  • AXY sensors deliver optimal precision across two axes for total control
  • Scalable ecosystem offers additional AVA accessories to expand your setup

Advanced Versatile Aviation Base

The Thrustmaster 2960882 AVA Joystick Base is a modular flight-simulation platform built for pilots who want full hardware customisation. Its all-metal mechanism lets you swap the axis curve, resistance, travel and damping between flights or on the fly. The base targets enthusiasts seeking a single foundation that covers military, civil, space and helicopter simulation styles.

Two-Axis Precision With AXY Sensors

AXY (Accurate X&Y) sensors deliver precise two-axis movement tracking for subtle control inputs. The quick-modification design means you can adjust functional elements without tools, freeing desk space that separate specialised bases would occupy. Compatibility spans every aviation genre, so one base replaces multiple dedicated units in a compact sim pit.

Ideal For Multi-Discipline Sim Pilots

This base suits simmers who fly diverse aircraft types and want hardware that adapts to each mission profile. Builders who need more than two axes or require integrated throttle and button modules should look at a different solution, as the AVA base focuses solely on stick movement and modular feel.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit you hit when using the AVA base for long sessions?

The base provides two axes of control via AXY sensors, so sustained use is limited by the range and precision of those two axes.

How much noise, heat or power does the base produce during all-day operation?

The all-metal mechanism has no active cooling or motorised parts, so it runs silently, generates negligible heat and draws only the power supplied by the connected USB port.

What must I already own for the AVA base to work as a flight stick?

You need a compatible Thrustmaster joystick grip that attaches to the modular AVA base, plus a PC with a free USB port for the connection.
