Thrustmaster has built a top notch flight stick called the HOTAS Warthog. Let us take a look at this flight stick, and see how well it performs.

You will not find a better flight stick; Absolute must for serious DCS Warthog pilots and home cockpit enthusiasts. However I can not recomend it to those who use flight sims on a casual level purely on a cost basis. Saitek, CH products etc..

Replica of the A10C Warthog flight stick and throttle panel Well built and all metal except the throttles. Heavy duty switches and buttons Heavy feel compared to light floaty cheaper Sticks. Extremely smooth stick and throttle.

Hand fatigue can occur during long flights, pros and cons of a heaver feeling stick Large base plate on the flight stick takes a lot of space, would be difficult to use on smaller desk tops Price; Although arguable as a weakness as quality is top notch and I'm a believer of you get what you pay for

With the software supplied by Thrustmaster, you have several configuration options other than the standards that both come with the Joystick and downloadable. It feels like a real stick and response time is great.

The best Hotas on the market without a shadow of a doubt. Yes it is expensive, but the quality in comparison to some of the cheaper hotas's available is beyond compare. Only downside to this is that you really need a pair of rudders to gain the most from the Hotas as unlike cheaper models it doesn;t...

Amount of Programmable buttons; Build Quality

No Twist Rudder

Excellent equipment easy to control and precision absolutely fantastic

Many ways to setup it. A better construct of the joystick eleminate little flays of the Cougar. Many trigger to put all your need on the HOTAS and forget mouse and keyboard. The price is higher, but the tough build is amazing: it will survive you.

The toughter and best hotas ever made

I have to seperate two weld on the cursor

I purchased this on a whim and ended up getting drawn into the flight sim world. This throttle/stick combo has a very solid feel, very heavy, metal, and comes with TARGET software to configure just about anything. I've used it thus far with DCS World and Prepar3d. Excellent.

Best price for this joystick/throttle combo I've found. Ordering was easy and shipping was donemquickly. Very satisfied.

This joystick set up is amazing. A prefect companion for DCS and flexible enough to suit any flight sim or space sim game. For the helicopter simmers out there you can even get extensions. Build quality is excellent. Can't comment on software as its basically already set up in DCS world which is what I use mine for. Overall a 10/10

This is a very high quality and awesome piece of equipment if you're wanting to do simulators. If you have the money then this is great. The one downside to this for me is the lack of twisting joystick. Soon I will get some pedals but would have been nice to have the twist for being at such a high price. But it's very sturdy (and heavy) and mostly made of metal.
