The Thrustmaster Sol-R 2 HOSAS Space Sim Duo is a pair of joysticks for PC space simulation with 88 assignable actions and 6 physical axes using 16-bit H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensors, built for pilots who want a full HOSAS setup.
HOSAS (Hands On Stick And Stick) means flying with a joystick in each hand: it is the most widely used configuration in space sim because it lets you control every translation and rotation axis of your ship without letting go of the controls. Each unit pairs a detachable ambidextrous grip with a base featuring a central throttle, within the Thrustmaster FlightSim ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
What is a HOSAS setup and why use one?
HOSAS (Hands On Stick And Stick) means flying with two joysticks, one in each hand. It is the preferred setup in space sim because it lets you control your ship's rotation and translation independently, which a single joystick cannot cover.
Does the Sol-R 2 HOSAS work on PS5 or Xbox?
No. The Sol-R 2 HOSAS Space Sim Duo is a PC-only set (Windows 10 and 11) and is not compatible with consoles.
How many axes and actions does it offer in total?
88 assignable actions, 6 physical axes with 16-bit H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensors and 10 virtual axes across the thumbwheels, throttles and ministicks.
Can the grips be swapped?
Yes. Both grips are detachable and can be fitted to an AVA base, while the Sol-R bases accept the Viper and F/A-18C Hornet grips (sold separately).
Is it comfortable during long sessions?
Yes. It includes interchangeable wrist rests and thumb rests for right- or left-handed setups, plus 8 stability supports that anchor both bases to your desk.
