Expecting restock
Wired aviation joystick of expert level, released in 2025 under official Boeing license, is an exact replica of the F/A-18C Hornet fighter's control stick at a 1:1 scale. The device is geared towards *military aviation enthusiasts* and users willing to invest in a *truly flexible and precise* control system. The key distinction from simpler joysticks is the AVA (Advanced Versatile Aviation) base, offering extensive *physical customization options*: users can change axis curves, select spring resistance, adjust the deflection with different sized masks, and set damping. Some adjustments can be made *on-the-fly*, without disassembling the body. *Accuracy in positioning* is ensured by a pair of independent AXY sensors, allowing separate adjustment of the central point, progressiveness, and re...sistance on each axis, along with the proprietary H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology based on the Hall effect. The ThrustMaster AVA FA18 Super Hornet Flight Stick features 19 buttons, including a two-stage trigger and an 8-way viewpoint switch. The handle is made of metal, and the set includes a metal plate for desktop mounting and an offset adapter, enabling the stick to be tilted by 15° or 30° for enhanced realism. The device weighs nearly 3.5 kg, which speaks to the robustness of its construction. Compatibility is limited to Windows PCs, and through the free T.A.R.G.E.T software, multiple Thrustmaster controllers can be combined into a single profile.
