Thrustmaster offers a wide selection of Flight Simulator hardware, including 'real aircraft inspired'- and replica-controllers. If your preffered aircraft is from Airbus or Boeing, be sure to take a look at their TCA-range. Thrustmaster also has developed multiple military controllers, such as A-10 Warthog Controls and a F-18 Flight Stick, which we've listed on the Thrustmaster Military-page.

Control your power settings with a throttle

With a throttle, you can control your airplane's power settings. Although this is possible with most joysticks already (with a slider on the base of the stick), a throttle is more accurate due to its more extensive range. Most throttles also have an extensive number of buttons. In the most popular flight simulators, these buttons are assigned to the most used functions (i.e., gear, flaps, or lights), but they can also be set to your preference manually.

You can also choose a throttle quadrant. The big difference between a standard throttle and a throttle quadrant is the number of axes. A quadrant usually has at least three axis, which can be used for multi-engine flying or for setting your propellor- and mixture- settings. Some quadrants even have the possibility to add a speedbrake or flaps lever.

Enhance Your Flight Experience with Rudder Pedals

Rudder Pedals are a great addition to your setup as well. Pedals are placed on the ground and are operated with your feet. They are mainly used to control your rudder (part of the vertical stabilizer of the tailplane). If you want to make a nice crosswind landing, you can't fly without rudder pedals. Another function of the pedals is ground control. You use the pedals to steer your (nose)wheel while taxi-ing. They are also used for braking.

Accessories for Flight Simulator

When taking your flight simulator experience to the next level you can also add flight simulator accessories.
We have a comprehensive range of flight simulator modules, i.e., to control your automatic pilot or radio's. Or a high-fidelity headset to undergo the sound of your airplane on a whole other level.
