In Case You Missed It: Thrustmaster Unveils Game-Changing Products For Driving and Flight-Sim Fanatics

Last week, gaming peripheral giant Thrustmaster sent shockwaves through the gaming community with two groundbreaking product announcements. With their reputation for producing top-of-the-line accessories, the unveiling of the TH8S Shifter add-on and Viper TQS has left gamers eagerly anticipating their release. Let’s dive into the details and explore what makes these new additions so exciting.

The TH8S Shifter add-on is a true game-changer for racing enthusiasts. Designed with precision and authenticity in mind, this add-on is a must-have for anyone serious about their virtual driving experience. Boasting a robust construction and an impressive array of features, the TH8S Shifter elevates the level of immersion to new heights. With its H-pattern and sequential shift modes, gamers can effortlessly switch between manual and automatic transmission, adding an extra layer of realism to their races. And with adjustable resistance and a detachable shift knob, players can fine-tune their setup to suit their preferences. The shifter is designed to work with all Thrustmaster Force Feedback racing wheels, and is compatible with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

But that’s not all! Thrustmaster didn’t stop at racing games. They also introduced the Viper TQS, a versatile controller designed for flight simulation enthusiasts. This unique throttle control is an official replica of the throttle quadrant in the Lockheed-Martin F-16 “Viper”, making it the ultimate tool for virtual pilots (at least those flying single-engine aircraft). The Viper TQS features a comfortable grip and intuitive controls, allowing players to execute precise maneuvers with ease. With an array of buttons, switches, and programmable functions, users have complete control over their aircraft, creating a truly immersive flight experience.

Thrustmaster’s commitment to innovation and quality is evident in both of these products. The attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials ensure that gamers will have reliable and durable accessories that stand the test of time. Additionally, compatibility with a wide range of platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, means that gamers can enjoy these accessories regardless of their preferred gaming system.

The Viper Panel is also available either in standalone or packed with the Viper TQS for those who need the ultimate in sim-worthy control.

Furthermore, Thrustmaster’s dedication to customization shines through in these new releases. Both the TH8S Shifter add-on and the Viper TQS offer adjustable features, allowing users to personalize their gaming setup to their heart’s content. Whether it’s fine-tuning the resistance of the shifter or programming specific commands on the flight controls, gamers can tailor their experience to suit their unique play style.

The Viper TQS, Viper Panel, and Viper TQS Mission Pack will be available October 11, 2023, with pre-orders starting August 23, 2023. The TH8S Shifter will be available July 27th, 2023, with pre-orders beginning June 29, 2023.
