Main highlights

Wear-free digital VPC sensors: Both devices are equipped with the high-precision, contactless magnetic sensor technology from VIRPIL. This guarantees millimetre-accurate inputs without annoying dead zones (dead zones), prevents stick drift and ensures a lifetime of durability without mechanical abrasion.
THE COMPLETE CADET HOTAS BUNDLE: Start right through! This premium set combines the world's smallest dual-cam CDT-AEROMAX-R flightstick (right-handed) with the versatile CDT-VMAX throttle. The perfect duo for space saving desk setups and cockpits without sacrificing ergonomics.
Revolutionary metal gimbal (light stick): forget about inaccurate plastic mechanics. The joystick utilizes a CNC machined metal gimbal with two cams (dual cam) per axle, high-quality bearings and adjustable clutch dampers for absolute high-end precision and stability in every maneuver.
Plug and play for all simulators: no complicated driver installation required. The devices connect to the PC via standard USB and are immediately natively compatible with the most popular games such as DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and IL-2 Sturmovik.
GIGANTIC CONTROL ARSENAL: Over 40 programmable inputs! Benefit from 4-way hats, knobs, programmable RGB LEDs and an analogue mini stick (ideal for VR). The twist axis (Z axis) on the joystick is integrated to control the rudder and physically lockable for pedal users if required.
DOUBLE GAS LEVER WITH ADJUSTABLE DETENTS (THROTTLE): Two independent metal axles with adjustable friction resistance for twin-engine jets. Move the detent plates for precise idle and afterburner feedback, or use the enclosed CosmoSim detent plate for a central zero point in space sims.
