RS-16 HOTAS

Realsimulator’s professional version of the F-16 HOTAS

The grip incorporates the cutoff release for the idle-to-cutoff operation, and the base includes the guide rail and the Chaff/Flares Slap switch. Both the total travel and the different zones delimited in the guide rail offer an effective travel similar to the real one.

The throttle grip shares the same manufacturing characteristics as the stick grip. The standard version comes with commercial-grade switches and sensors, while military-grade components are available upon request.

Technical description

RS-16 Flight Stick

The Flight Stick features the FSSB-R3 PRO base, complemented by a high-fidelity replica of the grip. This base is an enhanced version of the renowned FSSB-R3, incorporating notable advancements in sensors and electronics. These improvements ensure continuous 24/7 performance, delivering high precision and stability under all conditions. In its standard configuration, the unit allows for sensitivity adjustments ranging from 2 to 13 lb.

The stick grip is a high-fidelity replica, fully manufactured from high density resin in a one-piece body construction with a handmade finish with 2K paints. The standard version is populated with commercial-grade switches that provide a tactile feel similar to the real ones. Military-grade switches can be provided upon request.

The RS-16 HOTAS is a premium solution for simulation professionals, delivering top-notch performance in both traditional desktop configurations and immersive VR setups, making it an ideal solution for pilot training schools and engineering and programming departments.

Its robust construction guarantees exceptional durability, allowing for fluid and precise operation. The system features high-fidelity replicas of the F-16 HOTAS grips, designed to accurately replicate the size and functionality of the original controls. Both bases are less realistic solutions, although they maintain functionality similar to the original ones. Their design has been modified and adapted specifically to fulfill the purposes for which they were created.

RS-16 Throttle

The Throttle features a linear base (based on the RS-35 HOTAS throttle base) and a high-fidelity replica of the grip. The base is crafted from a precision-machined aluminum block, consisting of both a base and a lid to ensure optimal accuracy. This robust base serves as the support structure for the movement system, which features a high-precision assembly of stainless-steel linear guides and recirculating ball sliders, designed to provide long-lasting durability and smooth, precise movement.
