The Thrustmaster Viper Control Panel is an officially licensed auxiliary mission system engineered to replicate the cockpit interface of the U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper for Windows PC.
Designed as a standalone unit or as a modular addition to the Viper TQS, this panel provides 64 programmable action buttons and specialized mechanical toggles. It features a backlit display with adjustable intensity, a realistic landing gear lever with an integrated LED indicator, and industrial-grade switches for Master Arm, Laser, and Fuel management. This hardware eliminates the need for keyboard-based avionics control in high-fidelity combat environments.
Viper Cockpit Controls & Layout
- Landing Gear Actuator: A dedicated, large-scale lever with mechanical detents and a status LED to manage aircraft configuration during takeoff and landing.
- Industrial Toggle Switches: Metal-tipped switches designed for Master Arm and avionics power-up sequences, mirroring the tactile resistance of real military hardware.
- Rotary Encoders: Precision knobs for managing cockpit lighting, altimeter settings, and auxiliary sensor calibration.
- Backlit Interface: Features integrated panel lighting that can be synchronized or adjusted for visibility in night-ops simulation.
Action Buttons & Mapping
- 64 Action Buttons: Provides a massive array of mapping possibilities to cover complex aircraft procedures and weapon system cycling.
- Tactile Feedback: Each button is calibrated with a specific actuation force to provide confirmation of input during high-stress maneuvers.
- Mode Selection: Dedicated switches for immediate management of Master Arm, Laser Arm, and Fuel flow systems.
- Chaff & Flare: Tactile buttons positioned for rapid countermeasure deployment without looking away from the primary flight display.
System Compatibility & Modular Setup
- Modular Integration: Specifically designed to mount directly onto the Thrustmaster Viper TQS for a full 1:1 scale F-16 mission suite.
- PC System: Native plug-and-play support for Windows 10 and 11 via USB connection.
- DCS World Optimized: Pre-calibrated for the DCS: F-16C Viper module, supporting authentic cold-start, navigation, and combat workflows.
- T.A.R.G.E.T Software: Compatible with Thrustmaster's advanced programming suite to create custom macro sequences and LED lighting profiles.
