Question: Is this compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X?I'm looking for a flight stick for Microsoft FSX. Any recommendation will be appreciated.
Document: I've had experience with several joysticks, wheels and pedal sets over the years so I looked forward to receiving my Thrustmaster with mixed emotions, because some of my past experiences had been less than sterling. But true to what I'd read, the T-16000M was really "plug and play" in terms of working without further configuration with Flight Simulator X. The various buttons are pre-configured for FSX and the stick itself works smoothly.
We have only had this around 30 days, but it is working great so far. It is easy to use and has a great feel for a flight stick. My son is using it with MicroSoft Flight Simulator and it is working great.
I've owned several flightsticks and HOTAS [Hands On Throttle And Stick] (which are needed for combat aircraft), and for smoothness of control of heading and altitude, this one is the best. It was easier to control the Flight Simulator X Extra stunt plane with it, and slightly easier to land the Vertical Reality Simulations F/A-18E on an aircraft carrier with it, as compared to the CH Fighterstick.
I bought this stick to replace a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. The Logitech wore out and became unusable rather quickly, so I was specifically looking for a stick that used a sensor technology that wouldn't wear out. I was also looking for a stick that had a twist rudder like the Logitech.I play flight simulators like X-Plane on Mac OS X. My granddaughter plays Nanosaur 2.I seriously considered the CH Products sticks because of their reputation for reliability.
It would've gotten 5 stars, but my last Thrustmaster's trigger went bad and this is my second one, so I'm being cautious in my review. But, compared to the previous Logitech that I had (a real p.o.s.) it's great! As long as the trigger or any other function doesn't fail, it's the best joystick I've used (for PC Battlezone I/II/TRO and MS Flt Sim X).
Definitely the best Flight Stick under $100. I use this for IL2 1946, much better then my previous Saitek Cyborg X.
it is good but not great for flight sims. I think it is more usefull for games. i am using mic. FSX hard to set and feel the plane.
My old X-45 joystick/throttle bit the dust due to break inside the wire between the units. I looked for a suitable replacement for a long time, because I used to be a "real" pilot and wanted a unit for flight sims that was more than a toy. When I read about the accuracy of this one, it seemed like a good bet. It IS ACCURATE! The slightest movement of the stick is picked up.
Use this with flight simulator x and have had no issues with it. IT syncs well with the game and being able to program the buttons for different functions in flight sim x is really useful. love this thing
I have a few flight games that really aren't playable without a stick and this fits the bill perfectly. The control is smooth and responsive with more than enough buttons for any added functionality. I initially thought that the light ring indicating the stick had gone back to center would annoy me but I quickly grew accustomed to it and I now feel that it serves a useful purpose. There is one control that I'm not yet sold on and that is the accelerator slider.
Answer: It should work with Flight Simulator X. Flight Simulator X is compatible with joysticks, yokes, game pads, and other controllers supported by Microsoft Windows and the DirectInput device standard. Many products feature different configurations, so refer to your controller's documentation for its button assignments. Before you fly, make sure your joystick or other controller is plugged into your computer, enabled in the Windows Control Panel, and calibrated properly. Also make sure you have the latest device drivers. If in doubt, download and install them from the manufacturer's Web site.
