Introduction
Despite the fact that flight simulator games can be played with a keyboard and mouse, a joystick adds extra realism and enables you to immerse yourself further into the game. It feels like you are actually flying the aircraft rather than simply mashing buttons on a keyboard.
Today, Thrustmaster have provided us with their T.16000M for review, which despite sounding like a terminator, is from their range of joysticks. It has some rather impressive features such as a resolution of 16000 x 16000, 16 buttons and 3D magnetic sensors. But do all these features add up to make a great joystick?
