FAQs


 Which flight games are supported by the AB6 Flight Simulator? Do I need to bind any buttons? 

The MOZA base supports the following flight simulators (partial list):

  • DCS World [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • War Thunder
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • X-Plane 11 [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • X-Plane 12 [Telemetry Force Feedback Supported]
  • IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover
  • IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series
  • Star Citizen

The MOZA base can also operate as a generic device, supporting flight titles not listed above. Simply configure the axis and button mappings in the game. You can fine-tune the force feedback experience in MOZA Cockpit software.

 Is the MOZA AB6 FFB Flight Base compatible with flightsticks from other brands? 

Currently supported third-party flightsticks include:

  • F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-On Grip
  • F/A-18C Hornet™ HOTAS Add-On Grip
  • Constellation ALPHA Prime [R], Constellation ALPHA [R], MongoosT-50CM2
  • 16EX Metal Joystick, ViperAce Metal Joystick Grip

Note: Some batches of the T-50CM2 flightstick may not be compatible. Support for additional flightsticks will continue to expand through future updates.

 What is the torque of the AB6 Base? Is it belt-driven? 

The MOZA AB6 FFB Flight Base delivers 4.25 N·m of continuous roll torque and 6 N·m of peak combined torque. It uses a gear-driven system.

 The MOZA Cockpit software cannot detect my AB6. What should I do? 

Follow these steps:

  • Check the power: Ensure the base is powered on. Indicator light should be lit. If not, check cables and press the power button for 1 second.
  • Listen for connection sound: If Windows sounds enabled, you should hear USB connection chime.
  • Verify device recognition:
    1. Press Win + R, type joy.cpl, press Enter.
    2. The AB6 should appear as MOZA AB6 FFB Base.

If detected in Windows but not in MOZA Cockpit, contact MOZA Technical Support.

 Can the AB6 be switched to shifter mode? What functions are available in this mode? 

Yes. Enable Shifter Mode in the MOZA Pit House software. Choose shifting modes and fine-tune force feedback settings for a more realistic experience.

 What are the buttons and sliders on the AB6 base used for? What can I assign them to? 

The AB6 features eight RGB-backlit customizable buttons for aircraft controls (landing gear, lights, etc.).

Two analog sliders can be assigned to axes such as throttle, airbrake, or view zoom.

 What is the movement range of the AB6 base? Is it the same as the AB9? 

AB6 offers ±20° roll (X-axis) and ±17° pitch (Y-axis). Difference due to compact design with pivot points on different planes. Longer lever arm ensures broader motion than traditional flightsticks.

 How do I update the AB6 firmware, and what’s the benefit? 

Use the built-in upgrade tool in MOZA Cockpit software. Firmware updates may include performance improvements, new features, and enhanced functionality. Keeping firmware updated ensures access to the latest enhancements.

 How can I calibrate or reset the AB6 Base, and when is it necessary? 

Three common calibration/reset procedures:

  • Travel Calibration: Auto at startup to define max X and Y travel.
  • Cogging Torque Calibration: Reduces motor cogging, compensates for grip weight, improves precision.
  • Base Reset: Rarely needed, only under MOZA Support guidance.

If issues persist after calibration, contact MOZA Support before attempting a reset.

 Can I attach an extension to the MHG Flightstick? 

Yes, use the MOZA Z-Axis Module. Note: Using an extension reduces perceived force feedback strength.

 Does the MHG Flightstick include a Z-axis? 

Yes, the MHG Flightstick included with AB6 Flight Simulator features a Z-axis. If calibration is required, refer to the User Manual to unlock the Z-axis before starting calibration.

 How do I install the MHG Flightstick? 
  1. Pull out the connection cable. Align arrow on cable with base, insert fully.
  2. Loosen screws on nut surface, then tighten nut ring clockwise.
  3. Use included wrench to tighten top screw clockwise until flightstick is firmly secured and does not wobble.
 Why does the included desk mount wobble slightly during use? 

The AB6 set includes an alloy desk mount. Slight wobbling may occur when the base is farther from desk edge. This is normal and does not affect performance.

On smoother desk surfaces, the clamp may slide. To improve stability, place a friction-enhancing material between clamp and desk.
