NexusFlight Airliner Sidestick – Classic Side Stick Grip, ALPS Switches, 5-Pin Connector, Fits Most Bases

NexusFlight Airliner Sidestick: overview

The NexusFlight Airliner Sidestick brings the side stick of a modern airliner to your desk, with a classic design and modern materials.

An ultra-rigid composite body with a tactile resin-like finish weighs only 220 g yet takes up to 30 kg of force, and premium ALPS switches give a crisp, reliable feel.

An 8-way hat, trigger and toggle cover the essentials, and the standard 5-pin aviation connector fits every NexusFlight base and most third-party bases.

Building a home flight simulator

Stick, yoke or both. Fighter jets and helicopters fly with a stick and throttle (HOTAS); airliners and general aviation use a yoke or a side stick with a throttle quadrant. Force feedback bases add real control loading: you feel airspeed, trim and stall buffet through the controls.

Panels make it real. Autopilot panels, flight computer displays and instrument screens put physical buttons where the virtual cockpit has them, so you fly by feel instead of clicking with a mouse.

Mounting. A desk clamp is enough to start; a flight cockpit or side mounts on a sim rig keep controls rigid and at the right height. Rudder pedals complete the setup for coordinated turns, taxiing and crosswind landings.

Setup and use

1. Connect the grip to the base.
2. Map switches in the cockpit configuration software or in the sim.

Care and maintenance

Wipe with a dry cloth.
