    Thrustmaster 2960720 Hotas Warthog Flight Stick

    • For that particular simulator, the controls are incredible and almost completely eliminate all need for a keyboard.
    • This system is for a gamer that wants the best in control, accuracy and build quality.
    • This product DOES NOT work with all motherboards and chips due to Thrustmaster's HORRIBLE quality control
    • The joystick provides very precise control of the aircraft while in flight
    • Thrustmaster's software is the most powerful control software to ever be written
    • I actually bought the pedals while I still had the x52 because I really hated the twist rudder control.
    • very stable robust controls.
    • The cost, however, of these two items, around $400 is excessive, and being how unique this device is to the A-10, most sim flyers will revert to a less expensive control alternative.
    • Precise controls on throttle and stick
    • -Throttles are sloppy in response - some wiggle room before the axis actually responds and the friction engages, making the friction control pretty pointless since it's impossible to make reasonable adjustments with it enabled.-Mic switch up response is a bit erratic, and push feels really loose.-Slew hat is slow and jittery, with a noticeable lag and an update rate around 4Hz, which is very problematic when trying to do any precise control
    • These controls are absolutely superb!
    • The Slew Control is overly sensitive and not gradual enough.
    • but you get what you pay for....easily configurable controls...happy with purchase, will never have to purchase another stick and throttle in my lifetime.
    • If you enjoy precision and accurate control of military jet aircraft in computer simulation, then you should seriously consider the TM A-10 Warthog HOTAS
    • With it's metal construction and overall build quality, this control will keep me happy in DCS A-10c and other sims for years to come.
    • The controls are silky smooth and very precise - a significant improvement over the Cougar and everything else I've ever used
    • This is an amazing control setup.
    • The control just wasn't precise enough for certain games
    • For the TLDR crowd, here's the skinny:If you are into serious flight combat sims or need ridiculously accurate manual controls, this is what you need
    • It can be pretty simple when using the GUI version, or very complex when using the script version which offer C like operands and even stuff like bit shifting.
