Authentic F-16C Viper Replica

This life-size 1:1 scale flight stick reproduces the real F-16C Viper grip for simulation enthusiasts. Its 100% metal construction uses industrial-grade materials to deliver an authentic tactile feel and long service life. The unit provides 19 action buttons and an 8-way point of view hat switch for extensive in-cockpit control.

Ecosystem Upgrade Path

The grip replaces a standard joystick handle on three compatible Thrustmaster bases: HOTAS Cougar, HOTAS Warthog and HOTAS Magnetic Base. Each base is sold separately and button 19 remains inactive when mounted on the HOTAS Cougar. The upgrade is worthwhile when a pilot wants the exact F-16C button layout and metal ergonomics without changing the underlying base.

Platform And Integration Limits

Native support is implemented in DCS through the dedicated F-16C Viper module, which must be purchased separately. The device functions as a generic HID joystick in all other flight simulation titles on Windows. No wireless or console connectivity is included and the grip cannot operate without a compatible base.
