well, let me say that this is the by far the most impressive piece of hardware i've ever owned

Absolutely amazing piece of sim equipment

The Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog is one of the best pieces of hardware I ever owned

For such an amazing piece of hardware the software really sucks

I considered every practical alternative out there - the Warthog is not an inexpensive piece of equipment

this piece of equipment simply blows all others I have owned out of the water

A very powerful piece of software indeed, but I still am afraid to use any of the other preconfigured programs in it like Black Shark because I dont know if, or how it would revert back to its default state

Not having to fight with a dead-zone makes a big difference!As others have written it's mildly disappointing that the throttle handles are part plastic, but that aside both pieces are comfortable in the hand, the buttons are well placed (thank the original designers for that), and the weighted bases mean you probably won't need to bolt these down

Great piece

In such a case, take a deep relaxing breath, lean forward slightly, and pat yourself on the back for purchasing such a fine piece of gaming/flightsim hardware

An amazing piece of gaming goodness

The Throttle is a amazing piece of engineering and is a testimate to thrustmaster's design team.

But I wanted to play Digital Combat Simulator, so I figured I'd buy whatever the best piece of gear to do that is

Outstanding piece(s) of equipment.

Otherwise this is an outstanding piece of equipment

It;s a fantastic piece of engineering.

Since this review was written, the hat switches on the stick started to feel loose, so I felt around, and the top metal piece of the stick (that holds in the circuit board with most of the buttons) has started to COME OFF

By now I guess you're bored of this lengthy rant, so I'll sum it up thusly: the TM Warthog is an awesome piece of engineering

In person it looked like a large comical piece of plastic

, I well tell I got for two reasons

But the worse is after they deceived me for around 2 weeks of pointless e-mails and asked me to send a video proving there was a problem, they still refused haven`t even sent me the measle $5 spare button for me to replace

if you dropped any part of this system on your foot, you'd probably break something.easy to set up (plug-n-play pretty much), works great with elite dangerous.the TARGET software is total s***e.

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.
