FAQ


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. In those cases, simply configure the axis and button mappings in the game.

You can further fine-tune the force feedback experience in the MOZA Cockpit software to suit your preferences.


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], and 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?

●Check the power: Verify that the base is powered on. The indicator light next to the power button on the rear panel should be lit. If it’s off, ensure all cables are properly connected, then press the power button once (about one second).

●Listen for the connection sound: If Windows system sounds are enabled, you should hear the USB connection chime when the AB6 is recognized.

●Verify device recognition:

  • Press Win + R, enter joy.cpl, and press Enter to open the Windows Game Controller list.
  • The AB6 should appear as MOZA AB6 FFB Base.

If Windows detects the device but the MOZA Cockpit software does not, please contact MOZA Technical Support for assistance.


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

Yes. You can enable Shifter Mode in the MOZA Pit House software. Once enabled, you can choose between shifting modes and fine-tune the 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 that can be mapped to aircraft controls such as landing gear, external lights, or other functions.

Additionally, 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?

The MOZA AB6 offers ±20° roll (X-axis) and ±17° pitch (Y-axis).

This difference results from the compact mechanical design, where the two pivot points are positioned on different planes.

However, the flightstick’s horizontal travel distance remains the same, and the longer lever arm ensures a broader motion range than traditional flightsticks.


The AB6’s roll range is ±20° and pitch range is ±17°. Is the travel asymmetric?

The X-axis (roll) has ±20° of travel, while the Y-axis (pitch) has ±17°.

This difference comes from the compact design, where the two pivot points are on slightly different planes.

However, the flightstick’s effective travel remains the same, and the longer lever arm ensures a broader motion range than traditional flightsticks.


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

Firmware can be updated using the built-in upgrade tool in the MOZA Cockpit software.

Each firmware update may include performance improvements, new features, and enhanced functionality.

Keeping your device firmware up to date ensures access to the latest enhancements.


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

There are three common calibration/reset procedures:

  • Travel Calibration - Automatically performed during startup to define maximum X and Y axis travel.
  • Cogging Torque Calibration - Reduces motor cogging and compensates for grip weight, improving precision and centering accuracy.
  • Base Reset - Rarely needed. Only perform this under the guidance of MOZA Technical Support.

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


Can I attach an extension to the MHG Flightstick?

Yes. You can use the MOZA Z-Axis Module.

Note: Using an extension will reduce the perceived force feedback strength.


Does the MHG Flightstick include a Z-axis?

Yes. The MHG Flightstick included with the AB6 Flight Simulator features a Z-axis.

If calibration is required, please refer to the User Manual to unlock the Z-axis before starting the calibration process.


How do I install the MHG Flightstick?

Please follow the steps below to install the MHG Flightstick:

  1. Pull out the connection cable from the flightstick. Align the arrow on the cable with the arrow marking on the base, then insert it fully to ensure a secure connection.
  2. Make sure the screws on the nut are loosened above the nut’s surface, then tighten the nut ring on the flightstick clockwise.
  3. Use the included wrench to tighten the screw on top of the nut ring clockwise until the flightstick is firmly secured and does not wobble.

Why does the included desk mount wobble slightly during use?

To simplify setup, the AB6 set includes an alloy desk mount. Due to packaging constraints and the mount’s structural design, slight wobbling may occur when the base is positioned farther from the desk edge. This is normal and does not affect performance. We will continue to refine and optimize the MOZA accessory ecosystem based on user feedback.

Note: On smoother desk surfaces, the AB6 desk mount clamp may slide slightly. To improve stability, place a friction-enhancing material between the clamp and the desk.
