Description

The HOTAS WARTHOG USB dual-throttle joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the "simmer" community. Exchanges and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most specific and precise requirements of the experts. The result is the HOTAS WARTHOG: A replica set of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. From the Manufacturer The HOTAS WARTHOG USB dual-throttle joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the "simmer" community. Exchanges and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most specific and precise requirements of the experts. The result is the HOTAS WARTHOG: a replica set of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.Weighing in at more than 14 lbs and using metal for the joystick, throttle handles, and bases, the HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is physically imposing. When you take into account the 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), it becomes clear that the HOTAS WARTHOG is in a class of its own. Buttons and triggers require pressure identical to that of an actual airplane. View larger Extensive controls and programmable LEDs create the most realistic experience possible. View largerThe Most Precise and Feature-Filled Joystick You Can GetThe joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a "Point Of View" hat. It provides extreme precision, thanks to the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensor system it employs: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints). What's more, pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane – a true first in the world of joysticks. Particular attention has been paid to freedom of use for simmers, with the joystick's handle being detachable (so that it can also be used on the base of the HOTAS Cougar joystick, if the user wishes), and its base being detachable as well (allowing you to install the joystick in a cockpit). A carefully designed dual throttle system allows independent control of two engines. View larger A physically imposing joystick, the HOTAS WARTHOG is in a class all its own. View larger Pull and Push Throttle System with Disengageable AfterburnerThe throttle component has also been very carefully designed, with a dual throttle system allowing for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attach the 2 throttles together, or else keep them independent of one another. The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivaled precision. Switching to the Idle and Afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. The Afterburner detent is disengageable, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting. The throttles feature a total of 17 action buttons, a "Point Of View" hat and a "mouse hat / slew control".Control Panel with 5 Programmable LEDsThe product's final mechanical component, the control panel, provides an extensive number and variety of controls. It includes a friction wheel, allowing users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own taste. It also features backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate for night flights; the 5 programmable LEDs are also a plus for use in dark or low-light conditions. The base includes a "trim wheel" and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure.Innovative, High-Performance T.A.R.G.E.T. SoftwareThe HOTAS WARTHOG joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers, chief among them being the all-new HOTAS WARTHOG, but also the MFD Cougar, the HOTAS Cougar and the T.16000M.T.A.R.G.E.T lets users create programming configurations which are either more or less complex, depending on the user's taste, simply by using their mouse and the Drag and Drop principle. Three different programming levels are available: "Basic", to get started; "Advanced", to employ more advanced functions; and finally "Script", to harness the full power of the software. It should also be noted that in this software suite, the standard Script language has been totally rewritten to provide more flexibility, new functions and virtually unlimited possibilities.T.A.R.G.E.T is more than an interface: it's also a powerful software application capable of simulating virtual devices such as a keyboard, joystick, mouse, and so on, in order to simulate all of the actions required for these devices' use. These actions are measured on the axes and buttons of the physical controllers, but sent to software applications via a virtual controller.In this way, T.A.R.G.E.T allows for total interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use as many different presets as controllers. Finally, T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too. Super-stable, weighted base (over 3kg)

