  • Well built hardware, the drivers and configuration software have major problems.
Style: Warthog Bundle
Solid build quality on the stick and hardware. The mostly metal construction has a weight and feel which is satisfying for sims. If I only had to grade based on the stick and throttle I'd give a solid five stars. Unfortunately the drivers get flagged by Microsoft Windows Defender for Memory Integrity security issues. There are no recent driver updates to address this problem. Thrustmaster appears to feel leaving MS Win Defender features turned off is a small price to pay for using their products. Gaming vs. Security. No biggie, right folks? The TARGET configuration software frequently does not detect the stick. I'm told there are third party options for button mapping, but I expect proper software support from TM on a five hundred dollar product! Pass the buck to 3rd parties is lazy. ... show more

  • Terrible support and customer service. Good throttle once upgraded with parts that should be stock
Style: Dual Throttles
If you are considering Warthog HOTAS, then you’ve decided you are willing to part with substantial amount of cash for your hobby. In my VR flight sim evolution I have gone from an old Saitek, to a t 1600, a Warthog, and then I started spending real money… The Warthog is unchanged from the version that launch 8(?) years ago. It’s a cash cow 10 year old design that sells well because the next step up requires more knowledge to find, is more difficult to obtain, etc. Despite its age, the throttle is good, especially for DCS A-10C on which is it modeled. The stick, well, is not as good. Both the throttle and the stick and plagued by each having a glaring error. Some will whole heartedly recommend these, I say these people are about mid-way along that journey I described above and have not tried the better offerings. Fwiw, I am a pilot in real life with about 1200 hours in about 30 different aircraft so I come with the perspective of how real controls from a wide variety of aircraft “feel” First, the throttle – There is no much choice in premium throttles, and the warthog is quite good except for its terrible, awful, POS, slew sensor. It is a %0.79 sensor, that is the second most important axis on the throttle (the throttles being first of course). I won’t post the name here but with some digging around you can find a provider of a replacement sensor for $50. The replacement uses a mini stick that is the same as the one used on xbox one/ps4 controllers, with a custom PCB to convert the signal to l2c that the joystick board can handle. I’ve attached picture showing the modification, it makes this throttle immeasurably better. The Stick that comes with the full HOTAS suffers a similar problem. The grip is quite good, particularly in that it more closely matches US plane layouts, particularly the A-10 of course. The gimbal is atrocious however. It is made much better through various techniques, an extension helps quite a bit, for example. I gave up, I have my grip mounted to a Virpil warbird base with no extension and it is everything the warthog should have been. It is a plug and play swap, though you can no longer use target, and games won’t recognize it as a warthog, so it’s a little more setup. If you can find a used grip, this would be my recommendation. Just don’t bother with the WH gimbal. The throttle with modification is arguably the best, though the preference for one way switches that are borderline useful relatively to two-way, dials, additional buttons, etc. The motion of the thottles themselves are not as good as the virpil, though I prefer the warthogs design in that it pivots on a single point rather than slides. The stiction, and lack of adjustable detents however make the motion 2nd to the virpil. However, the virp is not without fault. As much as TM messed up with the garbage slew, the virpil lacks any analogue slew. Once upgraded, the WH is much better in this regard. ****** HOWEVER, I personally will not purchase another Thrustmaster product because of how terrible their technical support is. ****** Upon taking my throttle apart I realized that the assembled had attached some female plugs backwards on the board. It was unmistakable defective. However, because it was on the inside of the throttle, I did not discover it until I took it apart, after Amazon’s return period. I was, however, well within the Thrustmaster warranty, which explicitly includes replacement of defective products. I called US tech support, chatted with an engineer who laughed, we complained about production difficulties and QA (after putting the part on backwards, the assembler jammed the male plug in despite it not fitting, rather than repair their mistake). They stated they would send me a new one immediately (I provided numerous pictures and videos demoing the issue, a real pain, but as is required to receive support. Then, however, I began speaking with France based Guillemot support. I was told I needed to send the throttle to France, where they would inspect it, decided whether to repair or replace, and return it to me. I objected, as this was contrary to what I was previously told, and I did not want to be without a throttle for over a month. When I say objected, let me be clear. I’m a lawyer, I have my own firm, and among the various cases we have handled include products liability class actions, including against very well defended pharmaceutical companies that are far wealthier than Guillemot. So, I objected in as strong a manner as one could possible do, but despite incorrectly assembling their $500 HOTAS, the burden was falling to me. Fortunately, I was able to purchase and subsequently return a WH throttle while I waited (after, of course, confirming that the cost of return would be borne by Guillemot). RECOMMENDATION If you are looking for sub <$150 gear, Thrustmaster is fine. At the t.1600 price level it’s a good value. For high end gear? No way. Guillemot views the expanding their presence in high-end VR sim market as crucial to their future success. Of course, any company would covet consumers that have disposable cash for 9900ks and 2080 Tis, latest and greatest headsets, thus they evidently plan a line of high-quality products to appeal to these users. In this, however, they miss the