Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS PC Flight Control System User Manual

導入

This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) flight control system. The system includes the T.16000M FCS flight stick, featuring H.e.A.R.T magnetic precision technology, and the TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle, featuring S.M.A.R.T technology. This system is designed for use with PC platforms running Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit).

製品終了view

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.

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

操作手順

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

ジョイスティックの操作

• Pitch & Roll: ピッチコントロールの場合はジョイスティックを前後に動かし、ロールコントロールの場合は左右に動かします。
• ヨー（ラダー）: Twist the joystick handle left or right to control the yaw axis (rudder).
• トリガー： The primary trigger on the front of the stick is typically used for firing weapons.
• ボタン: 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 viewまたはクイック メニュー ナビゲーション。

スロットル操作

• 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.

メンテナンス

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

• クリーニング： Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the joystick and throttle. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• 防塵： When not in use, cover the devices to prevent dust accumulation, especially in the throttle's sliding mechanism.
• ケーブル管理 Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the USB cables to prevent damage.
• ストレージ： デバイスは直射日光や極端な温度を避け、涼しく乾燥した場所に保管してください。

トラブルシューティング

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

• デバイスが認識されません:
  • Ensure USB cables are securely connected to both the devices and the PC.
  • 別のUSBポートを試してください。
  • Reinstall the latest drivers from the Thrustmaster support webサイト。
  • PCを再起動してください。
• ボタン/軸が反応しない:
  • 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.
  • 競合する他の入力デバイスが接続されていないことを確認してください。
• スロットルの動きがスムーズでない:
  • 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.
