Thrustmaster 4169085 T-flight Hotas 4 Joystick

Good product!

I have always been interested in flight simulators and flying aircraft in games (when available). The controller feels great and is simple to connect (for the games that allow it). One minor problem that I have is the “clasp” for putting them together... it does not hold them together perfectly and you kind of have to awkwardly stack / shove them together. Other than that, I really recommend this for anyone who wants to take flight in game!Read full review

Great when it works

It’s a great product when it works. It had a little bit of drift but nothing a 5-10% dead zone would fix. I really liked mine but it started pitching forward intermittently. When it was working it was great. Sadly mine started to have issues after a few days. I had a problem with the pitch and when I researched fixes, it seems a lot of people have problems with the roll or yaw. Not really usable if you can’t fly straight. Also you really need a PC to troubleshoot the problems. I’m really surprised at Thrustmaster that you can only update the firmware with Windows. I’m fine with it only working on PS4 & PC but you should be able to update the firmware via PS4 or Mac. Read full review

Used

..... not sure how you got you’re hands on new old stock but this surely is not used!! Given the package looks like it came from the bottom of the ocean, the controller itself looks brand new and in fantastic condition! I would recommend anyone thinking about buying this as a no brainer, save a few bucks! Box is not in the best condition obviously as stated but the controller itself looks brand new and performs like brand new! Read full review

Works great for PS4 and PC games with HOTAS support!

Totally improves the playability and immersion of games like Star Wars Squadrons and Elite Dangerous. Plug and play with PS4, with good settings straight off the bat. A little more configuring involved for setting up on the PC, but once this is done works well. Feel of the flight stick is great and buttons are all in handy places. IMHO works best when then the throttle and stick sections are detached and used shoulder width apart - feels very natural. Construction feels good and should be able to take some sustained use.Read full review

Pretty great low-cost HOTAS option

It was super easy to get the drivers up and running on Windows 11. Everything works and feels exactly like you'd expect. There's even a tension adjustment knob on the bottom of the flight stick so that you can change how stiff / loose it feels.
There's plenty of cable there for separating the 2 halves and mounting them, but the cable management system that's built into the bottom makes it pretty easy to only expose as much cable as is needed. So far, I've used it to play Descent, Overload, and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. It took a bit of setup / tinkering to get everything working with MW5, but that's on the game, not the controller.
So far, I'm very happy with this thing.

If you're looking for top-of-the-line SIM controls, this ain't it... but if you're wanting a fun starter HOTAS so that you can try out a more immersive control scheme for space, flight, and mech games - then you'll enjoy this thing.Read full review

There's a learning curve with Squadrons, but after a couple weeks it's smooth like butter.

My advice, don't change the controls. Just learn what's mapped. The joy stick is easy enough, but the throttle has buttons that aren't intuitive. But in time it'll become second nature.

Big Improvement over regular PS4 controller

Use my Thrustmaster Flight Hotas 4 for Ace Combat 7 -
AWESOME !! Placement of controller buttons, Joystick (with the ability to adjust movement sensitivity-friction)and the Thrust lever with control button placement allows easy access to map views, and defensive flare deployment is an exceptional improvement over the standard PS4 controllers !! I recommend this to enhance your “Air Combat” experience !!!Read full review

Looks and feels good. Haven’t tested it ...

Looks and feels good. Haven’t tested it yet but I need to find a stand that it can screw into. I have a Omega classic stand for my G29 wheel and it could work.

Difficult to load required information.

If I can figure out how to get it installed on the play station, I think it will be great.
However, I have had no luck getting it to work. You need somehow to download additional
drivers to get it to run. No luck so far.Read full review

Great entry flight stick

Definitely works for my purposes on War Thunder. Programming custom button sets has a learning curve, but after you find your favorite layouts, this thing can be a deadly tool. For average flight, it's absolutely adequate.Read full review
