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

Five star feel and function, one star reliability. Great joystick and throttle, when it works. I have just returned my HOTAS Warthog Joystick for repairs for the SECOND time. - There is some sort of short causing all the joystick buttons to cycle on and off.

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.

Programmability; Included dual throttle; Exact replica of A-10C Warthog airplane controls; Durable metal construction; Precise; realistic feel

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!

I decided to replace a 14 year old HOTAS system that really worked just fine but I wanted to upgrade my flight rig. I split my time between flight sims and racing sims depending on my current whims.

The first stick i got sent had a problem which felt like something in the gimbal was grinding when i moved it in certain posistions and then gently let it centre again. I got a replacement sent out fairly quickly and I can say this stick is great and what you would expect.
