Description
Take control of the AVA FA18 SUPER HORNET, carefully designed to perfectly meet your needs and preferences, offering you a multitude of tailor-made configurations.
A base with fully customizable control!
• Premium base designed for civil and military flight featuring a unique design, with industrial build quality and metal components precisely crafted to fit existing and future Thrustmaster grips.
• Customization without limits: it's easy to modify the 4 functional elements of the joystick in just a few minutes:
• The axis curve, via cams (2 sets)
• The resistance, via springs (3 sets)
• The damping, via a damper (1 damper included)
• The travel, via deflection masks (3 different sizes)
• Versatility: the AVA base easily adapts to meet the needs of all pilots — from fighter aircraft pilots looking for firm joystick tensioning, through to helicopter pilots maneuvering with subtlety and precision.
• Next-level piloting performance: thanks to AXY (Accurate X&Y) technology, you can precisely and independently adjust the center point, the progressivity and the resistance.
• “On-the-fly" accessibility without the need to disassemble the base, thanks to external access points allowing you to adjust the joystick's “firmness”.
• Surgical precision (16-bit resolution, with 65,635 values!) thanks to H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology™ magnetic sensors (without any dead zones) on the axes.
Native integration in simulation games including Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) and Microsoft Flight Simulator:
• Plug and Play: no configuration required, and automatically recognized in games.
Take control of the Super Hornet:
• Includes a 1:1 scale, 85% metal replica of the F/A-18C Hornet™ grip, developed with official approval of the Boeing brand.
• Realistic sensations when pressing the 19 action buttons, including one 8-direction “Point of View” hat switch.
• The grip’s offset can easily be adjusted to 15°/30° for enhanced realism and comfort, thanks to included offset adapter crafted of metal.
• Modular and scalable: an extensive ecosystem of accessories will be available (additional extensions, cams and springs, alternative dampers…).
• Versatile mounting options: standing on a desk using the included Super Hornet base plate, or mounted using attachment devices* on a desk or in a cockpit* thanks to the pre-drilled holes, including the classic pattern of holes for the HOTAS Warthog.
Compatibility
• Compatible with PC (Windows® 10, 11).
• T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor): load or create mapping profiles specific to each aircraft, to extend and store all of your favorite settings.
