Overview

The Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Flight Pack is a complete flight control system that includes a joystick, throttle, and rudder pedals. Designed for PC flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, and IL-2 Sturmovik, this set delivers a realistic and precise flying experience. The manufacturer is Thrustmaster (France), and this genuine Japanese import is sold and fulfilled by Amazon.co.jp (ASIN: B01HZ2APKU).

Key Features

  • The T16000M FCS joystick uses HEART HallEffect AccuRate technology. Magnetic Hall effect sensors eliminate physical contact, ensuring long-lasting precision without wear.
  • The TWCS Throttle features a smooth, adjustable resistance slide mechanism. It includes a mini-stick for thumb control, multiple buttons, and hat switches for versatile input.
  • The TFRP Rudder Pedals offer independent toe brake and rudder control. The stable floor design keeps them firmly in place during intense maneuvers.
  • All devices connect via USB and are plug-and-play on Windows 10/11 — no additional drivers required.
  • The joystick grip is ambidextrous and can be swapped for left-handed use, making it accessible to all users.

Compatibility Guide

  • Supported OS: Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit). macOS and Linux are not officially supported.
  • Connection: Each device uses a USB Type-A port. You will need three free USB ports.
  • Flight sim compatibility: Works with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, DCS World, X-Plane 12, IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles, War Thunder (Simulator mode), and many other titles.
  • The throttle is designed for desktop use, but its rubber feet provide good grip even during aggressive inputs.

Ideal Setup

  • Perfect for flight sim enthusiasts looking to upgrade from a basic joystick to a full control system.
  • Especially suited for combat flight sims like DCS World and IL-2, where precise control is critical.
  • Great for those who want a complete set (stick, throttle, pedals) in one purchase, saving both time and money compared to buying separately.

Upgrade Considerations

  • The joystick has 16 buttons (4 on the base), which is fewer than high-end models. For complex key bindings, consider using voice control software like VoiceAttack or an additional button box.
  • The throttle slide mechanism may become stiff over time as the factory grease degrades. Periodic re-greasing is recommended for smooth operation.
  • The rudder pedals are made of plastic — they are durable enough for regular use, but if you prefer a more rigid metal construction, consider the Thrustmaster T-Pendular Rudder.
  • This set is wired only; no wireless option is available. Plan your cable management accordingly.
