Review: The best entry level / budget joystick for starters - The Thrustmaster T16000M does it's job perfectly as an entry level joystick to enter into space or flight sims. It was easy to set up and responsive, mapping was simple and works fine with games like Star Citizen and Microsoft flight simulator. The ambidextrous grip is easy to swap over as long as you have a screwdriver handy. Running HOSAM for Star citizen has been an absolute game changer in not only how well I am able to fly but also the immersion into the game. It has a good amount of buttons to map your needed items very rarely do I have to move back to the keyboard when in flight. It does not have Vibration if that is something you are interested in.
Review: Outstanding Joystick and Throttle - I've used Thrustmaster products since the 90's and never had any issues with them and this is no different. Years ago I was using a Saitek X52 and when that started failing I decided to purchase a budget joystick so got the Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X back in 2016 when it was on sale. Although the T.Flight Stick X is 8 years old it still works fine but I missed my separate throttle so started looking for a replacement. After extensive research, reading reviews and tests I opted for this, the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Hotas and one of the deciding factors was the precision of the joystick. I had originally thought about the Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S or Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog but the T16000M came out as my final choice. I fly mainly in DCS World and the precision of the joystick really shines through, especially in dogfights. It also works well in X-Plane and Ace Combat, although you will need to configure Ace Combat 7 manually in the config files. As this comes with the throttle I generally reassign the small sliding throttle on the joystick itself to another function, more often than not in DCS I use it as a zoom function. There are plenty of buttons to assign on the joystick itself, personally I mainly use the right side for engine controls and use the left side for things I use more often in flight as I can tap them with my thumb. The throttle also has plenty of buttons to assign and also has a dedicated analogue hat which is excellent in DCS for moving the camera around on targetting pods, you can assign the click of the analogue hat to something like target locking. There is also a rotary control on the top, left side of the throttle which is handy, again my main use in DCS is either zoom levels on the targetting display or I use it as the throttle for helicopters, leaving the throttle slide free for collective. One big plus of the throttle setup, that I was a little sceptical of was the rocker paddles on the rear. I use these as rudder control and I've got just as much control as I used to get with my dedicated pedals, takes a bit of getting used too but it's really impressive and saved me having to buy separate pedals and having another bulky box sat around. There are reviews that mention the plastic construction, yes it is plastic but then it's good quality and metal where it counts, my previous Thrustmaster that's 8 years old and still working is all plastic construction so not sure why some people have issues with it. End of the day if you want all metal then expect to pay 4x the cost of the T16000M and even some of them are plastic just with metal switches. One noticeable thing, which was mentioned in a number of reviews is the throttle slide action can feel a little but sticky. I did notice that out the box, it's not horrendous but can effect precision in something like DCS. There is an adjustment screw on the underside for the throttle action and I found loosening that off quite a bit helped make it more fluid, also being more gentle with the action and not forcefully pushing and pulling the throttle helped a lot. There is an after market slide you can fit but for me personally that won't be considered until the warranty has expired, as it is with the screw adjustment and being a bit more gentle using it I found it to be fine. If you want more button assignments you can use the Thrustmaster Target software that's free, personally I don't bother and I map everything I need to the throttle and joystick and then the rest of the commands I use voice control through Voice Attack. In all I think the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Hotas is an excellent choice for some precision flying, especially if you get it while on offer like I did.
