Description

Shipping & Returns

The Thrustmaster F/A-18C Hornet™ Grip Add-On is an officially licensed 1:1 scale replica of the U.S. Navy’s multirole fighter flight stick, engineered for high-fidelity combat simulation on Windows PC.

Constructed from 100% industrial-grade metal, this grip is designed to interface with existing Thrustmaster joystick bases. It replicates the specific ergonomics and switch resistance levels used in the real F/A-18C Hornet cockpit. With 19 action buttons and a 2-stage trigger, it facilitates tactical weapon management, sensor slewing, and carrier-based operations without requiring keyboard interaction.

1:1 Scale Mechanical Architecture

Metal Build Quality: Full-metal chassis provides high mechanical durability and a weight profile that mirrors actual naval flight hardware.
Authentic Switch Pressure: Every hat, button, and trigger is calibrated to match the specific tactile force required in a real F/A-18C cockpit.
Two-Stage Trigger: Features a realistic dual-stage metal trigger for independent gun and missile deployment stages.
Ergonomic Contour: Sculpted to support proper hand placement for sustained G-load simulation and precise stick deflection.

Tactical Control Interface

19 Action Buttons: A comprehensive array of inputs for complete avionics management:
- 1 x 8-way "Point of View" (POV) hat switch.
- 2 x 8-way hat switches.
- 1 x 4-way hat switch with integrated push button.
- 1 x Dual-stage metal trigger.
- 3 x Push buttons (including pinkie switch).
Sensor Management: Specifically laid out for realistic TDC (Target Designation Control) slewing and radar mode cycling.
Braille-Style Identification: Physical markings on buttons facilitate tactile recognition during VR (Virtual Reality) simulation.

Base Compatibility & Software

The F/A-18C Hornet™ Grip is a modular component and requires a compatible base (sold separately):

Compatible Bases: HOTAS Warthog Base, HOTAS Cougar Base, and AVA Base.
DCS World Integration: Optimized for the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet module with automatic mapping and authentic control workflows.
T.A.R.G.E.T Software: Fully compatible with the Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor for creating advanced macros and custom deadzone profiles.
