Thurstmaster T.Flight Stick X

[[aTm] pickledmidget]

i am a novice to flight sim games. so didnt want to sink big money into a setup just becasue i am a casual gamer. play here and there just to relax.

i picked up this Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X tonight and i must say it works really good. i am very pleased with it. its got 12 buttons, throttle control. rudder twist in the handle. very nice.

anyone else have this or have any reviews on it?

I'm using that, I have Saitek yoke, pedals, and panels but according to most they are not fully supported yet, so going to stick with the Thrustmaster X for now. One suggestion, I went into the sensitivies and dropped the pitch, roll, and yaw down from default -50% to -75%, seems about right to me.

Hi I have this controller (Thustmaster T flight Hotas X) but it is connected and the game doesn´t recognize it.. Any idea how can I solve it? The drivers are installed and updated

Same problem here, the T.Flight works ok woth other games (e. g. Elite Dangerous) but Flight Simulator does not recognize it...

Quick tip, you can have more than 12 buttons by using a button as a shift key then entering another, for instance button 1 followed by another will give a new input.

Strange. It's pretty much plug and play. Might want to post over is the MS FS2020 sights under Periphials to see if anyone has any luck with that. Also remember, if you have anything else hooked up, it might interfere or show both. Under the Controls in FS2020, there are arrows up top that can be a bit deceptive, your controller might be there but you might be looking at/defaulted to something else or need to arrow/scroll to see it.

Good luck

Make sure the stick is not in PS3 mode. The game refused to detect mine until I switched it over.

It´s in PC mode bro, I check it and switch it in one and in another mode a thousand times

I have this HOTAS and it works great for me. It's definitely not the most precise stick, although you can adjust the dead zone and sensitivity in game. I found setting a 2% dead zone and 50% sensitivity helped a lot. Also, the large detent in the middle of the throttle travel is annoying, but otherwise it works well with all my flying games and has more than enough buttons. I just wish it had a slider or scroll wheel to map to trim controls to for extra accuracy. Using the paddle on the thrust control isn't the most accurate.

In its price range, it's probably the best you'll find though. You'll have to pay significantly more to get something better.

I solved it! I don´t know how to explain the solution in english cause it´s not my main language, but the problem was an option I have selected previously in Steam>Parameters>Controls. In spanish it´s "Configuración de mando genérico". I have selected that option previously because Skater XL didn´t recognize my xBox controller untill I selected that option. But that same option don´t allow MFS2020 to recognice my Hotas. I "unsellected" it and after that it was only plug and play :)

Steam>Parameters>Controllers> you have to unselect the generic controller option or some like that, don´t know how is the option in english cause I have Steam configured in Spanish. I had the same problem because previously I have played a game (Skater XL) that didn´t recognize my xbox controller untill I change that. But it doesn´t allow MFS2020 to recognize the Hotas

I have the T flight X too and MSFS did apply key bindings, but all the button numbers were wrong. If I do this controller setting thing, does that mean the game properly recognises the stick?

No. you don´t need to set the buttons on steam. Doesn´t matter if you see them wrong there. Just dissable the option for generic joystick and the game will recognize your hotas and it will be well configured automatically. Then you can change some controlls in game if it makes you feel more confortable

I would recommend screwing the rotational axis tight and disabling it. By default I think it maps to the rudder (because it is a yawing motion) and it will just make a mess of your aircraft stability or make it very confusing when you're getting used to it (when you want to basically have only one input applied at the same time, or at most maybe two in turns for roll and pitch - later roll, pitch and rudder for banking turns).

Unless you want to try using it with a shift-modifier only (as suggested above), but it would probably still interfere with your flight.

I map the rudder to the rocker instead. Trim on trigger and the opposite button is also a nice combo.
