Thrustmaster is now giving members of its flight sim community the opportunity to totally customize and build their own dream setup from the ground up, thanks to the launch of a standalone version of its beloved HOTAS Magnetic Base for the very first time ever. The ability to purchase the base on its own gives simmers a level of adaptability that they’ve only been able to dream about until now, allowing them to use any of their favorite Thrustmaster add-on flight sticks (sold separately) with the base — and ushering in a brand-new era of optimized, fully customizable flight experiences for each and every user. The HOTAS Magnetic Base also proudly sports an eye-catching logo paying homage to the HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick’s 10th anniversary, sure to appeal both to collectors and old-school simmers looking to give their flight setup a dramatic instant upgrade.

HOTAS Magnetic Base key features:

Detachable metal plate for desk or cockpit-style use, with special 10th anniversary graphic.
The base features H.E.A.R.T Hall Effect AccuRate Technology, with 3D (Hall Effect) magnetic sensors for surgical precision that won’t decrease over time.
Super stable weighted base (weighs more than 4.4 lb / 2 kg without a flight stick grip installed).
The base is compatible with all flight simulation games.
Compatible on PC with the following Thrustmaster flight stick grips: HOTAS Cougar™, HOTAS Warthog™, F-16C Viper™ and F/A-18C Hornet™.

The availability of the Thrustmaster F-16C Viper™ HOTAS Add-On Grip, a life-size (1:1 scale) namesake replica of the real F-16C Viper™ flight stick, coincides with the recent early-access launch of the F-16C Viper module in the legendary DCS combat flight simulation game.

Inspired by the incredible success of the HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick (still the benchmark against which all other joysticks are judged), the grip integrates perfectly — and natively — with the DCS: F-16C Viper module, specially designed to replicate in minute detail the strike fighter aircraft whose outstanding versatility continues to make it a favorite of air forces around the globe. The real-world F-16C Viper™ is a supersonic multirole fighter jet in large-scale production, featuring renowned adaptability to meet the demands of a wide variety of different combat situations.

This is certainly an exciting chance for members of Thrustmaster’s community to once again access the very best in terms of flight sim quality and feel currently available, in order to truly get the most out of the breathtaking gaming experience delivered by this new DCS module that simmers everywhere can’t stop raving about.

F-16C Viper™ HOTAS Add-On Grip key features:

Life-size (1:1 scale) replica of the real F-16C Viper™ flight stick.
100% metal design incorporating durable, industrial-grade materials for an authentic feel and maximum product lifespan.
19 action buttons in total, plus one 8-way “point of view” hat switch.
Native integration in the game DCS via the dedicated DCS: F-16C Viper module (game and module sold separately).
Backward-compatible with the two key joystick bases in Thrustmaster’s revered flight simulation ecosystem: HOTAS Warthog™ and HOTAS Cougar™ (sold separately). Easily place the grip on your HOTAS Warthog™ or HOTAS Cougar™ base!

Although the product is of course compatible with all of the most popular flight simulation games, the F-16C Viper™ HOTAS Add-On Grip above all represents a real extension of the DCS: F-16C Viper module, for which — and this bears repeating — it features native integration!

“The Thrustmaster F-16C Viper™ HOTAS Add-On Grip is my stick of choice for the DCS: F-16C Viper module. It feels and operates just like the real F-16C control stick, and it has exceptional quality, price, and durability.”

Lo so che farò una figura misera, ma sono giorni che ho questo dubbio. Qualcuno mi spiega che differenza c'è tra lo stick in foto, che dicono di essere dell'F-16, e quello dell'A-10? A me sembra davvero identico...
 
In effetti anche a me sembrano uguali, il che sarebbe plausibile visto che usano lo stesso sistema Hands On Throttle-And-Stick (HOTAS).

Vediamo se qualcuno ne sa di più  [ehmmm]
 
Nella realtà sono uguali, dovrebbero cambiare alcune funzioni però, Nell'A10 il paddle switch credo non sia funzionante. Il CMS sull'A10, oltre alle 4 posizioni, può anche essere premuto per attivare il jammer, sull'F16 no.
A dire il vero non capisco nemmeno io cosa possa esserci di diverso rispetto allo stick venduto sul warthog  :???:
 
forse il movimento ? so che sul 16 nella realtà per avere il massimo pich o roll basta spsotarlo di pochi centimetri
 
è lo stesso hotas warthog di sempre, solo che per rilanciare il prodotto ne hanno approfittato dell'uscita di DCS F-16, cosi nuovi utenti e vecchi utenti possono abboccare all'amo. Hanno dichiarato loro stessi che i prodotti sono uguali ai precedenti. Hanno solo ri-pubblicizzato il prodotto sotto un nuovo nome. Mossa tattica.

Quindi ho uno stick F-16! Deve valere una fortuna, quasi quasi lo rivendo!  [devil]
 
Potevano almeno rivedere il meccanismo interno degli assi dello stick, eliminando quella plastica.

Fanno il colpaccio se producono la manetta dell’F16. E sarà dura resistere.  [:pilota]

Che poi voglio dire, la parte esterna ce l'hanno già... Devono solo ripensare alla componentistica interna
