July 13, 20214 yr Amazon have it for £99.99 but Box.co.uk have it for £79.99 with free delivery by Friday. Have used Box many times in past. EDIT To be clear the HOTAS One is the one that you need to work on XBOX for the new XBOX version of MSFS coming out later this month. The HOTAS One version has been pretty much unobtainable new until today. CJ Edited July 13, 20214 yr by CJ1045
July 13, 20214 yr Great! I loved my old one but it died on me a few months ago (after quite a few years of use). What is the difference between the HOTAS X and this cheaper one they have on sale? I cant seem to find a difference except the colour. https://www.box.co.uk/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-X-Joystick_1318007.html Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

July 13, 20214 yr @bobcat999 The HOTAS One is Xbox compatible. The Hotas X is Playstation compatible I think, or at least they do a Playstation compatible version. Both work on PC anyway, the differences are just if they'll work with a gaming console too.

Thanks for your reply. I just googled some info on this and it confirms what you say. I might as well buy the cheaper version then. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

July 13, 20214 yr I've got a HOTAS X and I rate it, it's a good purchase (was even better value a few years ago as I got mine for under £50!). The only really issue I have is the cable between the joystick and throttle is not all that long. And it would be nice to have twin throttles. Otherwise it seems sturdily built, has a nice feel and plenty of buttons. Using the "paddle" on the throttles for rudder is better than twisting the stick too.

Otherwise it seems sturdily built, has a nice feel and plenty of buttons. Using the "paddle" on the throttles for rudder is better than twisting the stick too. I found this too. I liked mine until it died. Although it was quite old, I suspect I have developed a dodgy USB port, as the same one took out a USB stick as well, maybe a coincidence, but I have taped over the port now in case I forget! . The only issue I had with the old one was that the throttle went a bit floppy, no friction, so it would fall open or closed if I didn't keep my hand on it, with no way to increase the friction. I have actually just bought the cheaper Hotas-X now from Box. With VAT and special delivery, it did push it up to about £75. I saw some at over £120 though when the squeeze was on! Scalpers everywhere - I am surprised I have any hair left! 😀. RTX3080's are still stupid prices - this is the only other thing on my wish list at the moment.

July 13, 20214 yr Author Yes, I am just selling my ps4 version only because I want to use the same device on my Series X as well as my gaming PC. I would not be selling it and very happy with it if MS had not announced the XBOX release. I am very happy indeed to be getting the same device but with the XBOX security chip. I somehow don't think MSFS is going to be released for PS5 which I also have!!! CJ

CJ So it sounds like the inclusion of the Xbox security chip and maybe additional licencing is adding the extra cost to the Hotas-One compared to the Hotas-X. I didn't realise that. That extra button with the Xbox logo on comes at a price. But I understand your logic - If I had an Xbox, I would probably do the same. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

Yep the HOTAS X is the PS3/PC version so if you are only going to use for PC then it is an easy choice based on price as the One version adds nothing for use on a PC.

I got a three metre USB extension for mine and it works fine. Only about $20 AUD plus fuel to the store. Three metres plus the metre and a half of the one they provided is just right for my Xbox room. 4 hours ago, bobcat999 said: The only issue I had with the old one was that the throttle went a bit floppy, no friction, so it would fall open or closed if I didn't keep my hand on it, with no way to increase the friction. I got mine only a few weeks ago and I found the stick had a friction adjustment knob on the bottom of it, so maybe they'll add one for the throttle one day. You would have to repurchase of course, but they're not that dear I thought, and seem to be pretty solidly built. Mike Beckwith

It is only the cable from the stick to the xbox that you can easily extend which is not relevant to your issue. CJ
July 13, 20214 yr Ah yes, ha ha. I did misread your post, yeah that cable is not replaceable. Mike Beckwith

But the one you linked to is the HOTAS X JOYSTICK, which is different from the HOTAS X. Because it is for PS3 too but is only the joystick (without the throttle). Which is why it is so cheap. For Xbox you want the HOTAS ONE, and make sure it shows the stick and the throttle too in the picture. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 13, 20214 yr https://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/categories/joysticks Four pages of flight controls on the TM website. I think the TM Warthog is the best HOTAS for PC version MSFS.
