Frequently Asked Questions - Sol-R 3 AVA Grip Add-On THRUSTMASTER

How to switch from right-handed to left-handed mode?
To switch to left-handed mode, set the selector under the base to LEFT HANDED (if Sol-R base) or via the control panel (AVA/HOTAS bases). You also need to swap the thumb rests and the wrist rest. See the Grip Configuration section of the manual.
How to lock or unlock the rudder function?
Use a 2 mm Allen key (not included) to tighten the screw under the wrist rest to lock the rudder, or loosen it to unlock.
Which bases are compatible with this grip?
The Sol-R 3 AVA Grip Add-On is compatible with the Sol-R 5 base, the AVA base (with the included STAR cams), and the HOTAS Magnetic Base (requires the Warthog Converter sold separately).
How to disable the hat switch?
Go to the grip control panel (Game Controllers > Properties > Test), then uncheck 'Hat switch' in the Test tab.
How to update the grip firmware?
The firmware is updated via the base. Visit the support page for your base (Sol-R 5, AVA, or HOTAS Magnetic Base), download the drivers, and follow the instructions. The grip does not require a separate update.
What to do if the joystick does not work properly?
Turn off the PC, disconnect and reconnect the joystick, then restart the PC. Keep the grip centered when connecting. If the problem persists, update the base firmware and check the configuration in the game.
How to configure the joystick in a game?
In the game's options menu, select Controller > Throttle or Joystick, then choose the appropriate configuration or reassign controls manually. Refer to the game manual for details.
Can I use this grip with a HOTAS Magnetic Base?
Yes, but a Warthog Converter (sold separately) is required. In this configuration, the grip is recognized as a VIPER HOTAS Add-On Grip and the rudder function is not available.
How to install the height adapter?
The height adapter simply snaps onto the wrist rest. It is available in right-handed and left-handed versions. Make sure to use approved accessories.
Where to download T.A.R.G.E.T. software?
Download T.A.R.G.E.T. from the support.thrustmaster.com website in the Software section. This software allows advanced programming of axes and buttons.

In this configuration, the flight stick grip is recognized as a VIPER HOTAS Add-On Grip.

The rudder function via rotating the flight stick grip is not functional.

Rudder function

The Sol-R 3 AVA Add-On Grip flight stick grip features a rudder function that can be accessed by rotating the flight stick grip to the left or to the right.

In an airplane, the pilot manipulates the rudder to pivot the plane around its vertical axis (making the plane turn to the left or to the right).

This function can be disabled by locking the rotation of the Z axis (yaw).

To lock the rudder function:

- Using a 2 mm Allen wrench (not included), tighten the hexagonal screw located below the wrist rest.
