We highly recommend picking up a set of rudder pedals to accompany this HOTAS setup (MFG Crosswind), as there is no cheesy twist rudder axis found with many others on the market.

Excellent construction; quality metal materials used, highly customizable, and excellent configuration software! This is just a plain out fantastic set of flight hardware

The only con I can come up with this HOTAS is that the stock stick centering spring tension is a tad stiff and can become a bit laborious to fly with over 'hours' of flight time; I am a lady pilot, and this stick does wear on my right shoulder after a few hours of intense aerial combat.

In all if you''re looking for the HOTAS to end all HOTAS'' this is it. With all the features and 100% compatibility with DCS A-10C Warthog you just can''t go wrong. I expect to have this HOTAS for many years to come. If you''re serious about simming look no further the Warthog gets the job done.

This is by far the finest HOTAS I''ve ever owned or used; My main stick before was a Saitek X52 HOTAS; Not a bad budget setup but not comparable in terms of quality, feel or looks; I should also point out that I''ve used many high end joysticks over the years like the TM Cougar and a few CH HOTAS''...

I can''t think of any cons really; Some people write in many reviews that it''s too much money but that''s nonsense and not a con; Nice joysticks like this cost money you can''t complain if it''s more than you''re willing to spend

Hotas Warthog is a complete replica of the throttles, control stick, throttles panel and LASTE control panel found, in the real A-10C attack aircraft. All the buttons and HATs have all been engineered so that they have realistic tension values.

High quality setup as it should be due to the price. Easy setup out of the box, everything works perfectly. Amazing joystick for DCS World, especially the A10c.

Emphatically YES!! The stick is of a quality I would expect from the aircraft industry. It is cold steel and will probably last longer than me. The throttle control is like something out of Darth Vaders bathroom and when the green LED's light up, it is an attractive sight.

If military flight sims are your thing then I cannot recommend this item enough. Its a quality item, extremely well built and I am chuffed to bits with it. 11 out of 10!

You will not find a better flight stick; Absolute must for serious DCS Warthog pilots and home cockpit enthusiasts. However I can not recomend it to those who use flight sims on a casual level purely on a cost basis. Saitek, CH products etc..

Replica of the A10C Warthog flight stick and throttle panel Well built and all metal except the throttles. Heavy duty switches and buttons Heavy feel compared to light floaty cheaper Sticks. Extremely smooth stick and throttle.

Hand fatigue can occur during long flights, pros and cons of a heaver feeling stick Large base plate on the flight stick takes a lot of space, would be difficult to use on smaller desk tops Price; Although arguable as a weakness as quality is top notch and I'm a believer of you get what you pay for

With the software supplied by Thrustmaster, you have several configuration options other than the standards that both come with the Joystick and downloadable. It feels like a real stick and response time is great.

The best Hotas on the market without a shadow of a doubt. Yes it is expensive, but the quality in comparison to some of the cheaper hotas's available is beyond compare. Only downside to this is that you really need a pair of rudders to gain the most from the Hotas as unlike cheaper models it doesn;t...

Amount of Programmable buttons; Build Quality

No Twist Rudder

Excellent equipment easy to control and precision absolutely fantastic
