Thrustmaster T-FLIGHT HOTAS 4 US/CAN/LAT ACE COMBAT 7 EDITION (PS4, XBOX Series X/S, One, PC)

Bought this HOTAS for Ace Combat 7 on PS4, and then eventually used it for some games on my PC as well. For the price point, I think I actually got quite a bit of milage out of it. I went through the entire AC7 campaign 3-4 different times with it, and I was able to use it on Star Wars Squadrons for a bit. I noticed some yaw drift playing Ace Combat, and some throttle jitters on Squadrons. At first those issues were manageable, but eventually it got to the point of not fully having control of the aircraft in either game. I should probably also mention here I started playing Project Wingman as well as Flight Simulator on PC when they came out. It started off working just fine with them too, but eventually they started having issues as well. I double dipped and got AC7 on PC and was able to go through the campaign a couple of times with it as well. I don't know what triggered it, but one day I tried to play a round of Ace Combat and my planes just started rolling uncontrollably without me even touching the stick. It ended up doing the same thing on Flight Simulator too. After reading other reviews my verdict is this is a great stick for entry level and the price is great, but don't expect much more than 2 years out of it.

Love that the people behind Ace Combat 7 & Thrustmaster finally teamed up & developed a flight stick for the PS4. This is literally the only flight stick/throttle combo out there that is both PS4 & PC compatible at least that I know of. The other PS4 games its compatible with seem very limited. I can confirm that it does not work for GTA5 or No Mans Sky which I was pretty disappointed about because those games involve quite a bit of flying that I think could be made better or more enjoyable with a stick/throttle combo like this.Seems to work alright with Ace Combat 7 because that was the game it was specifically developed for. It works well with a few flight sims including MSX & Orbiter space flight sim that I have on my PC running Windows 10 after installing the driver from the Thrustmaster website. The only letdown with using this on PC is the rudder controls on the throttle lever don't work & instead you gotta twist the stick left or right to operate the rudders on any flight sim game it works with which feels odd & really takes getting used to. Its OK I guess if you'd rather not spend another $50 to $100 on a rudder pedal controller.The button configuration is a bit weird for Ace Combat 7 & takes some getting used to. The X, circle, square & triangle buttons are all located on the throttle handle & they don't even do the same things they do as the standard controller does except maybe in the menu selection. For example; circle button was the fire missile button but that got replaced with the L1 button now located on the main stick.Also, another annoyance with this controller is the only way to look around is you hold the R2 button located on the throttle lever & move the stick around. I think this could have been replaced with the hat switch(circular thingy next to the L1 button) on the main stick. I think they should have used that as the look around function. It is in Microsoft Flight Sim. Don't know why they felt they had to take extra steps just to add a look around function this way.As for button config I would have preferred the X circle, square & triangle buttons to be on the stick itself & all the L buttons on the throttle with the trigger on the stick as the button that operates the machine gun & a little D pad located somewhere easily accessible would have been nice. Aside from these quarks, its a decent Thrustmaster stick/throttle combo for the money.

I was looking at this Hotas as well as the Hori Hotas. I was able to play around with the Hori in a nearby electronic store, and, like almost everyone else stated, there is a massive dead zone when turning your aircraft. The overall joystick is nice to hold, and does look nice, but what good is it if it isn't functional? Definitely cannot justify the cost. On the other hand, the T.Flight Hotas 4 by Thrustmaster is by far better than the Hori. It's simple to use, and I mean very simple to use. The layout of the buttons are perfectly placed within reach of your fingertips. Another key point to mention is the throttle handle. The throttle is kinda smooth. I'd prefer if it was more firm, but cant really complain. Also, in Ace Combat 7, the proper amount of thrust is given with the proper amount of throttle-meaning, its not just low, medium and high. It's actually variable, which is a huge plus in my opinion. The handling is excellent. You could even attach the throttle and stick together with the hex-screws on the bottom of the Hotas. If you are trying to get into any flight games, for the PS4 or PC, this is a must-buy! Plus, at fraction of the cost of the Hori, why not??

I have had this stick for about 2 years now, and when I'm playing Elite Dangerous and I let go of the stick the ship moves in tons of different ways. I still highly recommend this stick though.

Worth the money, If your looking for a more inexpensive flight stick I recommend this one. It's a great starter stick and far cheaper then a normal one. Its sturdy and seems pretty durable. Has a great button layout. Also comes with a joystick tighten feature which is great. The wire connecting the stick to the throttle could have been laid better so you can place the two together easier but it's not hard. The wire connecting your flight stick to your Console or PC is nice and long so you can play further back. I use VR so its helpful because I have to sit back a tad bit so the VR camera can pick me up. If your looking for a first time Flight stick for cheap this is the one. If your looking for one that's realistic and better layout your going to want to spend more money but this is perfect for a budget.

A must have for PS4. Great for Elite Dangerous, Ace Combat 7 skies, Eve Valkyrie and any other PS4 flight game. It is not built to last but excellent for the price. The AceCombat7 version seems to be better built than the regular version. No drift as far as I can tell. I bought one first from Best Buy. Had drifting issues immediately. I decided to take a chance on a special version and I was not disappointed. No drift or dead zone issue as far as I can tell. Will buy this version again as these controllers tend to go out after a year or so. Great buy for the Buck.

los controles son muy ergnomicos, los botones funcionan muy bien... pero hay 2 cosas que no anticipba:la posicion del joystick es unusual en tus piernas y no te dan el mejor alcancehabiendo jugado muchas hrs con el control del PS4 es muy dificil olvidar y adaptarte a las nuevas posiciones, por ejemplo en AceCombat ya habia terminado las misiones en nivel dificil, ahora ni siquierea puedo pasar algunas... te vuelves muy lento para reacccionar.supongo esto mejorar con el tiempo.

Great feel overall, but the only issue I have with it is that more thumb operated buttons could have been present on the stick section... This one has just 3... Ideally 4 or 5 buttons would have been better...

El T. FLIGHT HOTAS 4 es excelente, estoy muy contento de haber recibido muy rápido el producto y es espectacular jugarlo con juegos de simulación aéreos.Gracias Amazon por la atención y seriedad

The simulator is amazing . Its just like sitting inside the plane cockpit .The equipment is sturdy , smooth and easy to operate not to mention great finish and looks .One has to sure that the laptop software is compatible with the equipment software .

Wasn't the special edition I asked for, but was lightning fast with a replacement regular t-flight, works good, definitely a must for ps4 users who want to up their flight game
