Notice THRUSTMASTER T-Flight Hotas X

« default, the throttle comes detached from the joystick. To attach the throttle to the joystick: 1. Turn both items upside down (the throttle and the joystick). 2. Take the Allen key (8) attached underneath the base of the joystick. 3. Position the throttle to the left of the joystick. Insert the connecting tab on the left of the joystick's base into the opening on the right hand side of the throttle. 4. Using the key, tighten the two Allen screws underneath the base (located on the left-hand side of the joystick's base). 5. Wind up the throttle cable and thread it through the cable guide slot. 6. Put the Allen key back in its place so as not to lose it. Carry out this procedure in reverse to detach the throttle from the joystick. ADJUSTABLE HANDLE RESISTANCE Depending on your style of gaming, you may wish to have an ultra-sensitive joystick, which responds to the slightest touch, or you may prefer to have a firmer joystick, which offers some resistance when you move it. Your joystick's handle resistance is adjustable, in order to adapt to all players. To adjust it, use the handle resistance adjustment dial (9) located underneath your joystick's base. 2/12 RUDDER FUNCTION 3/12 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. This rudder function is accessible in two ways: - on your joystick by rotating the handle (4) to the left or right. - or via the rocking button (10) on the throttle. If you are only using the rocking button (or if you are not using the rudder function), you can disable the handle's rotation thanks to the locking screw (5) located on the base of the joystick. Use a flat head screwdriver to change the screw’s position and thus lock/unlock the rudder function. Notes: - On PlayStation® 3 and on PC in "4 axes" mode, the rocking button is combined with the handle's rotation. - On PC in "5 axes" mode, the rocking button is independent of the handle's rotation and therefore provides an additional progressive axis. MULTIDIRECTIONAL "POINT OF VIEW" HAT-SWITCH Your joystick features a “Point Of View” hat-switch (13) 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.). PC INSTALLATION ON PC 1. Set your joystick’s USB selector (3) to the “PC” position. 2. Connect the USB connector (2) to one of your computer’s USB ports. Windows XP or Vista will automatically detect the new device. 3. The drivers are installed automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. 4. Click Start/Settings/Control Panel and then double-click Game Controllers. The Game Controllers dialog box displays the joystick’s name with OK status. 5. In the Contr... »
