  • Works great and looks and feels like the actual throttle.
Style: Viper Mission Pack
When you rest your hand on the throttle it just fits. All the switches are right there. I worked on the F-16 for many years and it just feels right in your hand. The lower assembly has a lot of switches and knobs all are programable. The gear handle is handy especially with VR. I may print an extension for the zoom lever to make it easier to move, it’s a bit short. There’s a lot more to talk about than I will comment on here. It is an investment and I personally think it’s worth it. Time will tell how well it holds up. It’s not quite the beast the Warthog is but then again it’s for and entirely different aircraft. . ... show more

  • Works Great
Style: Viper Mission Pack
Not sure what people are talking about - Buttons work out of the box in DCS and there's not such thing as industry standard mounting holes? Did you just imagine that the one other throttle you owned was going to be how every throttle mounted? Anyways - All-in-all very ergonomic. If I had to fault it on anything, the Chaff/Flare button is super mushy and almost feels gross to press. Otherwise, 5/5. ... show more

  • Works great with Falcon BMS and I absolutely love it
Style: Viper Mission Pack
After flying the F-16 in Falcon BMS with the Warthog throttle for 7 years, I finally was able to get a throttle based on the real F-16 one! It took me a day to get used to it, but by the next day, I absolutely loved it. I needed to increase the friction to max, but then I was able to control my airspeed much better. The feel of the stick is amazing, all of the buttons, toggles and dials feel great. Is it worth $500, I don't know, I say it is a little bit over priced, and $400 would be more fair, especially when compared to WinWing. From what others tell me, this throttle is a bit better than WinWings, but WinWings Orion 2 has many more buttons and their F-16 throttle does have a longer movement, which may make it easier to maintain precise air speed. However, I am able to maintain precise airspeed after maxing out the friction, so I have no complaints there. Other things to keep in mind. It needs to be mapped in Falcon BMS, there is a video on you tube going through all of it, but it does take time. Also, the thrustmaster target software is needed to get the landing and warning lights on the panel to work correctly, and I have been having some trouble with that. This is also a big boy, and it needs a strong mount. The Thrustmaster Flying Clamp is working better than I though, but I am going to get a Monster Tech desk mount. I think that this throttle is better than WinWings, and is the best throttle for flying the F-16 in Falcon BMS, and probably in DCS too, though I have yet to really try DCS. If you want realism, and are willing to spend for it, I think this is a must buy. ... show more

  • Read manual
Style: Viper Mission Pack
Knobs are cheap plastic but work fine. Make sure you turn on “Virtual Switches” as described in manual, other wise half the keybinds won’t work. Only complaint is the hole pattern doesn’t match with cockpits, but I used stick on Velcro and it stays put.

  • ***NOTE TO MSFS USERS WITH WINDOWS 11***
Style: Viper Panel
The media could not be loaded. DUE TO WONDOWS 11 CORE SECURITY THE DRIVERS FOR THRUSTMASTER T.A.R.G.E.T. ARE NOT AS OF YET COMPLIANT. IF YOU ARE USING THE T.A.R.G.E.T SOFTWARE WITH YOUR CONTROLLERS, WINDOWS 11 WILL BLOCK KEY DRIVERS FOR THE VIPER PANEL. WHAT'S AFFECTED MOST IS THE LIGHTING CONTROL (LANDING GEAR /PUSH BUTTON BACK LIGHTING ) FOR MSFS. UPON SETUP FOR MSFS YOU MAY NOTICE THAT YOUR LANDING GEAR WILL NOT EXTEND. I'VE MADE A VIDEO TO HELP MAP IN YOUR LANDING GEAR AND LANDING LIGHTS SO THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL. OVERALL BUILD QUALITY AND FUNCTIONALITY ARE GREAT.....HOWEVER, THE CONFLICT WITH THE DRIVERS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE T.A.R.G.E.T. SOFTWARE DOESN'T MAKE IT 100% FUNCTIONAL. (I CAN'T ATTEST TO THE FUNCTIONALITY IN DCS) HOPEFULLY THERE'S AN UPDATE SOON TO PATCH THESE ISSUES. UNTIL THEN I'LL KEEP THIS AT 3 STARS. ... show more

  • Great for the F16
Style: Viper Mission Pack
I wanted the TQS as I've been flying the F16 pretty much exclusively in DCS. It's great for that purpose, better than using the TM Warthog (which is an incredibly good device for all others). The throttle moves smoothly & the buttons all work well. The ergonomics are excellent. Compared to the TM Warthog, in terms of quality of build, I have to say the TQS does not feel as well made. It's lighter & has more plastic in it. A couple of the buttons that you turn (counter measures) feel excessively stiff, but they do work. I haven't been able to get the LED lights for the gear to work yet (submitted to TM support), but everything else is good. Be sure to activate the virtual buttons through the TM software that you download, otherwise, it won't take advantage of all of its potential. I have it sitting on a desk top, which I found that it tends to move a bit, which is annoying. I fixed this by using some strong 3M adhesive strips (rather like Velcro). Works fine at keeping it stable, otherwise you may want to consider a mounting option. I don't have space for that. Is the TQS worth the steep price? If you want to fly other planes in DCS, I'd suggest using the TM Warthog. However, if the F16 is "your plane of choice," I've found it to be worth it. Just a little disappointed in the build quality at this price point. Update: After a few weeks, still feel the same. However, TM support has not provided much help re the LED lights. While it's a minor issue, it really should be "plug & play" for this price. They just referred me to the TM T.A.R.G.E.T software, which is not exactly user friendly. I'm not a computer expert, but I'm also not completely ignorant w/them. After several attempts to get the LED's to work, I've given up. TM SHOULD have a video available to show how to do it, or better yet, have them work from the beginning. There are quite a few others I've seen online w/the same issue. ... show more
