    Hey, thanks for your Video and the nice overview. If you turn the TM 16000M on the backside and push the throttle all the way up, you will find a little silver screw. If you turn this little screw you are able to change the resistance of the throttle. After that it works very smooth.

    I found the Thrustmaster has a bit of a break in period, I've now used it for about 20 hours of flying for so far and it feels a lot better now than it did out of box.

    One of the best reviewer I have watched. Had me engaged from the drop of the gloved hammer from the boxer, to the very end of the review. Awesome job!
  • @jeffreykschmidt
    awesome review! i love how your stuff is always to the point. this video is crammed full of great info. itll be the video i point to when friends ask about hotas setups from now on. a bunch of models and features covered. just missing the warthog.
  • This literally contains all of the information I have needed for so long. Thank you so much man you got yourself another subscriber!
  • @4k4st3r2
    You missed to mention the Thrustmaster TWCS has a tension adjustment screw on the bottom side so you can adjust how well it slides back and forth...
  • @cuttheloop
    Add resistance to the HOTAS 4 throttle by opening the base, remove a small plate, stretch or replace the spring. Sand off that center detent while you're in there.
  • @barnes0801
    Nigh on impossible to actually buy anything at the moment but as soon as I can ditch the controller then this video has been by far the most helpful I've watched when it comes to what my money will go on - Thanks!
  • @3dVisualist
    Great no-nonsense review, just what I needed - thank you!
  • @nuggeto6913
    amazing review was looking to buy a x52 and this is what a needed thanks so much for making this!
  • @Lurreable
    Thanks for the overview, I like your channel! Only thing I missed here was how well each combo performs in game, how accurate and easy to use the axes are.
  • @RamjetX
    Great review / survey of the HOTAS landscape... earned a Sub... cheers Alan.
  • @satanicdude
    Dude, you are definitley not the only one. The flip up thing is like the main reason I bought the x52 6 years ago. And I would've bought the rhino long time ago if it had it as well.
  • @giorgosvintziGR
    I like how excited you are with the flip button on the X52 as you mention it all the time 😄😄😄 Great video, helped me a lot to decide ❤
  • @peterdocter4659
    Nicely done video man, exactly the info you want when looking for hotas.
  • was looking at getting a HOTAS, I am going to get the X52 based on this review, seems to be the best bang for the $$$. Thank you sir!
  • @JJFPV
    Used the X52 for around 7 years now and never realised the trigger was 2 stage...blew my mind
  • @willmosse3684
    Great overview. Subbed. To make it a true review though I reckon a minute at the end to say which you think is best overall, or which would be best for different purposes, would be good. Cheers!

    i own the x56 logitech since about 2 years. daily use. worth the money if you give some time to run properly. had some serious problem with ghost acting. came out, i need an active usb-hub which delivers some extra energy. a new driver update too. now runs very smooth without problems
