Mission Pack Avionics

The Thrustmaster Viper F-16 TQS Mission Pack combines a metal throttle quadrant system with a dedicated control panel for PC flight simulation. Licensed by the U.S. Air Force, it delivers a 1:1 scale replica of the Viper throttle handle and panel for immersive cockpit control.

Upgrade Path

The Mission Pack replaces a basic throttle and keyboard setup by adding 64 action buttons including 13 virtual buttons, 6 axes, and disengageable detents. The jump is worth it when you need the CHAFF/FLARE slap switch, Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents, plus a trim wheel and MODE and PGRM rotary selectors on the CMDS panel for complex combat management.

Interface Limits

The system connects via USB to PC and is Plug and Play in DCS World with no setup required. It relies on H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensor technology providing 16-bit resolution and 65,635 values for surgical precision across all axes. The T-MOD technology and Hot-Swap feature allows swapping modules at any point during a game.

Questions about this item

What desk space and mounting points does the metal throttle quadrant require?

The 1:1 scale metal throttle handle needs a flat surface with room for its full travel range; no specific mounting-hole pattern is given, so plan for a stable desk area that can hold the unit without overhang.

How do I connect the throttle and panel to my PC, and what step do pilots often miss?

Plug the USB cable into the PC — the device is Plug and Play in DCS World and auto-recognised — then verify the Idle/Cutoff and Afterburner detents engage correctly, which is the step many skip during first setup.

Which parts of the Viper TQS Mission Pack will wear first and need replacement?

The 64 action buttons, 6 axes, and the two disengageable detent levers see the most cycles; the H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensors are contactless, so button switches and detent mechanisms are the items to watch over time.
