GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HOTAS JOYSTICK
THROTTLE
Your joystick features a large throttle which you can use to easily control the acceleration of
your aircraft.
The throttle is detachable and may be positioned in 2 different ways, either:
Detached and separated from the joystick
(to re-create authentic piloting conditions)
Attached to the joystick
(for greater stability and to take up less space).
By default, the throttle comes detached from the joystick.
To attach the throttle to the joystick:
1. Turn both items upside down (the throttle and the joystick).
2. Take the Allen key (6) attached underneath the base of the joystick.
3. Position the throttle to the left of the joystick.
Insert the connecting tab on the left of the joystick's base into the opening on the right
hand side of the throttle.
4. Using the key, tighten the two Allen screws underneath the base
(located on the left-hand side of the joystick's base).
5. Wind up the throttle cable and thread it through the cable guide slot.
6. Put the Allen key back in its place so as not to lose it.
Carry out this procedure in reverse to detach the throttle from the joystick.
ADJUSTABLE HANDLE RESISTANCE
Depending on your style of gaming, you may wish to have an ultra-sensitive joystick, which
responds to the slightest touch, or you may prefer to have a firmer joystick, which offers
some resistance when you move it.
Your joystick's handle resistance is adjustable, in order to adapt to all players. To adjust it,
use the handle resistance adjustment dial (7) located underneath your joystick's base.
3/8
RUDDER FUNCTION
Your joystick features a rudder function, which in a plane corresponds to the pedals used by
the pilot to turn the steering, allowing the plane to pivot around its vertical axis (therefore
making the plane turn left or right). This rudder function is accessible on your joystick by
rotating the handle to the left or right.
This rudder function is accessible in two ways:
- on your joystick by rotating the handle (4) to the left or right.
- or via the rocking button (8) on the throttle.
If you are only using the rocking button (or if you are not using the rudder function), you can
disable the handle's rotation thanks to the locking screw (5) located on the base of the
joystick. Use a flat head screwdriver to change the screw’s position and thus lock/unlock the
rudder function.
MULTIDIRECTIONAL "POINT OF VIEW" HAT-SWITCH
Your joystick features a “Point Of View” hat-switch (11) which, as its name indicates, allows
you (in games which permit) to instantly view everything that’s going on around your plane.
To do so, simply go to your game’s configuration menu and program the different views (rear
view, left view, right view, and also external views) onto the directions of the “Point Of View”
hat-switch.
Of course, you can also use the “Point Of View” hat-switch for other functions instead (firing,
etc.).

• My joystick doesn’t function correctly or appears to be improperly calibrated:

launch your game.

joystick. Sign in to your Sony Entertainment Network account, in order to be able to use the
joystick.
• My joystick is too sensitive or not sensitive enough:

different axes.
- In your game’s “Options / Controller / Gamepad or Joystick” menu: Adjust the sensitivity or
dead zones for your controller (if this option is available).
- Adjust the handle resistance using the dial (7) located under your joystick’s base.
• The rudder function is too sensitive:
- Disable the handle's rotation using the locking screw (5) located on the base of the joystick
and use the rocking button for the rudder function.
