I bought this joystick thinking I could use it with a Thrusmaster TWCS Hootas throttle instead of a t16000m joystick with Target software because I want a locking Z-axis need a joystick. Thrustmaster is so proprietary that you can't even use other Thrustmaster Target-enabled game controllers together unless they belong to a specific set. You must be using the Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition to use the target software with an Airbus joystick. Thrustmaster claims that all of their Target-enabled products can, and probably can, work together if you understand how to script, but let's face it, nobody wants to go through this kind of trouble just to use a joystick, if there is one Vjoy and Joystick Gremlin, which defeats the purpose of buying an aiming joystick from the start. I can just use Vjoy and a Joystick Gremlin to program one of my old no yaw joysticks to work with my hots and I already have a Thrustmaster t16000m when I need yaw so this joystick is completely useless to me.
