HOTAS Warthog Product Description

The HOTAS WARTHOG USB dual-throttle joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the "simmer" community. Exchanges and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most specific and precise requirements of the experts.
The result is the HOTAS WARTHOG: a replica set of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.

The Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG Joystick

The Most Precise and Feature-Filled Joystick You Can Get
The joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a "Point Of View" hat.
It provides extreme precision, thanks to the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensor system it employs: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints).
What's more, pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane � a true first in the world of joysticks.
Particular attention has been paid to freedom of use for simmers, with the joystick's handle being detachable (so that it can also be used on the base of the HOTAS Cougar joystick, if t

Pull and Push Throttle System with Disengageable Afterburner

The throttle component has also been very carefully designed, with a dual throttle system allowing for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attach the 2 throttles together, or else keep them independent of one another.
The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivaled precision.
Switching to the Idle and Afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. The Afterburner detent is disengageable, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting.
The throttles feature a total of 17 action buttons, a "Point Of View" hat and a "mouse hat / slew control".

Control Panel with 5 Programmable LEDs

The product's final mechanical component, the control panel, provides an extensive number and variety of controls.
It includes a friction wheel, allowing users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own taste.
It also features backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate for night flights; the 5 programmable LEDs are also a plus for use in dark or low-light conditions.
The base includes a "trim wheel" and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure.
