ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

This section outlines the basic operation of the T16000M FCS HOTAS components.

ການດໍາເນີນ Joystick

• Pitch & Roll: Move the joystick forward/backward for pitch control and left/right for roll control.
• Yaw (Rudder): Twist the joystick handle left or right to control the yaw axis (rudder).
• ຕົວກະຕຸ້ນ: The primary trigger on the front of the stick is typically used for firing weapons.
• ປຸ່ມ: Utilize the 16 programmable action buttons for various in-game functions such as gear, flaps, targeting, etc.
• POV Hat: The 8-way POV hat switch is commonly used for camera views or quick menu navigation.

ການ​ດໍາ​ເນີນ​ງານ Throttle​

• Thrust Control: Slide the main throttle lever forward and backward to adjust engine thrust. The S.M.A.R.T technology ensures smooth and precise movement.
• ມິນິ-ສະຕິກ: The push mini-stick on the throttle can be used for precise camera control or strafing in space simulations.
• Switches & Buttons: The 14 action buttons, including 4-way switches and a slider, can be assigned to functions like speed brakes, landing gear, weapon selection, or communication.

ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your flight control system.

• ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the joystick and throttle. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• ປ້ອງກັນຝຸ່ນ: When not in use, cover the devices to prevent dust accumulation, especially in the throttle's sliding mechanism.
• ການຄຸ້ມຄອງສາຍໄຟ: Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the USB cables to prevent damage.
• ການເກັບຮັກສາ: ເກັບຮັກສາອຸປະກອນໄວ້ໃນບ່ອນທີ່ເຢັນ, ແຫ້ງ, ຫ່າງຈາກແສງແດດໂດຍກົງ ແລະອຸນຫະພູມທີ່ຮຸນແຮງ.

ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

If you encounter issues with your Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS, refer to the following common solutions.

• ອຸປະກອນບໍ່ຮັບຮູ້:
  • Ensure USB cables are securely connected to both the devices and the PC.
  • ລອງໃຊ້ພອດ USB ອື່ນ.
  • Reinstall the latest drivers from the Thrustmaster support webເວັບໄຊ.
  • ຣີສະຕາດ PC ຂອງທ່ານ.
• Buttons/Axes Not Responding:
  • Check in your game's control settings if the buttons/axes are correctly mapped.
  • Calibrate the devices through Windows Game Controller settings or Thrustmaster's TARGET software.
  • ໃຫ້ແນ່ໃຈວ່າບໍ່ມີອຸປະກອນປ້ອນຂໍ້ມູນທີ່ຂັດແຍ້ງກັນອື່ນໆທີ່ເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ຢູ່.
• Throttle Movement Not Smooth:
  • Dust or debris might be in the sliding mechanism. Gently clean the throttle track.
  • Consider applying a small amount of non-conductive, plastic-safe lubricant (e.g., Nyogel 767A) to the rails if the issue persists and you are comfortable with advanced maintenance.
