The Thrustmaster Airbus Add-On Grip is an officially licensed Airbus flight stick grip for Thrustmaster joystick bases, with two configurations —A300 and A400M— and 16-bit H.E.A.R.T. Hall Effect sensors, compatible with PC (Windows 10/11) and simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane.
It is the only officially licensed Airbus grip built for the left hand, reproducing the captain's posture and handling in a 1:1 scale cockpit. The included module and removable button cover let you switch the grip from the A300 (commercial aviation) configuration to the A400M (military transport) one with no tools, in just a few steps.

When using the Warthog Converter, the HOTAS Warthog base supports only 5 buttons, 1 PoV hat switch and the X+Y axes, due to its communication limitation.
Frequently asked questions
