GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
Adjustable handle resistance
Depending on your gaming style, you may prefer to have an ultra-sensitive joystick, which
responds to the slightest movement, or a firmer joystick, which offers a certain resistance
when you use it.
Your joystick’s handle resistance is adjustable, in order to adapt to all gamers. To adjust it,
use the handle resistance adjustment dial (9) located under your joystick’s base.
Throttle
The throttle is in the form of a thumb slider (6), easily accessible with your left hand resting
on the base of your joystick.
Rudder function
Your joystick features a rudder function, which in a plane corresponds to the pedals used by
the pilot to turn the steering, allowing the plane to pivot around its vertical axis (therefore
making the plane turn left or right). This rudder function is accessible on your joystick by
rotating the handle to the left or right.
If you are not using the rudder function in your games (or if you have programmed it onto
action buttons), you can disable handle rotation thanks to the locking screw (5) located on
the handle’s base.
Use a flat head screwdriver to change the screw’s position and thus lock/unlock the rudder
function.
Multidirectional “Point Of View” hat-switch
Your joystick features a “Point Of View” hat-switch (3) which, as its name indicates, allows
you (in games which permit) to instantly view everything that’s going on around your plane.
To do so, simply go to your game’s configuration menu and program the different views (rear
view, left view, right view, and also external views) onto the directions of the “Point Of View”
hat-switch.
Of course, you can also use the “Point Of View” hat-switch for other functions instead (firing,
etc.).
6/12
2 PROGRAMMING MODES
The PRESET button (8) and LED (7) allow you to view the type of programming selected:
AUTOMATIC (preprogrammed) or MANUAL (programmed by yourself).
A single press of this button will allow you to switch from one programming mode to the
other, even during the course of a game.
• AUTOMATIC PRESET: RED LED
This represents the default programming: the axes, positions of the buttons and of the hatswitch are preprogrammed.
PLEASE REFER TO THE “AUTOMATIC PRESET” CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS.
• MANUAL PRESET: GREEN LED
This represents your own person programming:
— The buttons, axes and the hat-switch can be switched between themselves.
— You can modify the programming to suit your taste and whenever you like.
— Programming is automatically saved in your joystick (even when it is disconnected).
— When your “MANUAL PRESET” is blank, it is identical to the “AUTOMATIC PRESET”.
PROGRAMMING / MAPPING
You can program your joystick using the MAPPING button.
Attention: This button is not located in the same position on PC and PS3 (please refer to
• Examples of possible applications:
• Exception:
the diagrams):
— On PC: Directly press the button in question.
— On PS3: Simultaneously press START (ST) + SELECT (SE).
— Switching the positions of buttons.
— Switching axes between themselves = directions of the handle, of the throttle or of the
rudder (In this case, you must map the 2 directions of the first axis to those of the
second.)
— Switching the 2 directions of the same axis.
— Switching buttons with a direction of an axis or of the hat-switch.
On PlayStation® 3, the START (ST) and SELECT (SE) buttons also correspond to the
MAPPING button (and therefore may not be reprogrammed).

À LA DÉCOUVERTE DE VOTRE JOYSTICK
Résistance du manche ajustable
Selon votre façon de jouer, vous voudrez un joystick ultra-sensible, qui réponde à la moindre
impulsion, ou au contraire un joystick plus dur, qui présente une certaine résistance lorsque
vous le manipulez.
La résistance du manche de votre Joystick est ajustable pour s’adapter à tous les joueurs.
Utilisez pour cela la molette de réglage de la résistance (9) située sous la base de votre
joystick.
Manette des gaz
La manette des gaz est représentée sous la forme d’une molette (6), facilement accessible
avec la main gauche reposant sur la base de votre Joystick.
Fonction Palonnier
Votre Joystick dispose d’une fonction palonnier, qui correspond dans un avion aux pédales
actionnées par le pilote pour faire braquer la gouverne de direction, qui permet de faire
pivoter l’avion autour de son axe vertical (entraînant ainsi un virage de l’avion vers la gauche
ou la droite). Cette fonction palonnier est accessible sur votre joystick par rotation du
manche vers la gauche ou la droite.
Si vous n’utilisez pas la fonction palonnier dans vos jeux (ou que vous l’avez programmée
sur des boutons d’action), vous pouvez désactiver la rotation du manche grâce à la vis de
blocage (5) située à la base du manche.
Utilisez un tournevis à tête plate pour modifier sa position et ainsi verrouiller/déverrouiller la
fonction palonnier.
Croix Multidirectionnelle « Point de vue »
Votre Joystick est doté d’une Croix Point de vue (3) qui, comme son nom l’indique, vous
permettra (dans les jeux le permettant) de surveiller instantanément tout ce qui se passe
autour de votre avion. Il vous suffit pour cela, depuis le menu de configuration de votre jeu,
de programmer les différentes vues (vue arrière, vue sur la gauche, vue sur la droite, mais
aussi vues externes) sur les directions de la croix Point de vue.
Vous pouvez bien entendu réserver la Croix Point de vue à d’autres utilisations (tir, etc.).