    • Best Flight Stick, IMO
Style: Warthog Bundle
This isn't your average flight stick. Oh no. This is a flight simmer's dream. After doing my due diligence on it, I already expected it to be high quality before I purchased it, but after receiving it, it was evident that that bar was raised even higher. First off, these things are heavy. If you're like me and like your tech to have a bit of heft, then these are for you. Even the UPS guy was like, "What did you order, gym weights?" When I saw they had bolt holes drilled into them I sort of figured they need a permanent mount. Nope! Rest assured, once you put these puppies in place, they're not moving anywhere. You're not just gonna toss these aside when you're done with your aeronautic adventures. And although the wide plate underneath the flight stick takes up a decent amount of space, it prevents any tipping, even in the most chaotic of dogfights. Software Controller It comes with control software that allows you to set up different configurations for use in different applications. So you no longer need to reprogram buttons from one sim to another. You'll have your DCS, MSFS2020, or Star Citizen controls already programmed so you can just load them up and go. The software also gives you the ability to brighten or dim the LEDs on the throttle control. Flight Stick Modeled after the U.S. Air Force's A-10, this stick gives you the sensation of being in control of the actual aircraft. In DCS World, you have 1-to-1 control, so you no longer have to send commands to keys on your keyboard for those extra buttons. You can also purchase a separate stick modeled on the F/A-18. Throttle Control Lights, switches, and LED goodness reside within the box that houses the dual throttle controllers. The controllers have the option of working separately or as a single unit. It also comes with a removeable throttle stopper installed so you don't accidentally shut off your engines mid-flight or bump them into afterburner. It also has a friction controller that allows you to control how much resistance you feel on the throttle. Make it stiff when flying those huge air busses in MSFS2020 or loosen them up for fast response in fighter jets in DCS. Price - $$$ The price stood me off for a long time on these controllers, but once they were within my budget I jumped at the chance. While they won't appreciate in value, I do consider them an investment in my flight sim endeavors because I know I won't need another controller for a long, long time. PROS Well built, precision manufacturing Programmable configurations Heavy and durable CONS Price Takes up a decent amount of space ... show more

    • Great Setup But Heavy
Style: Warthog Bundle
So when I finally bit the bullet and decided to buy this thing I thought for sure I'd regret it later. I'll admit I still kinda do but the more I used it the more I fell in love with it. My biggest surprise when it finally got to my door was just the pure weight of the thing, I mean both units together weigh nearly 14 pounds. But, if you think of it other then maybe several buttons and the handle part of the throttle it is a complete metal construction so I guess that's to be expected. Personally I really wanted this for all the buttons and mini joysticks which may sound like a waste but how many setups do you know of that have a total of 51 mappable buttons/actions. Now some of you might think that's a bit Overkill but in Elite: Dangerous I'm using all but 9 of those options. Given most of them don't get used a lot but I've found I hardly need to use my keyboard at all anymore. As for using it, it definitely requires some getting used to. I've probably had this for about a month now and still haven't fully mastered it yet. But it does allow for some very precise adjustments in times when that's very important. And really its just a lot of fun to use. Everything moves so smoothly with almost no bumps due to the joystick having a very slight one when in it's upright position. But other then that it definitely makes me feel like I'm flying a real spacecraft/plane. Plus all the toggle switches give a very satisfying click that I just can't seem to get enough of. Now some disadvantages/cons that I've so far encountered with this setup is a lack of yaw (z axis left and right) on the joystick, the amount of USB slots it takes up, and really the weight of it. The lack of yaw isn't really that big of an issue since the throttle does have a mouse hat that I can rebind it to without it acting like a full left to right button press. Of course this could also be fixed by buying some flight pedals but this type of immersion isn't for everyone plus I don't really have the space/setup for it. The USB usage probably isn't that big of a deal for some people but I game on a laptop so losing two slots is a big deal for me. Mostly because two of the four slots mine has are already occupied by my mouse and RGB mousepad. I mean I could go out and buy a USB hub or something to make up for it but then that's more money down the drain. And my last con I've encountered so far is pretty much the weight of it. Yes it's nice cause its very stable and definitely wont move around unless you want it to, but again I game on a laptop while might I add mostly laying on my bed. So whenever I need/have to get up it requires me to move it around a lot. But this is really just a personal issue since I don't have an actual desk/desktop setup yet. Would I recommend this to anyone? Well yes and no. Honestly if you want one of, if not thee best joystick-throttle setup's out there then look no further. But if you still can't get past that heffty price tag then I'm sure you can find something for a much cheaper price, I'll be it a much cheaper feeling one but still. And really this setup is targeted at people that want the best immersion in their games. I mean the joystick can literally be taken off it's mount and used in a real cockpit for crying out loud. Nevertheless this is still a great setup and if you do decide to buy it I can almost guarantee that you won't be disappointed. ... show more
