Бүтээгдэхүүн дууссанview

The Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS system is comprised of two main components: the T.16000M FCS Joystick and the TWCS Throttle. Each component offers a range of controls for precise flight simulation.

T.16000M FCS Joystick

The joystick features advanced precision with 3D (Hall Effect) magnetic sensors, ensuring accurate control. It includes a total of 16 action buttons and 4 independent axes.

• Нарийвчлал: H.e.A.R.T (Hall Effect Accurate Technology) magnetic sensors for enhanced accuracy.
• Axes: 4 independent axes, including a twist rudder controlled by rotating the stick.
• Товчлуур: 16 action buttons with braille-style physical identification.
• POV Hat: One 8-way Point of View (POV) hat switch.

Ашиглалтын заавар

This section outlines the basic operation of the T16000M FCS HOTAS components.

Тоглоомын ажиллагаа

• Pitch & Roll: Move the joystick forward/backward for pitch control and left/right for roll control.
• Yaw (Rudder): Twist the joystick handle left or right to control the yaw axis (rudder).
• Өдөөгч: The primary trigger on the front of the stick is typically used for firing weapons.
• Товчлуур: Utilize the 16 programmable action buttons for various in-game functions such as gear, flaps, targeting, etc.
• POV Hat: The 8-way POV hat switch is commonly used for camera views or quick menu navigation.

Тохируулагчийн ажиллагаа

• Thrust Control: Slide the main throttle lever forward and backward to adjust engine thrust. The S.M.A.R.T technology ensures smooth and precise movement.
• Mini-Stick: The push mini-stick on the throttle can be used for precise camera control or strafing in space simulations.
• Switches & Buttons: The 14 action buttons, including 4-way switches and a slider, can be assigned to functions like speed brakes, landing gear, weapon selection, or communication.

Засвар үйлчилгээ

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your flight control system.

• Цэвэрлэгээ: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the joystick and throttle. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Тоос хамгаалах: When not in use, cover the devices to prevent dust accumulation, especially in the throttle's sliding mechanism.
• Кабелийн менежмент: Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the USB cables to prevent damage.
• Хадгалах: Төхөөрөмжүүдийг нарны шууд тусгал, хэт температураас хол, сэрүүн, хуурай газар хадгална.

Алдааг олж засварлах

If you encounter issues with your Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS, refer to the following common solutions.

• Төхөөрөмжийг танихгүй байна:
  • Ensure USB cables are securely connected to both the devices and the PC.
  • Өөр USB портоор оролдоно уу.
  • Reinstall the latest drivers from the Thrustmaster support webсайт.
  • Компьютерээ дахин эхлүүлнэ үү.
• Buttons/Axes Not Responding:
  • Check in your game's control settings if the buttons/axes are correctly mapped.
  • Calibrate the devices through Windows Game Controller settings or Thrustmaster's TARGET software.
  • Бусад зөрчилтэй оролтын төхөөрөмжүүд холбогдоогүй эсэхийг шалгаарай.
• Throttle Movement Not Smooth:
  • Dust or debris might be in the sliding mechanism. Gently clean the throttle track.
  • Consider applying a small amount of non-conductive, plastic-safe lubricant (e.g., Nyogel 767A) to the rails if the issue persists and you are comfortable with advanced maintenance.
