Review: Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas

[@praefectussmite8121]

I just bought one looking to get into flight sims. Thanks for the video! I haven't been in this genre before, so I think you sold the idea of this being a budget entry to see if I want to progress in this space.

[@g-locmedia]

Yea once you know your gonna enjoy it that's when you can start opening your wallet. Too many people jump in too quick and throw a lot of cash at it only for it to collect dust.

[@soulofgames6895]

there is a thither thing on bottom for the throttle btw

[@BatZie]

Six months later it broke. First the pitch registration started giving random signals. I opened it. Cleaned it. Got another month out of it. Then the twist function broke entirely sticking on a register of a severe left yaw. It's now in pieces in my bin. Sick to death of these shoddy peripherals for PS.

[@g-locmedia]

Sound like you've had a bad experience there. Thanks for sharing. Its always good for people to get info from multiple perspectives.

[@user-zv9zm9uy4e]

Its not made by ps. Its made by thrustmaster. Its also not good.

[@BatZie]

@@user-zv9zm9uy4e I know. But it is the only HOTAS aside from the atrocious HORI that will work on the console as Sony have DELIBERATELY gatekeeped which Third Parties can and cannot produce peripherals for the console.

[@Kiwi_As]

I just bought one secondhand for $10 so I think it is great since I may only use it a few times a year for fsx fun

[@g-locmedia]

$10. Bargain.

[@seto007]

Big question I have that I wish you went into more is how it performs when the throttle and stick are separated. You mentioned that it's quite light and only has the rubber feet on the bottom, which I wouldn't imagine being a huge issue if you're using it with both the throttle and stick attached, but I'm wondering if it might cause issues when separated which would be my personal ideal configuration.

[@g-locmedia]

Are on PlayStation or PC?

[@seto007]

@@g-locmedia PC, primarily thinking of getting this for Starfield and maybe Mech Warrior rather than flight sims or games like War Thunder. Will be using it at my desk tho

[@g-locmedia]

If your on PC there are better options but for PS5 really you e only got this or the HORI. Having the split definitely amplifies the small movement on the desk if your rough with it. An easy fix would be just sticking some extra rubber to the bottom.

[@hawkeyestiguy]

Great review! I'm not a PC gamer, but back in the day(like 1999), I had an old school sidewinder flight stick & the throttle was just a little lever on the side. 😂 I know they have much higher level stuff for PC with force feedback & all that, but I'm just getting into a PS5, so this should be plenty decent for me. I'm just glad they can be separated.

[@g-locmedia]

yea the separation is handy

[@A1trizzy]

For ace combat high g turns where ur supposed to hit the throttle and brake, how would u do that with this? Is it even possible?

[@user-td6op9fr9g]

I believe you can do it by pressing the square button

[@Plesio_]

Well... I just bought used one for 12,28USD in Poland and it's looking better than I expected. Nice review!

[@N1pa44]

Then do you have other recommends for ps5 players cause if that isnt good then what sould i buy🤔

[@fabianoh]

How would you compare this product versus the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro?

[@g-locmedia]

I've never tried the Logitech 3D extreme pro much. I think the joystick is slightly better although you don't get a throttle with it

[@JoeMalo]

How long is the USB cable? And is that an Ethernet port on the back of the throttle?

[@chris-mw4uo]

I think it's for rudder pedals

[@g-locmedia]

Sorry I no longer have the T.Flight HOTAS or I would have measure it out for you.

[@flowerpower555]

I wanna use it on star wars podracer idk if compatible

[@g-locmedia]

Sorry, i'm really not sure how this would work on that game

[@doifeellucky]

My Virpil Alpha Prime and CM3 base finally arrived. I can relate to this as I’m coming from a 15+ year old Saitek Cyborg Evo. I had CH Flightstick Pro back in the 90’s.
The metal Prime feels fantastic.

[@g-locmedia]

Virpil products are the holy grail for me. I have the control panel 2 and it’s a dream.

[@user-zv9zm9uy4e]

You cannot compare virpil to the goddamn t flight 😂😂

[@cyraxnzed578]

This stick with psvr and ace combat is super cool

[@g-locmedia]

yea it does work with in that setup

[@FACELESSIMPACT1]

I have the Xbox one version for my Xbox for MSFS and I think it's great for entry level simmers but I will be upgrading in a few months

[@g-locmedia]

It is a great entry point and something I should have mentioned in the video. These entry level products are so important for growing the flight sim space as a whole.

[@blackfox3673]

Did you already try on war thunder ?

[@roiam1804]

hello I am French sorry I do not understand your entire video but there is only this model which is compatible with the Playstation 5 ?

[@g-locmedia]

I think a company called HORI make a PS5 stick and throttle too.

[@middlez8469]

does it work on pc

[@jamesjira8199]

Yep

[@richardjohnson6024]

Works on PS5, PS4, and pc

[@user-gr8jq7vm4d]

thanks but i would love if there more options for ps5 only players
note: i planning to use it for only warthunder

[@g-locmedia]

Yea unfortunately Warthunder players on PS5 are a bit limited.

[@martinus6851]

And do you have a Good experience with it? I have a ps5 to and i would use it for sim with my f14

[@____Falcon___]

Did you do a review of the Other one I can't find it.

[@g-locmedia]

the standard edition?

[@jasonanderson2876]

The Hori….

[@AdamOu69]

I bought my second one when i got my psvr2 for "Enlisted" but didn't work, i think it silly to make a flying game vr but not add joystick options. Go through ps menu no prob. For ps4 ace combat 7 it's magical except throttle and it doesn't take to long before it starts having prob. like turning on its own.

[@AdamOu69]

Not Enlisted but project wingman ps5

[@Bl.sporti]

can you play msfs or dcs with it?

[@g-locmedia]

Yes it should show up as a controller

[@Bl.sporti]

@@g-locmedia tysm

[@Stompzsz]

Damn it costs less that the premium f20 in the game💀💀💀

[@g-locmedia]

its definitely on the budget side

[@anonymous.0102.]

Does it use a battery

[@g-locmedia]

No. It’s connected via usb

[@anonymous.0102.]

@@g-locmedia I bought mine but it didn't connect

[@trap_fiq8130]

You mean its better to play with War thunder and not for dcs?

[@g-locmedia]

will work fine on PC with DCS but you have way better options if you're going to be on PC

[@boboootu8871]

@@g-locmedia which one joystick you would recommend us within the same price range ?

[@g-locmedia]

@@boboootu8871 nothing else in that price range but looking up in to the next category gets you big changes in the quality.

[@boboootu8871]

@@g-locmedia one more question, does the throttling control have something like sort of resistance when I pull up or down?

[@nerdypenguinstreams]

does this work on fs22 on ps4?

[@g-locmedia]

Farming Simulator??? I'm not sure mate.

[@milliemcassey]

Can you tell me what ps5 games this works with please? For a child? 😂

[@g-locmedia]

You’d be looking at Ace Combat or WarThunder.

[@bodamaisenmann509]

& Elite Dangerous.

[@TheRealChuckNorrise]

In the eight and a half half minute video, the controller on the screen for 1 min, the rest seven and a half minutes the guy advertising his face. Just cut to the chase and do the review of yourself 😂😂😂😂

[@g-locmedia]

Thanks for the feedback. Always looking to get better with my channel. Much appreciated.

Hell no, was bad in 2010.
