Set Contains: F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-On Grip, Premium storage case, User manual and warranty information Review: Dream come true. - I got this and immediately took it apart because it’s now the shifter in my jeep. I just wish I could hook the buttons up to something Review: Authentic and durable - We use this at my company Flightdeck RogueRacing in Anaheim where we have 8 fighter jet simulators. We’ve been using Thrustmaster sticks and throttles exclusively since we opened 18 years ago. Our hardware goes through a lot of use and I could say abuse so we usually have to replace a stick or throttle every 18 months to 24 months. I’m guessing we’ve bought over 160 of these and will continue to purchase as long as we can. ## Features - Life size (1:1 scale) replica of the real F 16C Viper flight stick - 100% metal design incorporating durable, industrial grade materials for an authentic feel and maximum product lifespan - 19 action buttons in total, plus one 8 way point of view" hat switch - Native integration in the game DCS via the dedicated DCS: F 16C Viper module (game and module sold separately), and compatible in all other flight simulation games - Compatible with three joystick bases in Thrustmaster's flight simulation ecosystem: HOTAS Cougar*, HOTAS Warthog and HOTAS Magnetic Base (all sold separately; * button 19 is inactive on the HOTAS Cougar) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083F5YJ7K | | Additional Features | Ergonomic | | Best Sellers Rank | #65,187 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #174 in PC Game Flight Controls | | Brand | Thrustmaster | | Brand Name | Thrustmaster | | Button Quantity | 19 | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Windows | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Joystick | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 111 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03362932915638 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Included Components | 1 product | | Item Dimensions | 4.84 x 4.45 x 10.12 inches | | Item Weight | 1.4 kg | | Manufacturer | Thrustmaster | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2960848 | | Model Name | 2960848 | | Model Number | 2960848 | | Package Quantity | 1 | ## Images ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper Hotas Add-On Grip /2960848 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KJ7cEh49L.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper Hotas Add-On Grip /2960848 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qYx0DDr0L.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper Hotas Add-On Grip /2960848 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vjMzNUyPL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper Hotas Add-On Grip /2960848 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zjywtMhNL.jpg) ![Thrustmaster F-16C Viper Hotas Add-On Grip /2960848 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518B8ApavFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If i am wanting to use this grip as a shifter handle, how can i mount and could it be wired to control different things? (Like a radio)** A: I’m a not sure you can use it to control other things, the grip is designed to be connected to a PC and it requires Thrustmaster’s proprietary software (T.A.R.G.E.T.) to in order to operate. **Q: Why does this look like the warthog joystick, unless the usaf uses the same joystick?** A: Both the A10 and F16 use the same grip IRL. Interestingly, the F-117 Stealth Fighter also uses this same grip IRL. **Q: Can you use it for a car gear shifter?** A: I doubt it without serious modifications, the bottom has a proprietary electrical connector surrounded by a threaded collar that is completely different to an automotive threaded shifter shaft. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dream come true. *by E***S on December 31, 2024* I got this and immediately took it apart because it’s now the shifter in my jeep.

We’ve been using Thrustmaster sticks and throttles exclusively since we opened 18 years ago. Our hardware goes through a lot of use and I could say abuse so we usually have to replace a stick or throttle every 18 months to 24 months.

The pressing and pulling of inputs adds all the realism to the feel and power of actually controlling simulations requiring realism. A must for all budding pilots of the military genre.
