Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 5 Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition Launches

Thrustmaster releases the T.Flight Hotas 5 Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition as a dedicated flight control system for PC and PlayStation consoles. The peripheral arrives with official licensing from Microsoft, carrying the game logo in white, blue, and black across its housing. The T.Flight Hotas 5 Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition provides flight controllers designed to meet the specific control demands of the simulation.

Officially licensed flight controller for PC and PlayStation with detachable throttle

The product pairs a joystick with a detachable throttle unit to create a complete HOTAS setup. The base design includes a weighted foundation that keeps the system stable on desks or laps during flight sessions. The detachable throttle allows users to free up desk space or reposition the joystick for easier transport.

Specifications

• Platform Support: PS5, PS4, PC (Windows 10/11)
• Buttons & Triggers: 14 action buttons, 1 rapid-fire trigger, 1 multidirectional hat switch, 5 axes (including Z-axis), 16-bit precision
• Throttle & Base: Detachable throttle with weighted base
• Rudder Control: Rotating flight stick grip (Z-axis) or progressive tilting lever
• Compatibility: Compatible with Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals system (S.M.A.R.T. technology)

Thrustmaster equips the joystick with 14 action buttons, one rapid-fire trigger, and a multidirectional hat switch for cockpit controls. The control surface supports five axes of movement including the Z-axis, delivering 16-bit precision across all inputs. Rudder functions activate either by rotating the flight stick grip or using a separate progressive tilting lever attached to the throttle.

The system works on PS5, PS4, and Windows 10 or 11 computers without requiring extra drivers for basic operation. Thrustmaster also includes S.M.A.R.T. compatibility so owners can add TFRP rudder pedals later if they want expanded control. S.M.A.R.T. (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology enables compatible rudder pedals to connect securely to the joystick via a dedicated mounting system.

The package costs 109.99 USD in North America and ships globally starting June 12. European buyers pay 99.99 EUR while UK customers face a price of 89.99 GBP for the same hardware configuration.

This launch aligns with ongoing Microsoft Flight Simulator updates that continue to drive demand for advanced flight control peripherals. Thrustmaster continues to expand its flight simulation range with products tailored for Microsoft Flight Simulator across PC and console platforms.
