I have looked at Thrustmaster sticks over the years with envy, to me they represented an elite level in joysticks. While I really like flight and spaceflight simulations, I could never quite warrant spending the big bucks on Thrustmaster or Saitek joysticks. Logitech and others had reasonably priced sticks for my level of gaming.
For the past several years I have been on consoles so joysticks were not a big option. Recently I stepped back into PC gaming and I purchased one of the "Elite" space combat games. Even in the video for the game, the character used a stick combo that was very similar to a Thrustmaster setup...clever subliminal marketing? Maybe so because after trying somewhat unsuccessfully to fly on just a keyboard and mouse, I was looking for a stick
I thought about going with one of the Logitech sticks, like what I had before, then I saw this setup. Where it would be asy to close in on or surpass 400.00 US on Thrustmaster sticks, here was both for a very very reasonable price. Was it discontinued? An inferior model or refurb? Nope, it is just a specific model that Thrustmaster produced to solicit a niche of bargain PC gamers and PS3 gamers(Yes! The stick works on PS3!!! I find out AFTER I have moved on to the PS4( I have yet to see if it works on PS4, but even if it does there are not many games that call for a stick like this))
The T-Flight is a great stick for the price-point. It is not going to be the same quality as the 200.00 individual components, but that is not to say this is not a quality device...Au Contraire... This is a great bang for the buck.
The unit arrives together in the box but not connected. You have the option of screwing the throttle and the stick together via installed screws in the base. There also is an allen wrench included in the base, complete with its own snap in nook. This is good because the screw heads are of a star type.
That being said, you should put them together to see if you are comfortable with them being that close together. Maybe you have space limitations...who knows. I tried it and personally felt it was a little close together for me and how I was using it, so I opted to separate the stick and throttle. The cord that connects them is about 3 feet long and will wrap up in the base of the throttle if you choose to connect them.
True to good quality sticks like Thrustmaster, there are many buttons and they are programmable. Additionally there is an tensioning adjustment under the flight stick, but it didn't make a great bit of difference to me.
All in all the joystick has a good feel to it and responds well. With one exception which I have seen in several reviews, I will add in mine as well. The throttle has a middle or neutral spot if you will and I guess in lieu of making a spring based solution, they mad moving out of this spot a little hard. It's almost like it sticks, you definitely will feel it and it can affect what you are trying to do, especially thrusting forward. I believe in time, with a good amount of usage, the stick should wear sufficiently to be more smooth but for now it is almost certainly a hindrance. For many it can be lived with, others it could be the straw that breaks the camels back in deciding on this stick.
If you can put your hands on one before buying, I think that would help you formulate a better decision. A joystick or gamepad can be 10$ and feel perfectly right for you or a 200.00 professional model and still not quite cut it. It really comes down to how it feels to you.
In the end, I think this is a fantastic stick, especially for the price. It has many features, very programmable and feels really good with the exception of the throttle mid point. For me, I can overlook it given how I use the stick and the frequency.

Realistic and ergonomic joystickIn real life, pilots use a stick and throttle as flight controls, as these are the most effective in terms of performance and precision. T. Flight Hotas 4 provides this same level of realism. The joystick’s unique, ergonomic design adapts to all types of flight (aerial combat, space adventure, civil flight, etc). The large hand rest helps players keep their hand in a very stable and relaxed position, to respond to the subtlest motions. Adjust the stick’s resistance to suit your needs and preferences. The base is weighted, to offer enhanced stability during gaming sessions. |
Detachable throttleThe joystick features a full-size throttle which you can use to easily control the acceleration of your aircraft. The throttle is detachable and may be positioned in 2 different ways, either: - Detached and separated from the joystick (to recreate authentic piloting conditions); or - Attached to the joystick (for greater stability and to take up less space) |
Dual rudder systemThe joystick features a rudder function, which in a plane corresponds to the pedals used by the pilot to turn the steering, allowing the plane to pivot around its vertical axis (therefore making the plane turn left or right). This rudder function is accessible on your joystick by rotating the handle (with integrated locking system) or by progressive tilting lever. |

Amazing for Ace Combat / Star Wars Squadrons. Xbox One / Series X/S Works on PC too!!
Ordered two, one for myself and one for my best friend who loves flight simulator games as a birthday gift and took a little bit to make sure it was all set up and configured correctly at first and is still taking some getting used to as I haven't had a joystick in the better part of almost 20 years all the way back since my wingman days on PC, but thrustmaster has always made great joysticks or HOTAS setups.The throttle control in Ace Combat is amazing and all of the axis controls, targeting options, etc. are really perfect for games like that and the level of customization is unlike anything I've ever seen on previous joysticks that I've owned. I haven't had the opportunity to use it on PC yet and I don't own Microsoft flight simulator as I prefer like actual aerial combat dog fighting games however I have heard that it can be configured for several games involving space combat.Definitely makes a huge difference over using a regular controller... I really don't get what is up with all of the negative reviews that people have made about this flight stick but as far as I've seen it's great. It even comes with its own miniature Allen hex wrench to be able to securely screw the throttle base to the joystick base so you can have it as one giant unit like I do for either setting on a table or your lap while playing or you can also detach them depending on your preference although the wire connecting them is not detachable so it's wise to be mindful of that but overall it is an amazing flight stick and for people who've had issues using it with their XBox you have to make absolutely sure that you've turned off your controller and have the joystick itself plugged in via the USB port before you actually start the game even once you've got it loaded to make sure that the joystick is being recognized as your player one controller.
