The Thrustmaster Sol-R 6 Throttle is a throttle for flight and space simulation on PC with 80 mm of travel on S.M.A.R.T. rails, a detent adjustable to 4 positions and a built-in 15° rudder with automatic re-centring.
You use it with your left hand to manage engine thrust while your right hand flies the stick: one half of the HOTAS concept. Its 14 additional actions cover engines, flaps, gear or airbrakes without letting go of the throttle, within the Thrustmaster FlightSim ecosystem.
Key features of the Sol-R 6 Throttle
- S.M.A.R.T. technology (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks): 80 mm of smooth, precise and consistent travel.
- Detent configurable to 4 positions: none, 50%, 80% (afterburner) or dual-detent, depending on the aircraft you fly.
- Built-in rudder with a 15° angle and automatic re-centring, to control your trajectory without pedals.
- Up to 14 additional actions: 4 buttons, 2 four-position hat switches, 1 eight-position PoV, 1 thumbwheel and 1 ministick.
- Suitable for space, military and civil aviation simulation.
- Programmable with the free T.A.R.G.E.T. software to build profiles per aircraft or mission.

Frequently asked questions
What is the detent and what are its 4 positions for?
The detent is a physical stop that marks a reference point along the throttle travel. The Sol-R 6 lets you set it to 4 positions — none, 50%, 80% (afterburner) or dual-detent — to suit a fighter jet, a civil airliner or a spacecraft.
Does the Sol-R 6 Throttle work without a joystick?
It works as a standalone USB device, but its purpose is to complete a joystick and form a HOTAS setup: one hand on the throttle and the other on the stick.
Do I still need rudder pedals with the Sol-R 6?
Not necessarily. The Sol-R 6 has a built-in 15° manual rudder with automatic re-centring that covers trajectory control. Even so, it can be expanded with the TFRP rudder pedals, sold separately.
Does it work on PS5 or Xbox?
No. The Sol-R 6 Throttle is a PC-only device (Windows 10 and 11) and is not compatible with consoles.
How many actions can I assign?
Up to 14 additional actions across 4 buttons, 2 four-position hat switches, 1 eight-position PoV, 1 thumbwheel and 1 ministick, all programmable with the free T.A.R.G.E.T. software.
