Build a flight simulation setup with Thrustmaster controls. This collection brings together flight hardware such as joysticks, throttles, rudder pedals and compatible accessories as the range expands.

Choose your Thrustmaster equipment

Choose controls that suit your aircraft and simulator. Check platform support, connections, mounting space and the components included with each product. Compatibility with racing equipment should not be assumed.

Match your controls to the aircraft you fly

Flight simulation covers different styles of flying. Consider which movements and functions you want to control directly, from pitch and roll to thrust and rudder input. The aircraft you fly most often and your preferred simulator provide a useful starting point. Compare the layout of the controls with the way you want to operate the cockpit, rather than simply choosing the largest number of buttons.

Plan a comfortable cockpit layout

Think about where the main controls, throttle and pedals will sit in relation to your seat and screen. Leave enough clearance for their full range of motion and check how each device is mounted. A temporary desk arrangement may need different mounting accessories from a dedicated flight cockpit. Cable routing and available connections are also part of the installation.

Check software support before expanding

Confirm the supported platform and simulator requirements for the exact hardware. Review how axes and buttons are assigned and whether any setup software is required. When adding separate devices, check the full combination and follow the individual calibration instructions. Begin with a manageable control layout and add functions as your flying routine develops.

Frequently asked questions

What does HOTAS mean?

HOTAS stands for Hands On Throttle And Stick. It describes a control arrangement built around a throttle and flight stick; included devices vary by package.

Do I need separate rudder pedals?

That depends on your controls, aircraft and preferred way of flying. Check which rudder input options your existing equipment and simulator provide.

Can flight controls be combined with racing equipment?

They are designed for different tasks. Check each device's supported platform, software and connections before planning a shared installation.
