If you like flight simulators, the stick you. This replica of the A10 integrates automatically with "DCS A10-C" However, it is possible to change easily the throttle to act with an afterburner effect (like the jets in "DCS FC2" for example).
Software TARGET Hotas can adapt each button has a specific effect quite simply, there is a fairly present community on the net, it is for example possible to use all the buttons on "IL: CoD" which makes it piloting lovely spitfire. The TARGET software also includes pre-configurations for quite some fighting titles like "DCS Blackshark" (combat chopper simulation of KA-50) or IL.
The only "defect" is that there is no axis to simulate the rudders, but at worst this can simply be bypassed using the hat of the stick (although it is a bit less precise).
If you want a total immersion: the Hotas Warthog + + rudders of TrackIR + VAC (Voice control of radios), and there is the foot :)
If you are beginner + (you know you want to invest for fun), it should also stick because you do rudders will not be necessary to start and most especially: it is extremely nice to have everything at hand without having to go search her keyboard :)
Good flight to all :)
