High-precision magnetic sensor technology
The Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Hotas joystick and throttle uses H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) to deliver exceptional precision and reliability. With 16-bit resolution providing up to 16,000 x 16,000 values, it ensures highly accurate pitch and roll inputs.
This contactless magnetic system eliminates mechanical wear, maintaining consistent performance over time. The result is smooth, friction-free movement that enhances control during critical flight moments such as landing approaches or aerial manoeuvres.
This level of precision is typically found in high-end systems, making the T.16000M an outstanding value for sim pilots seeking accurate and dependable controls.
Complete HOTAS system for total flight control
The T.16000M FCS HOTAS combines a fully featured joystick with the TWCS throttle, delivering a true hands-on throttle and stick experience.
The joystick includes four independent axes, 16 action buttons and an 8-way POV hat switch, while the throttle adds additional inputs for a total of up to 30 programmable controls.
This comprehensive control layout allows pilots to manage throttle, pitch, yaw and additional aircraft systems without relying on a keyboard.
For a more advanced setup, pair it with rudder pedals, expand your rig using premium flight simulator accessories.
Smooth throttle control with S.M.A.R.T rail system
The included TWCS throttle features Thrustmaster’s S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Track) system, providing smooth and precise throttle movement.
This rail-based mechanism ensures fluid motion with controlled resistance, allowing for fine adjustments during acceleration, descent and engine management.
The throttle also includes multiple buttons, axes and an 8-way hat switch, giving pilots additional control over aircraft systems.
Whether flying commercial jets, military aircraft or space simulators, the throttle provides consistent and responsive input throughout the flight.
