Premium modular flight base

The Thrustmaster AVA Base & FA18 Super Hornet Flight Stick bundle delivers a complete flight control system for PC. It combines a premium modular base with a 1:1-scale replica of the F/A-18C Hornet stick officially licensed by Boeing. The package includes an Offset Adapter and a metal plate for installation flexibility.

Simulation enthusiasts seeking deep hardware tuning

Pilots who want to adjust axis curves, resistance, travel and damping without disassembling the base will benefit from external access points and AXY technology. The 19 action buttons, two-step trigger and 8-direction hat switch cover complex military, civil, space and helicopter setups. Builders needing console support or wireless operation should look elsewhere.

Offset Adapter and metal plate expand mounting

The bundled Offset Adapter lets you reposition the stick laterally for ergonomic cockpit layouts, while the metal plate provides a rigid mounting surface. Both accessories integrate directly with the modular base, enabling quick reconfiguration between aircraft types without extra purchases. Windows 10/11 Plug & Play recognition in DCS, X-Plane 11/12 and MFS 2020 means immediate gameplay.

Questions about this item

Do I need a Windows 10 or 11 PC to use this flight control system?

Yes, the bundle is compatible with PC running Windows 10 or 11 and offers plug-and-play recognition in supported titles.

Will my older flight-sim titles still recognise the stick if I keep them installed?

The stick uses standard PC game-controller input, so legacy simulators that accept generic joysticks should detect it without extra drivers.

How can I verify the AXY technology is delivering precise centre-point movement after setup?

Open the Windows game-controller test panel and watch the X and Y axes return smoothly to the exact centre with no jitter or dead-zone drift.