2 MODES DE PROGRAMMATION
Le bouton PRESET (8) et la Led Lumineuse (7) vous permettent de visualiser le type de
programmation choisi : AUTOMATIQUE (préprogrammé) ou MANUEL (programmé par
vous-même).
Une simple pression sur ce bouton vous permettra (même en cours de jeu) de basculer
d’une programmation à l’autre.
• PRESET AUTOMATIQUE : Led ROUGE
Il s’agit ici de la programmation par défaut : les axes, la position des boutons et de la croix
sont préprogrammés
REPORTEZ-VOUS AUX SCHEMAS « CONFIGURATION DU PRESET AUTOMATIQUE ».
• PRESET MANUEL : Led VERTE
Il s’agit ici de vos programmations personnelles :
— Les boutons, les axes et la croix peuvent être inversés entre eux.
— Vous pouvez modifier à votre convenance et à volonté ces programmations.
— Elles sont automatiquement sauvegardées à l’intérieur de votre Joystick (même
débranché).
— Lorsque que votre «PRESET MANUEL» est vierge, il est alors identique au «PRESET
AUTOMATIQUE».
PROGRAMMATION / MAPPING
Vos programmations s’effectuent à l’aide du bouton MAPPING.
Attention : Sur PC ou sur PS3, ce bouton n’a pas le même emplacement
• Exemples d’applications possibles :
• Exception :
(reportez vous aux schémas) :
— Sur PC : appuyez directement sur le bouton concerné
— Sur PS3 : appuyez simultanément sur START (ST) + SELECT (SE)
— Inverser la position des boutons
— Inverser des axes entre eux = directions du manche, de la manette des gaz ou du
palonnier (Dans ce cas, vous devez basculer les 2 directions du 1er axe vers le
second.)
— Inverser les 2 directions du même axe
— Inverser des boutons avec la direction d’un axe ou de la croix
Sur PlayStation® 3, les boutons START(ST) et SELECT(SE) correspondent également
au bouton MAPPING (et ne peuvent donc pas être reprogrammés)

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
Adjustable handle resistance
Depending on your gaming style, you may prefer to have an ultra—sensitive joystick, which
responds to the slightest movement, or a firmer joystick, which offers a certain resistance
when you use it.
Your joystick’s handle resistance is adjustable, in order to adapt to all gamers. To adjust it,
use the handle resistance adjustment dial (9) located under your joystick’s base.
Throttle
The throttle is in the form of a thumb slider (6), easily accessible with your left hand resting
on the base of your joystick.
Rudder function
Your joystick features a rudder function, which in a plane corresponds to the pedals used by
the pilot to turn the steering, allowing the plane to pivot around its vertical axis (therefore
making the plane turn left or right). This rudder function is accessible on your joystick by
rotating the handle to the left or right.
If you are not using the rudder function in your games (or if you have programmed it onto
action buttons), you can disable handle rotation thanks to the locking screw (5) located on
the handle’s base.
Use a flat head screwdriver to change the screw’s position and thus lock/unlock the rudder
function.
Multidirectional “Point Of View” hat—switch
Your joystick features a “Point Of View” hat—switch (3) which, as its name indicates, allows
you (in games which permit) to instantly view everything that’s going on around your plane.
To do so, simply go to your game’s configuration menu and program the different views (rear
view, left view, right view, and also external views) onto the directions of the “Point Of View”
hat—switch.
Of course, you can also use the “Point Of View” hat—switch for other functions instead (firing,
etc.).
7/12
2 PROGRAMMING MODES
The PRESET button (8) and LED (7) allow you to view the type of programming selected:
AUTOMATIC (preprogrammed) or MANUAL (programmed by yourself).
A single press of this button will allow you to switch from one programming mode to the
other, even during the course of a game.
• AUTOMATIC PRESET: RED LED
This represents the default programming: the axes, positions of the buttons and of the hat—
switch are preprogrammed.
PLEASE REFER TO THE “AUTOMATIC PRESET” CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS.
• MANUAL PRESET: GREEN LED
This represents your own person programming:
— The buttons, axes and the hat—switch can be switched between themselves.
— You can modify the programming to suit your taste and whenever you like.
— Programming is automatically saved in your joystick (even when it is disconnected).
— When your “MANUAL PRESET” is blank, it is identical to the “AUTOMATIC PRESET”.
PROGRAMMING / MAPPING
You can program your joystick using the MAPPING button.
Attention: This button is not located in the same position on PC and PS3 (please refer to
the diagrams):
— On PC: Directly press the button in question.
— On PS3: Simultaneously press START (ST) + SELECT (SE).
• Examples of possible applications:
— Switching the positions of buttons.
— Switching axes between themselves = directions of the handle, of the throttle or of the
rudder (In this case, you must map the 2 directions of the first axis to those of the
second.)
— Switching the 2 directions of the same axis.
— Switching buttons with a direction of an axis or of the hat—switch.
• Exception:
On PlayStation®3, the START (ST) and SELECT (SE) buttons also correspond to the
MAPPING button (and therefore may not be reprogrammed).

