The Thrustmaster HOTAS Magnetic Base is a standalone, industrial-grade joystick foundation engineered for high-fidelity flight and combat simulation on Windows PC. Designed to serve as the mechanical core of a custom flight setup, the base utilizes H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology). By employing 3D magnetic sensors, it delivers 16-bit resolution (65,536 x 65,536 values) for friction-free precision across the pitch and roll axes. The unit features a weighted, detachable metal plate and a modular neck design compatible with the full range of Thrustmaster flight grip add-ons. H.E.A.R.T Sensor Architecture Frictionless Operation: 3D Hall Effect (Magnetic) sensors eliminate mechanical potentiometers, ensuring precision that does not degrade over time due to wear. High Resolution: Provides 65,536 distinct values on both the X and Y axes, enabling surgical control for aerial refueling and precision targeting. Zero Dead Zones: Advanced magnetic sensing technology ensures an immediate and linear response to any stick deflection. Grip Compatibility & Ecosystem The HOTAS Magnetic Base is a modular unit designed to interface with the following Thrustmaster grips (sold separately): HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick Grip F/A-18C Hornet™ Flight Stick Grip F-16C Viper™ HOTAS Grip AVA Series Grips Mechanical Build & Installation All-Metal Construction: Internal mechanics and external housing are composed of die-cast metal for maximum structural integrity. Weighted Stability: Includes a heavy, detachable metal plate (weighing over 4.5 lbs / 2 kg) for desktop use. Cockpit Mounting: The base can be removed from the plate for direct installation into flight sim-pits using integrated screw threads. Suspension System: Features a high-tension helical spring system providing consistent, fluid resistance and a reliable return-to-center motion. System Integration & Software OS Support: Native plug-and-play support for Windows 10 and 11 via USB connection. T.A.R.G.E.T Suite: Fully compatible with the Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor to create custom mapping and axis curves. Simulation Support: Optimized for high-fidelity platforms including DCS World, IL-2 Sturmovik, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
