Thrustmaster Reveals AVA: The Ultimate Modular Base for Flight Simulation Joysticks

Thrustmaster is excited to introduce their latest innovation in flight simulation joysticks – the AVA (Advanced Versatile Aviation) base. This modular and scalable base is designed to cater to your individual needs and preferences, offering a wide range of customizable configurations for all types of aviation.

One of the standout features of the AVA base is its interchangeability. With various interchangeable elements such as the axis curve, resistance, travel, and damping, you have the freedom to create your ideal configuration. The design of the AVA base allows for quick and easy modification, both between flights and on-the-fly adjustments.

But the AVA base is not just a standalone product. Thrustmaster is building a complete ecosystem around it. They have introduced a metal plate designed for desktop use, an offset adapter that allows you to adjust the position of the grip, and they have also teased future add-ons and accessories. For those looking for a comprehensive package, there is a bundle available that includes the AVA base, metal plate, offset adapter, and Thrustmaster’s F/A-18C Hornet grip.

If you’re already a proud owner of the iconic HOTAS Warthog, the AVA base takes your flight simulation experience to the next level. With infinite settings for the joystick’s axes, thanks to its all-metal mechanism, you have unparalleled customization options.

The versatility of the AVA base is truly remarkable. It caters to all types of aviation, whether you’re a fighter aircraft pilot in need of firm joystick tensioning or a helicopter pilot requiring subtle and precise maneuvering. The AVA base adapts to your requirements, offering limitless configurations.

Thrustmaster has incorporated technologies into the AVA base to ensure superior piloting performance. With two AXY sensors for precise adjustment of the center point, progressiveness, and resistance, and their proprietary H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology for surgical precision, you can expect optimal precision and center point behavior in all your flights.

The future of flight simulation is here with the AVA base. Thrustmaster’s vast ecosystem of accessories, including additional grips, extensions, cams, springs, dampers, and cyclical brakes, allows for endless possibilities and customization.

For those eager to take to the skies immediately, the AVA F/A-18 Super Hornet bundle is the perfect choice. This bundle includes the AVA base, a metal support plate for desktop use, an offset adapter, and an accurate 1:1-scale replica of the F/A-18C Hornet flight stick developed under official Boeing license.

The AVA base is available for £249.99 / $299.99 / €279.99 in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. So, whether you’re a seasoned pilot or a flight simulation enthusiast, the AVA base promises to transport you into a world of simulation that’s more realistic than ever before.