A LA DECOUVERTE DE VOTRE JOYSTICK
Résistance du manche ajustable
Selon votre façon de jouer, vous voudrez un joystick ultra—sensible, qui réponde à la moindre
impulsion, ou au contraire un joystick plus dur, qui présente une certaine résistance lorsque
vous le manipulez.
La résistance du manche de votre Joystick est ajustable pour s’adapter à tous les joueurs.
Utilisez pour cela la molette de réglage de la résistance (9) située sous la base de votre
joystick.
Manette des gaz
La manette des gaz est représentée sous la forme d’une molette (6), facilement accessible
avec la main gauche reposant sur la base de votre Joystick.
Fonction Palonnier
Votre Joystick dispose d’une fonction palonnier, qui correspond dans un avion aux pédales
actionnées par le pilote pour faire braquer la gouverne de direction, qui permet de faire
pivoter l’avion autour de son axe vertical (entraînant ainsi un virage de l’avion vers la gauche
ou la droite). Cette fonction palonnier est accessible sur votre joystick par rotation du
manche vers la gauche ou la droite.
Si vous n’utilisez pas la fonction palonnier dans vos jeux (ou que vous l’avez programmée
sur des boutons d’action), vous pouvez désactiver la rotation du manche grâce à la vis de
blocage (5) située à la base du manche.
Utilisez un tournevis à tête plate pour modifier sa position et ainsi verrouiller/déverrouiller la
fonction palonnier.
Croix Multidirectionnelle « Point de vue »
Votre Joystick est doté d’une Croix Point de vue (3) qui, comme son nom l’indique, vous
permettra (dans les jeux le permettant) de surveiller instantanément tout ce qui se passe
autour de votre avion. Il vous suffit pour cela, depuis le menu de configuration de votre jeu,
de programmer les différentes vues (vue arrière, vue sur la gauche, vue sur la droite, mais
aussi vues externes) sur les directions de la croix Point de vue.
Vous pouvez bien entendu réserver la Croix Point de vue à d’autres utilisations (tir, etc.).
7/12
2 MODES DE PROGRAMMATION
Le bouton PRESET (8) et la Led Lumineuse (7) vous permettent de visualiser le type de
programmation choisi : AUTOMATIQUE (préprogrammé) ou MANUEL (programmé par
vous—même).
Une simple pression sur ce bouton vous permettra (même en cours de jeu) de basculer
d’une programmation à l’autre.
• PRESET AUTOMATIQUE : Led ROUGE
Il s’agit ici de la programmation par défaut : les axes, la position des boutons et de la croix
sont préprogrammés
REPORTEZ—VOUS AUX SCHEMAS « CONFIGURATION DU PRESET AUTOMATIQUE ».
• PRESET MANUEL : Led VERTE
Il s’agit ici de vos programmations personnelles :
— Les boutons, les axes et la croix peuvent être inversés entre eux.
— Vous pouvez modifier à votre convenance et à volonté ces programmations.
— Elles sont automatiquement sauvegardées à l’intérieur de votre Joystick (même
débranché).
— Lorsque que votre «PRESET MANUEL» est vierge, il est alors identique au «PRESET
AUTOMATIQUE».
PROGRAMMATION / MAPPING
Vos programmations s’effectuent à l’aide du bouton MAPPING.
Attention : Sur PC ou sur PS3, ce bouton n’a pas le même emplacement
(reportez vous aux schémas) :
— Sur PC : appuyez directement sur le bouton concerné
— Sur PS3 : appuyez simultanément sur START (ST) + SELECT (SE)
• Exemples d’applications possibles :
— Inverser la position des boutons
— Inverser des axes entre eux = directions du manche, de la manette des gaz ou du
palonnier (Dans ce cas, vous devez basculer les 2 directions du 1er
axe vers le
second.)
— Inverser les 2 directions du même axe
— Inverser des boutons avec la direction d’un axe ou de la croix
• Exception :
Sur PlayStation®3, les boutons START(ST) et SELECT(SE) correspondent également au
bouton MAPPING (et ne peuvent donc pas être reprogrammés)

