Galactic Combat Grip
The Thrustmaster Sol-R 3 AVA Add-On Grip is a flightstick attachment built for PC space simulation and combat. It provides 21 mappable action buttons including two triggers, two hat switches, a ministick and a thumbwheel. The grip features a built-in Z-axis with H.E.A.R.T. 16-bit accuracy for precise rotational control. An ambidextrous design uses interchangeable hand and thumb rests to suit either hand.
Base Upgrade Path
This add-on grip replaces a standard stick on compatible Thrustmaster AVA or Sol-R bases, which are sold separately. The upgrade is worthwhile when a pilot needs the built-in Z-axis and expanded button layout for complex spacecraft management. Two included STAR cams allow the axis response curve to be tuned for different flight profiles. Without a supported base the grip cannot function.
Button Layout And Limits
The 21 controls and dual hat switches comfortably handle ship systems, weapon groups and navigation menus in modern space titles. The ministick and thumbwheel add fine-grained input for targeting or zoom functions. The grip runs out when a simulation demands more axes than the single Z-axis provides or requires a throttle quadrant for independent thrust control. The backlit ministick aids visibility in dark cockpits.

Questions about this item
What base is required to mount the Sol-R 3 AVA Add-On Grip?
The grip is optimized for Thrustmaster AVA and Sol-R bases, which are sold separately and must be purchased to use the grip.
How do the two STAR cams change the axis feel during installation?
Install the chosen STAR cam onto the AVA base to modify the axis curve; the step often missed is seating the cam fully so the curve change takes effect.
When should the interchangeable hand rest and thumb rest be replaced?
Replace the hand rest or thumb rest when the surfaces show wear or the fit becomes loose, using the spare parts included with the grip.
