Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 - PS4 and PC Gaming Controller for Ultimate Flight Simulation Experience by Luis Penczak

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price, but there are two main drawbacks.

Good HOTAS. However, there are two main problems. Firstly, this will not work if you are not registered with the Playstation Network. Why do? The second major issue is that the cable between the throttle and the grip is too short (about 2 feet). I wanted to place the throttle stick to the left of my knees and the stick to the right, like on a real airplane, so I had to add two 4ft ethernet cables. This allowed me to place her next to me in the simulator cockpit. If you cut the wire in half, you will see 15 colored wires and 1 unshielded ground wire. Then take two 8-wire Ethernet cables and strip them. Then you simply solder all 16 ends together. Be sure to note which colored wires you match on one end so you can do the same on the other end. When you're done, just tape everything off so the wires don't touch each other, and you'll have a nice long wire between the grip and the throttle. I later wrapped the entire cable to make it stronger in case it gets pulled.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
