The Thrustmaster TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) Throttle is an advanced sliding throttle unit designed for civilian, combat, and space simulation on Windows PC.
Utilizing the proprietary S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) system, the TWCS provides 80mm (3.15 inches) of linear travel along industrial-grade aluminum slide rails. This mechanical architecture ensures fluid power modulation and precise station-keeping. The unit integrates 14 action buttons and a multidirectional hat switch, facilitating comprehensive hands-on control for complex flight workflows.
S.M.A.R.T Technology & Motion
- Rail System: Dual aluminum slide rails provide perfectly linear motion without the "stick-slip" effect found in traditional pivot-based throttles.
- Travel Range: Features 80mm of total travel, calibrated for fine-grain engine and thrust adjustments.
- Friction Adjustment: Includes an accessible tightening screw on the base to customize the sliding resistance to the user's preference.
- Weighted Stability: Ergonomic design with a low-profile base ensures the unit remains stationary during rapid thrust transitions.
Input & Control Surface
- 14 Action Buttons: Strategically positioned for blind operation, including two 4-way switches and three 2-way buttons.
- 8-Way POV Hat: Multidirectional switch dedicated to "Point of View" camera management and menu navigation.
- Manual Rudder Toggle: Features a progressive tilting lever on the rear of the grip for yaw control.
- Rotary Mini-Stick: Includes a 2-axis mini-stick with a push button for slew control, radar targeting, or strafing in space simulators.
- Antenna Rotary: Precision wheel for antenna tilt or secondary axis adjustments.
Compatibility & Software
- Platform Support: Native plug-and-play compatibility with Windows 11 and 10.
- Ecosystem Integration: Features an RJ12 port to connect Thrustmaster TFRP (T.Flight Rudder Pedals) directly to the throttle unit.
- T.A.R.G.E.T Software: Fully compatible with the Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor to create custom mapping and macro profiles.
- Game Support: Optimized for Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, Star Citizen, and Elite Dangerous.
