If you own the Thrustmaster T.Flight U.S. Air Force Edition headset

[SkinnyCyclist]

I recently had to replace my worn out wireless Logitech headset and as a flight sim nerd I of course had to go with the TM T.Flight U.S. Air Force Edition headset! I'm very happy with the comfort and sound quality but I'm struggling to get the headset to work properly with the VoiceAttack voice recognition software. The recognition rate is sometimes really bad.

 

Hopefully I will eventually get there tweaking the settings, but I'm a bit concerned about the placement of the small holes on the microphone boom - facing my mouth there is one small hole but on the other side of the boom there are several holes? Is that correct? Note that the manual clearly states that you should not twist the microphone.

Can the Mic flip 180 degrees over the top so that it's on the other side if you turn the headset around?

 

I'd think the five holes should face your mouth and not the one small slit.

No, unfortunately the small hole will always face the mouth unless I twist it (which will probably break it...). I also think that the boom stoppes in the "straight-up-zero-degree-position".

 

Well, I have also contacted the TM support regarding this but considering my previous communications with them I expect a reply sometimes in the early summer. 2020.

I agree.

Just got this from the kind people over at Thrustmaster. So I assume that all holes are in the right places :)

 

"The .Flight U.S. Air Force Edition uses a unidirectional noise-cancelling microphone, it means that only picks up sound from a specific side or direction of the microphone. In the external microphone part you can find a noise cancellation feature that the main function is to block the ambient sounds."
