Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick and Controller for PC flight simulation game - Black (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

This couple joystick / throttle levers worth its weight in cacaouètes! And given its weight, that's a lot of cacaouètes. I bought this joystick after acquiring the simulator DCS A-10C, very demanding, which models the same plane which inspired this. It makes sense in this game, but not only. Demonic axis precision makes a nice controller for both airplanes and helicopters, where we spend time correcting cyclic and collective pitch (typically mapped to a throttle).
Compared to the model of the aircraft A-10c, the "original" knob control the friction throttle becomes an additional axis (slider), friction is controlled with another discreet adjustable front panel and an additional button (the trigger on the little finger) appears on the joystick.
It is possible to activate a post-combustion threshold on the throttles to control the aircraft in feature (this is not the case of the A-10) by returning a stop, and the allen key required is provided.
So yes, it is an expensive controller (the price of two TrackIR Pro 5), high-end, and without pedals. But when you search accuracy and realism, not wishing to have a third axis on the joystick. It also requires two USB ports, one for the throttles block and one for the joystick. Which, by adding horns and track IR, can lead to FOUR USB jacks required!
Last, Thrustmaster thought designers cockpits and the joystick can be unscrewed from the big and heavy plate that accompanies it to be screwed directly into a cockpit.
