  1. I would have gotten #Thrustmaster, but the people at Microcenter were trying to upsell me on there $400 flight system and I'm like... nah.

  3. A Thrustmaster apresentou novos manches e joysticks para o Microsoft Flight Simulator durante a FlightSimExpo 2026. O destaque vai para o TCA Sky Yoke, uma inovação multiplataforma para pilotos virtuais de todos os níveis ✈️

  5. But seriously I'd say the #Thrustmaster #TWCS Throttle is a *serious* pain in the ass to get to the POV pot (the joystick on the front of the HOTAS), which has always drifted for me. Not helping the little guy is that the plastic surrounds limit the pot to about half its range of motion, so pretty much any noise it generates is mad bad.

  7. Thrustmaster rudder pedal repair

    I repaired my old Thrustmaster rudder pedals. That’s the one I upgraded using an Arduino Pro Micro before (PeerTube, YouTube) to get rid of their old D-Sub connector so this device is really old and probably belongs into a museum. I doubt I’d get any replacement parts for this from the vendor nowadays.

    Their sliding beds are made of some sort of plastic and this started to become brittle over the years. When I noticed that one side was coming apart I found several more hair fractures so I had to stop playing with the pedals for a while.

    Yesterday I went with one of the sliding beds to the Swablab, our local maker space, and considered cutting and milling new parts of wood, when a fellow maker suggested to use some leftover HPL pieces for the job.

    This was far less complicated compared to what I had in mind and I went for it. After a few minutes in the workshop I ended up with two new sliding beds that I mounted today. Worked like a charm.

    I went with Liquid Moly LM47 for some lube, simply because I have a tube of that around from working on the car. That’s grease for stuff like bearings and probably overkill for the job.

    Couldn’t be happier. The pedals are back into service and feel even better than before (probably thanks to the new grease) and I avoided once more going for expensive modern replacements. I’m also probably the only one with rudder pedals with wood aesthetic now 🤓

  9. Gestern im Racing Sim Fieber gewesen. #raceroom auf @opensuse Leap 16 gezockt. Läuft mit Steams Proton Version 10 und Gamemode sehr gut.

    Dann noch #automobilista2 auf @CachyOS mit der Cachy eigenen Proton Version und ebenso Gamemode.

    Das Ganze mit Controller und zwar dem #thrustmaster eSwap Pro. Dieser wurde bei beiden Systemen sofort erkannt und konnte mit Steam ins Spiel eingebunden werden. 🎮🏎️💻

  11. Binnenkort Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, zelfs met je #Thrustmaster of Logitech flightsticks spelen? #Nvidia bevestigd de komst van een Linux-app voor #GeForce NOW.

    Dit zal vast een boost geven aan #Linux als gaming platform, iets waar Linux nog onvoldoende in uitblinkt.

  12. 10 raz próbuję skończyć złożenie stojaka na kierownice, do PS4 w freecad 1.0, ale ciągle dzieją się dziwne rzeczy w "assembly". Czas na 1.02
    Projekt wymagał kilku poprawek, ale weszły. Na oko oceniam, że będzie wszystko współgrało. Dołożenie podpórki może okaże się zbędne, a ostatnie części i tak tworzyłem na "odwal się".
    To był aktywny weekend.

  14. Today I took apart my Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS, both the stick and the throttle. Nasty jumpy drift on both stick yaw and throttle analog stick. Fixed with some alcohol cleaning.

    Thank goodness Thrustmaster designed these in a way that you can disassemble them to atoms and put it all back together without breaking anything but your warranty terms. So many people have said that these last for maybe 50 hours, but I'm well over 200 hours in already.

  15. Mein Thrustmaster T598 für die PS5 ist übrigens am Samstag gekommen. bin begeistert. #PS5 #SimRacing #Thrustmaster

  16. Found a stack of old #floppies while searching for a lost radio charger, including some #ThrustMaster software. --Wait, No! It's not what you think!

  17. 🕹️ HaHaHa, they are alive again! The old (if not the oldest) #Thrustmaster rudder pedals are back into service thanks to another #Arduino Pro Micro. Goodbye D-SUB connector 🗑️

    So simple and yet it gave me a headache because the GND wire was connected to everything but not the potentiometer inside o0

  19. This video is how I gutted my already modified old Thrustmaster F-16 FLCS joystick of my ViperPit and made it work again with the help of an Arduino Pro Micro. This flight stick (and also the other peripherals) do belong in a museum but where’s the fun in that? I modified it and now it’s a generic USB joystick that works on any recent system. I focus mostly on the 5×5 button matrix since this is the hardest part to understand. In the end are a few minutes of playing X4 Foundations with it to give it a good test run. Now it just needs some oil for the creaking 😅

  21. I took a look at the Thrustmater AVA Base. I love it but there's something that I would love to see in a future version. Check my review here: helisimmer.com/reviews/thrustm

  22. Hallo #gaming Bubble, dieses schöne #Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari 488 GTB Edition sucht einen neuen Besitzer. Kompatibel mit #PS4 und #PC.

    Update: Ist weg, der Junior von einem alten Schulfreund bekommt es!

  23. Tadaaam !

    #SteamOS (via #HoloISO) sur une config #gaming de salon d'occasion pour en faire un #SteamDeck aux stéroïdes (et surtout continuer à refuser #MsWindows). Poke @gamingonlinux

    Et ça fonctionne au poil ! Reste plus qu'à configurer les manettes (et surtout le #Thrustmaster T16000M Hotas pour #EliteDangerous)...

    Bon, il va falloir aussi diminuer un peu le #PEGI, je le crains...

  24. Picked up some stiffer springs for my #thrustmaster T-LCM pedals. I had bought the pedals 2nd hand so the springs on the left is what came with it. Pretty happy with it. Eventually I want #simjack hydraulic brakes, but that's another day. #simracing #iracing #simracingrigs

  26. #Fanatec may have encountered recent logistics and support challenges, but I received my CSL DD before the holidays without any issues. Huge upgrade over my #thrustmaster tmx, and I'm optimistic about their support. Overall, a satisfied fan due to the attractive price and upgradability #simracing

  28. Got a #ThrustMaster HOTAS combo for #Christmas and bought #AceCombat7 to get the arcade fight jet experience I was looking for. I've not played an Ace title before and have questions. Like, who are we fighting, why, what's the lore before 7? I get there's this "UN" style collaborative but I'm still unsure why they were originally needed even with the cut scenes. Also, a meteor hit and THEN they built a space elevator?! What world is this?!

  29. The T818 direct drive wheelbase from @TMThrustmaster boasts 10Nm of force feedback alongside a quick-release system compatible with all its branded rims.

  31. That's it, I had enough of #Linux! This thing doesn't work. Not even #Debian and #Fedora work!

    It's slow as hell, crashes all the time, and #FlightGear doesn't run properly on #Linux. Not to mention that my #Thrustmaster #T16000M is all over the place on Linux and I can't calibrate it.

    Today I will be installing my beloved #Windows back on my computer, the best Windows yet, #Windows11!
