ThrustMaster F-16C VIPER HOTAS Add-On Grip (2960848)

Replacement grip for flight simulators, a full-size replica (1:1) of the control stick of the F-16 Viper jet fighter. The model was released in 2022 under an official license from the US Air Force and is aimed at experienced virtual pilots who value having the "original" feel in hand. This is not a standalone joystick, but a modular grip designed for mounting on a separately purchased Thrustmaster base and is compatible with all current bases from the manufacturer: HOTAS Cougar, HOTAS Warthog, and HOTAS Magnetic Base.

The body is made of metal, which reproduces the weight and tactile sensations of a real control stick, and the button and trigger pressure matches the prototype. The declared dimensions are 75×105×210 mm and it weighs 1 kg. The ThrustMaster F-16C VIPER HOTAS Add-On Grip has additional functional buttons and an 8-way hat switch "point of view" for viewing. Vibration feedback is not included in the design, adhering to the logic of professional HOTAS equipment.

The model is of particular interest to users of Digital Combat Simulator World, as it implements native integration through the DCS: Viper module. The grip also works correctly in X-Plane 11 and 12, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, and War Thunder on PC. The package includes the grip itself, a branded storage case, a user manual, and a warranty card. Highlights: Full-size replica, official US Air Force license, metal body, compatible with multiple bases, additional functional buttons, native integration with DCS World.
