Thrustmaster F/A-18C Hornet™ Grip Add-On

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.
