This product is packaged very well, and the construction is not cheap and flimsy at all. It was plug and play, no problems at all on Windows 11. It just worked. There is quite a bit of mapping to do if you want to fly using DCS World. There are about 21 or more buttons that need to be mapped to functions for the aircraft you are using. I would definitely recommend this flight stick. Review: This thing is a beast. You are definitely getting what you paid for. It's quality built and the grip is steel - I was expecting a heavy duty plastic. It's heavy too - if you don't use it for flight sims, you could always defend your home with it as a club. The buttons are well placed and function smoothly. Stick movement is fluid and worked great for me with DCS, IL2 and Elite Dangerous. I only have two issues - 1st, (which is all on me) is that my last stick had a twist function; this one does not- just a heads up. 2nd - (this is all on my wife) - 1st stage trigger pull has a high pitch click which at times drives my wife nuts. I picked this up with the TMWH magnetic base and I couldn't be happier. If you have a the means, I highly recommend it. ## Features - ランブル ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZPNMYGW | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (82) | | Item model number | 2960848 | | Language | English, French | | Product Dimensions | 29.46 x 14.48 x 12.95 cm; 1.44 kg | ## Images ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-Onn Grip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KJ7cEh49L.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-Onn Grip - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rrTTWqfaL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-Onn Grip - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vjMzNUyPL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-Onn Grip - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zjywtMhNL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-Onn Grip - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518B8ApavFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I buy this with a base? Or do I already need to have one?** A: You Need a base, as well. (Pay attention to the connection of the power and the threading/ interfacing to the base you choose.) Heads up- Virpil is backordered 8 weeks plus if you can wait. Thrustmaster base works just fine. I recommend getting the extension, and doing center stick. **Q: Does this stick offer a Z or twist axis?** A: This is an add on fligh stick for the Hotas Warthog (you can search Amazon for ASIN B00371R8P4). There isnt a "twist" incorporated in to this product as it is designed to be used with rudder pedals like the Thrustmaster TFRP or Thrustmaster TPR pedals. **Q: We know that it's phisically different from the A10 joystick, but is there a difference in handling amd feeling?** A: It is not, the F-16C flight stick it is exactly the same as the A-10C flight stick that comes with the TM Warthog Hotas., same feel, same button layout, same exact dimensions, the only one that is physically different with a different feel and button layout is the F-18 flight stick. **Q: Will there ever be an option to get the grip with the base? I have no need for the A-10 grip** A: Check out these bases (https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html), they are directly compatible with the Thrustmaster sticks and are extremely high quality. You may have to wait depending on which one you want. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***Y on November 13, 2023* I have gone through the cheaper (flimsey, loose, plastic) flight sticks/throttle control devices and when I bought the F16-C Viper offered for DCS World, I bit the bullet and purchased this flight stick.
