Overview

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick

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.

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick

Weighing in at more than 14 lbs and using metal for the joystick, throttle handles, and bases, the HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is physically imposing. When you take into account the 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), it becomes clear that the HOTAS WARTHOG is in a class of its own.

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 AccuRateTechnology 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, and its base being detachable as well (allowing you to install the joystick in a cockpit).

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 attaches the 2 throttles together, or else keeps 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.

Thrustmaster expert flying ecosystem

These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the HotasWarthog, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software**.

* Sold separately.

T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC

The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers.

In this way, T.A.R.G.E.T allows for total interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use as many different presets as controllers. Finally, T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too.

Love this! It gives a very realistic feel, overall impressed with the design. Both the throttle and joystick are fairly heavy so they never move when manoeuvring. Its a fantastic product

Intense piece of kit

Reviewed by: Brett

It's a legit replica. All metal construction, super heavy, every button requires INTENTIONAL press, like a real war plane would have. A TON of options for custom controls.

It's very complicated, and incredibly expensive. The software is also complicated.

I kind of dove head first into flight sim stuff and had the Honeycomb kit but wanted something more oriented to fighter jets for Battlefield so this seemed like the logical choice.

TM HOTAS Warthog

Reviewed by: Randall

There is no other joystick/dual throttle setup better than this. It requires two USB ports, has two independent (or connected as one if needed) throttles, and numerous buttons and switches as true-to-life as is possible to a real USAF A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft. It was designed with DCS A-10C military grade combat flight simulator in mind and, because I fly that simulator, I would agree wholeheartedly with the advertisements: perfect reproduction! I got one of the first units available in Canada several years ago and, to this day, it works great. It uses T.A.R.G.E.T software to set up profiles on games other than DCS WORLD but I only use it for DCS, so I don't use T.A.R.G.E.T at all. Most pilots in DCS do not use T.A.R.G.E.T because it's not needed. Players of other games have used it happily. I, personally, will never fly with anything else.

Expensive. Very expensive. But, for me and my hobby, this precision instrument is very much worth every penny. I have had mine for several years and have not, unfortunately, covered it when not in use. Dust in my apartment is an apparent problem. My flights are set up to be extremely responsive to joystick input and, over the years, dust has caused a very tiny bit of what is called "stiction" (friction when trying to start movement) in the just the joystick part. Because my flights are usually in precision formation flying, that minuscule bit of stiction is noticeable. If you get one, when not in use, cover it to keep out dust.

Top of the line USB hardware without an equal. Expensive and worth it. For the serious gamer only.
