Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick Joystick
Enjoy a realistic military flight experience with the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick, a premium simulation joystick that faithfully replicates the control stick of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. Officially licensed, it combines all-metal construction, high-precision magnetic sensors and 19 programmable action buttons. Its weighted base and detachable grip allow for desktop use or integration into a customized simulation cockpit.
Official A-10C Flight Stick Replica
Developed to deliver a flight experience similar to that of a real military aircraft, the HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick replicates the shape and control layout of the A-10C flight stick. Its robust construction and mechanical controls contribute to greater immersion in flight simulators.
- Official replica of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft flight stick.
- All-metal grip provides a sturdy, realistic feel.
- Detachable grip compatible with the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar system.
- Button and trigger resistance inspired by real aircraft controls.
- Ergonomic design suited to demanding flight simulations.
High-Precision H.E.A.R.T. Magnetic Technology
The joystick features H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), which uses three-dimensional Hall effect magnetic sensors. These sensors measure movements with exceptional precision without physical contact within the sensing system, minimizing wear and helping maintain accuracy over time.
- 3D Hall effect magnetic sensors.
- 16-bit resolution on both axes.
- 65,536 x 65,536 position values for precise movement detection.
- Contactless sensing technology ensures long-lasting precision.
- Mechanical system with 5 coil springs provides firm, linear and smooth resistance.
- No physical dead zone in the sensing system.
- Precise control of pitch and roll movements.
19 Action Buttons and Multidirectional Controls
The HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick features a comprehensive selection of programmable controls, allowing pilots to manage various flight functions directly from the joystick without constantly relying on a keyboard or mouse.
- 19 fully programmable action buttons.
- 1 eight-way Point of View (POV) hat switch.
- 2 additional eight-way hat switches.
- 1 four-way hat switch with push-button function.
- 1 two-stage metal trigger.
- 2 push buttons.
- 2 pinkie-operated push buttons.
- Control layout inspired by the genuine A-10C flight stick.
Weighted Metal Base and Versatile Installation
Designed to remain stable even during demanding manoeuvres, the joystick features a sturdy metal base. Its removable plate provides different mounting options depending on the available space and simulation setup.
- Weighted base of more than 3 kg (6.6 lb).
- Detachable metal plate.
- Suitable for desktop use or installation in a compatible simulation cockpit.
- Removable grip facilitates integration into certain customized setups.
- Durable construction designed for extended flight simulation sessions.
Advanced Programming with T.A.R.G.E.T. Software
Thrustmaster T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor) software allows users to customize joystick controls and create profiles tailored to different flight simulators.
- Programming of buttons and control axes.
- Creation and saving of customized profiles.
- Interface for configuring multiple compatible Thrustmaster peripherals.
- Ability to combine several peripherals into a single virtual controller.
- Support for preconfigured profiles for selected simulators.
- Free downloadable software for PC.
