If you are using a USB hub, your hub must use an independent power supply for your
joystick to operate properly.
RECOMMENDED USE
• The joystick has been designed for indoor use only.
• Make sure to install your joystick in such a way that an electrical outlet is nearby and easily accessible.
• If you are not planning on using your joystick again for an extended period of time, unplug the power
cable.
• To avoid the risk of fire or electrical discharge, do not expose your joystick to rain or humidity, open it
up, position it near a source of heat or expose it to direct sunlight.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR JOYSTICK
Rudder control function
Your Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback features a rudder control function, which in an airplane
corresponds to the pedals used by the pilot to turn the rudder, allowing the airplane to pivot around its
vertical axis. This rudder control function is accessible in two ways: on your joystick by twisting the handle
to the left or to the right, or via the rocking button (8) on the throttle.
Selection of the rudder control mode (twisting handle or rocking button) is done via the rudder control
selection switch (5). To control the rudder by twisting the handle, select JOYSTICK. To control the rudder
using the rocking button, select THROTTLE.
If you are using the rocking button, you can stop the handle from twisting by using the locking screw (6)
located at the base of the handle. Use a flathead screwdriver to change its position and thus lock/unlock
the handle’s twisting feature.
Throttle
Your Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback features an imposing throttle (2) which you can use to easily
control your airplane’s acceleration. For greater convenience, the throttle’s range of travel is delimited by
the Idle and Afterburner positions.
You can also recreate real piloting conditions and play with the throttle positioned further to your left, as
opposed to just beside the handle. The throttle on your Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback is
detachable.
1. Remove the Allen key (7) attached to the underside of the unit.
2. Unscrew the two Allen screws on the underside of unit, located at the far left-hand side of the handle
section’s base.
3. Unwind the throttle cable and position the throttle where you will be most comfortable using it.
4. For the sake of both aesthetics and stability, screw the base stabilizer piece included in the box onto the
left-hand side of the handle section’s base.
5. Put the Allen key back in its place to make sure that you don’t lose it.
Point Of View button
Your Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback features a Point Of View button (1) which, as its name
indicates, allows you to instantly view everything that is going on around your airplane. To use this feature,
simply go into your game’s setup menu and program the different views (rear view, view to the left, view to
the right, and also the external views) onto the directions of the Point Of View button.
Of course, you can also reserve the Point Of View button for other uses (firing, etc.).
