[. . . ] € 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. Remove the Allen key (7) attached to the underside of the unit. Unscrew the two Allen screws on the underside of unit, located at the far left-hand side of the handle section’s base. Unwind the throttle cable and position the throttle where you will be most comfortable using it. 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. 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. 3/4 TECHNICAL SUPPORT If you encounter a problem with your product, please go to http://ts.
