Overview
New virtual pilots on PC get a USB flight stick with a throttle lever, twist rudder and a weighted base that installs without setup. Twelve buttons and four axes can be remapped, and the stick remembers its settings.
A simple, preconfigured setup gets beginners flying quickly with real stick and throttle control. Console use is limited to an older PlayStation, and it lacks the extra switches of larger HOTAS systems.
Who it's for
PC players starting out in flight and space sims. Console players on current systems and pilots wanting many switches should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Plug and play setup
- Twist rudder with lock
- Adjustable stick resistance
- Built in throttle lever
- Console support limited to older PlayStation
- Fewer buttons than full HOTAS sets
- Not licensed by Microsoft or Sony
Performance notes
Adjustable resistance sets how firmly the stick returns to center, which affects fine control in level flight. The twist handle handles rudder, and the lock disables it for games that use pedals or none. The weighted base holds the stick in place during hard maneuvers.
