Kick the tires and light the fires with the return of the legendary throttle quadrant system from the Viper, the world-famous modern multirole fighter aircraft — officially licensed by the U.S. Air Force. After years of developing the Hotas Warthog, Thrustmaster is proud to release a new 1:1 scale replica of the Viper TQS, following in the footsteps of Thrustmaster’s iconic Hotas Cougar. This 1:1 scale replica metal throttle handle for PC provides incredible realism and outstanding ergonomics thanks to 21 action buttons, 5 axes, and disengageable detents. Enjoy firm, linear travel with no dead zones on the throttle thanks to the adjustable friction as well as realistic controls, including the iconic CHAFF/FLARE slap switch to deploy countermeasures in air combat! Enjoy full immersion thanks to ultra-realistic flight kinematics with access to Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents, via mechanical levers and handle rotation. Unleash the potential of Viper TQS (Throttle Quadrant System) by expanding its flight and combat capabilities with Viper Panel (sold separately). The lower part of Viper TQS can be detached to fit Viper Panel and create the complete Viper experience. Viper TQS is compatible with PC and is Plug and Play in DCS World, with no setup required: the device is automatically recognized in the game.
