Thrustmaster Viper TQS Throttle Quadrant System

While it is designed for plug-and-play use in DCS World, it functions as a standard USB controller on PC. You can map its 21 buttons and 5 axes to any flight simulation software that supports standard joystick inputs.

It works immediately as a plug-and-play device on PC. However, to create custom profiles, adjust button assignments, or fine-tune sensitivity, you will need to use the Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. software.

The system features a manual adjustment mechanism that allows you to tighten or loosen the throttle's resistance. This lets you customize the feel of the travel, whether you prefer a loose, rapid movement or a firmer, more linear resistance.

Yes, the throttle includes authentic mechanical detents for both Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner. These provide a distinct physical stop that you can feel, ensuring you know exactly when you have engaged or disengaged these critical flight modes.

It utilizes HallEffect AccuRate Technology (H.E.A.R.T.), which uses magnetic sensors rather than traditional potentiometers. This provides 16-bit resolution, ensuring high-precision inputs that do not degrade or wear out over time.

Absolutely. While it is a 1:1 replica of the U.S. Air Force Viper throttle, its multiple axes and 21 programmable buttons make it a versatile controller for any modern jet or multi-engine aircraft simulation.
