T16000m fcs flight pack
-
Just bought the thrust master entry level “ecosystem” (stick, throttle and pedals)
It hasn’t even arrived yet and I’m already having buyers remorse; there appears to be quite a few threads on here that relate to issues with the product and its software.
Thing is, what’s the alternative at the price point? My previous stick was a T-Flight HOTAS X, hopefully this will still be an upgrade.
Saitek, CH and the big boy TM sticks are all way to expensive for me (plus I have read to many negative reviews in regards to Saitek)
Does anyone have experience with both the T-Flight HOTAS X and the t16000m fcs flight pack? Was it worth the upgrade, or did I just flush a couple hundo down the drain?
Thanks for any advice, if I get enough negatives I will just return it and save for the CH setup I suppose.

The FCS is an excellent entry point hotas. Yes, the stick could use more buttons but beside that, it’s amazing.

I’m only just starting in BMS so I can’t speak to how well it works in this specific game, but I adore the 16000m FCS. It’s true the stick doesn’t have the buttons and hat switches you’d need to match the actual F-16 HOTAS, but if you don’t mind using a shift button you should be able to bind everything you need to the throttle. Beyond that it’s a great feeling stick, honestly, it feels much nicer to use than the more expensive CH Fighterstick I replaced it with.
