HOTAS


hotas as an acronym stands for “hands on throttle and stick”, basicly describing a joystick that can be connected to a pc or a console in order to deliver a maximum in realism, immersion and flexibility to the user.

what sets a hotas apart from an “average joystick” is that is consists of two modules that are in some way physically connected:

the “stick” and the “throttle”.

each requires the use of one hand for operation, hence the name.

the only ways of further upgrading a hotas system are adding control pedals and/or a head-mounted motion-tracking system.
if you’re serious about flight-sims, you won’t get around purchasing a hotas.

to date the most complete and critically acclaimed models are for a realistic(flight-sim) approach thrustmaster’s cougar hotas and for a sci-fi(mechwarrior/sp-ce-sim) approach saitek’s x52.