mark. Amazon gets my business because of convenience, and, even when I screw up, they accept all returns no question asked and bend over backwards. I feel like a valued customer. In return, I’ve been prime for over 10-years, and spend 5-figures per year shopping on amazon. Thrustmaster, in contrast, treats customers that spend $500 on peripherals like garbage. In the most obvious case of defective product (where they literally put it together backwards), they do not stand behind their product. They were rude, dismissive, did not honor their prior statements nor own their defective product. As such, they have lost me for life. My recommendations is that if you are contemplating a $500 HOTAS, spend a few hundred more and go VKB or Virpil. Or, if slew on throttle instead of stick is important to you, get the TM throttle here and replace the slew stick/sensor as described above. Do it within the amazon return period, however, because god forbid you must deal with French support team… In the end, due to the problems with the design and terrible customer treatment I went with two stars. Its a decent product, but it will cost you another $75 to make the throttle good. Worse, it will cost you another $250 to make the stick good. Find a used WH grip and go elsewhere is my recommendation ... show more

  • The Best Stick Money Can Buy
Style: Warthog Bundle
This Stick is basically the best Flight sim stick money can buy. The feel of this stick screams quality and it really does add to the realism. For those of you who don't know, this stick is a exact Replica of the F-16 Stick, and by extension, the A-10C Warthog Stick. A little history: The A-10A Warthog used a different stick back in the 70's thru 90's. In the late 90's and early 2000's, The USAF upgraded a bunch of their A-10 Planes with a new cockpit, computer system, guidance system, and stick system. They added the F-16's stick, because pilots preferred it due to it's easy to reach controls. After everything was upgraded, the A-10A, was changed to the A-10C. This allowed them to drop GPS guidance bombs, and calculate projectile logistics while the aircraft was accelerating or moving. I learned a lot of this stuff from DCS World's, A-10C Simulator. This is a officially license designed from the USAF, which means for every stick sold, Thrustmaster has to pay the USAF a royalty fee. Feel good about supporting our military when you buy this stick. This Thrustmaster Replica stick, is so good, it has been used in tons of movies as a official prop. The newest movie to use this stick, is "The Martian" About the Stick: Quality: a lot of reviewers are mentioning the stick grip itself, is made of plastic. But you can't tell. When you grip this stick, you will think it's metal. It is cold to the touch. It does not move, or creak when you grip it. The "feel" of the movement of the stick is amazing. It provides consistent resistance on the full range of axis. Some reviewers are mentioning sticktion in some of the early units. I have revision 3, and have not noticed any sticktion at all. I believe thrustmaster has changed the grease, and upgraded the ball joint. The buttons are slightly stiff, but real looking. They are not overly stiff, but they are just right. The Throttle is a amazing piece of engineering and is a testimate to thrustmaster's design team. All of the flip switches are superb in quality, even beating audio equipment switches. The LED lights on the throttle are a nice touch, but i wish they were interactive. There are more buttons than you could ever use, however it does lack a rotary dial. Some space sim fans will want a rotary dial, or a full analog joystick. This throttle does not have that. It has a little mouse nub (similar to IBM thinkpad laptops), that you use with your ring finger, but its no where near the function of a analog stick or rotary dial. The throttle is amazing, but i'm more into space simulators like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, No-Man's Sky etc.. My Dream Setup would be the Warthog stick, with a Saitek Throttle which has a trackball. The new star citizen saitek sticks coming out later this year, will have a track ball on them. But there is no way Saitek's actual stick, will be even close in feel and quality to this warthog stick. You can play Space Simulator games fine with the full Warthog setup, but the way Star Citizen works, is you have free floating gimbled weapons, which do not "auto-lock" like they do in Elite Dangerous. So aiming is a bit of a challenge because your effectively trying to hit a 2mm square pip (target), on a 24" monitor. Sticks are not the best a precision aiming, thats why mouse and keyboard users will have more precision. But with a stick, you will be able to out-maneuver them every time. You can pull off the most complex maneuvers, that a keyboard and mouse simply cannot. The Thrustmaster Warthog is built in a way, that it is easily disassembled if you should ever want to. Some users replace the grease with a thicker variety. Being able to repair, and mod this stick, justifies the asking price. There are a ton of mods, exensions and how-to video's on modifying this stick. It is a very popular stick, my particular unit is number 32,678, so that means they have sold over 32,000 of these sticks. And that's saying a lot because it's so expensive. Bottom Line: This stick will last you your whole life, because your able to repair and get parts for it. I am not going to go over the software much, because other reviewers have touched on it quite a bit. Some people don't use the software at all, but i think that's a mistake. Thrustmaster's software is the most powerful control software to ever be written. You can do anything with this stick, it has it's own full programming language similar to C#. This puts competitors software to shame. I'll end this long review with a glowing recommendation and i will also mention that Thrustmaster support is A+ should you ever need it. I really wish Cloud Imperium Games (Makers of Star Citizen) would have worked with Thrustmaster instead of Saitek, because there sticks are so much better. Really, almost everything thrustmaster makes, is the best money can buy, in that price bracket. Stop reading and throw your money at the screen. Thanks for reading. ... show more
