when I left home but that's another story.) I have to admit that the Thrustmaster - T.Flight Hotas 4 Joystick is a much better joystick than my original. I fly the FSX flight sim and this stick works fantastic. BUT do read the instructions before you go charging off hooking it up. In order to function beyond Play Station you have to download the drivers which are called out in the instructions. It was very easy to do. This joystick can be split into two separate parts which is how I use it. The Thrustmaster is twice as expensive as my original joystick but the quality is much better. I wore out two of the other ones and I'm not a "ham fisted" flyer who bangs the stick from side to side. I think the Thrustmaster is definitely going to outlast my former favorite joystick.