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
Adjustable handle resistance
Depending on your gaming style, you may prefer to have an ultra-sensitive
joystick, which responds to the slightest movement, or a firmer joystick,
which offers a certain resistance when you use it.
Your joystick’s handle resistance is adjustable, in order to adapt to all
gamers. To adjust it, use the handle resistance adjustment dial (9) located
under your joystick’s base.
Throttle
The throttle is in the form of a thumb slider (6), easily accessible with your
left hand resting on the base of your joystick.
Rudder function
Your joystick features a rudder function, which in a plane corresponds to the
pedals used by the pilot to turn the steering, allowing the plane to pivot
around its vertical axis (therefore making the plane turn left or right). This
rudder function is accessible on your joystick by rotating the handle to the
left or right. If you are not using the rudder function in your games (or if
you have programmed it onto action buttons), you can disable handle rotation
thanks to the locking screw (5) located on the handle’s base.
Use a flat head screwdriver to change the screw’s position and thus
lock/unlock the rudder function.
Multidirectional “Point Of View” hat-switch
Your joystick features a “Point Of View” hat-switch (3) which, as its name
indicates, allows you (in games which permit) to instantly view everything
that’s going on around your plane. To do so, simply go to your game’s
configuration menu and program the different views (rear view, left view,
right view, and also external views) onto the directions of the “Point Of
View” hat-switch.
Of course, you can also use the “Point Of View” hat-switch for other functions
instead (firing, etc.)
2 PROGRAMMING MODES
The PRESET button (8) and LED (7) allow you to view the type of
programming selected: AUTOMATIC (preprogrammed) or MANUAL (programmed by
yourself). A single press of this button will allow you to switch from one
programming mode to the other, even during the course of a game.
AUTOMATIC PRESET: RED LED
This represents the default programming: the axes, positions of the buttons
and of the hatswitch are preprogrammed.
PLEASE REFER TO THE “AUTOMATIC PRESET” CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS.
MANUAL PRESET: GREEN LED
This represents your own person programming:
- The buttons, axes and the hat-switch can be switched between themselves.
- You can modify the programming to suit your taste and whenever you like.
- Programming is automatically saved in your joystick (even when it is disconnected).
- When your “MANUAL PRESET” is blank, it is identical to the “AUTOMATIC PRESET”.
PROGRAMMING / MAPPING
You can program your joystick using the MAPPING button.
Attention: This button is not located in the same position on PC and PS3
(please refer to the diagrams):
- On PC: Directly press the button in question.
- On PS3: Simultaneously press START (ST) + SELECT (SE).
Examples of possible applications:
- Switching the positions of buttons.
- Switching axes between themselves = directions of the handle, of the throttle or of the rudder (In this case, you must map the 2 directions of the first axis to those of the second.)
- Switching the 2 directions of the same axis.
- Switching buttons with a direction of an axis or of the hat-switch.
Exception:
On PlayStation®3, the START (ST) and SELECT (SE) buttons also correspond to
the MAPPING button (and therefore may not be reprogrammed).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNING
- My joystick doesn’t function correctly or appears to be improperly calibrated:
- Switch off your computer or your console, disconnect your joystick, reconnect your joystick and then re-launch your game.
- When connecting your joystick: Leave the handle, rudder and throttle centered and do not move them (to avoid any calibration problems).
- Exit your game, disconnect your joystick, verify that the USB selector (PC / PS3) (1) is set to the proper position, then reconnect your joystick.
I can’t configure my joystick:
-
* In your game’s “Options / Controller / Gamepad or Joystick” menu: Select the most appropriate configuration or completely reconfigure the controller options.- Please refer to your game’s user manual or online help for more information.
- You can also use your joystick’s “MAPPING” function to resolve this type of problem.
My joystick is too sensitive or not sensitive enough:
-
* Your joystick self-calibrates on its own after you have made a few movements on the different axes.- In your game’s “Options / Controller / Gamepad or Joystick” menu: Adjust the sensitivity or dead zones for your controller (if this option is available).
- Adjust the handle resistance using the dial (9) located under your joystick’s base.

This warranty is nontransferable.
The consumer’s legal rights with respect to laws applicable to the sale of

spare parts, as Technical Support is the only party authorized to open and/or
recondition any Thrustmaster product (with the exception of any reconditioning
procedures which Technical Support may request that the consumer carry out, by
way of written instructions – for example, due to the simplicity an the lack
of confidentiality of the reconditioning process – and by providing the
