Sol-R4 HOTAS flight simulator

The Thrustmaster Sol-R4 is a HOTAS set that pairs a joystick with a removable flightstick and a separate throttle unit. It connects to Windows 10 and 11 and provides 58 assignable action buttons for flight and space simulation.

Advanced PC sim pilots needing Hall-effect precision

This system suits advanced users who want 16-bit accuracy on X, Y and Z axes via H.E.A.R.T. Hall-effect sensors. It is not for buyers who need console compatibility or a single-stick controller without a throttle.

58 actions with 80 mm throttle travel

The 21 grip buttons, two triggers, two hat switches, ministick and thumbwheel cover most combat and navigation commands. The 3.1 inch throttle throw with adjustable detent handles engine management, while the base adds switches, pads and a mini-throttle for extra functions.

Questions about this item

What operating system is required for the 58 action buttons to be recognised?

The HOTAS set is designed for Windows 11 and Windows 10, providing full recognition of all 58 action buttons on those platforms.

Does the removable flightstick use the same connection as earlier Thrustmaster bases?

The grip and base are compatible with the Thrustmaster ecosystem, allowing the flightstick to be interchanged with other ecosystem components.

How can I verify the Hall effect axes are delivering 16-bit accuracy after installation?

Open the Windows Game Controllers panel or the Thrustmaster control software and confirm that X, Y and Z axes report a 16-bit resolution range.
