Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog svart joystick PC

U.S. Air Force A-10C replica HOTAS™ joystick pack reproduces the A-10C attack aircraft throttle-and-stick layout. The set includes dual replica throttles, a replica joystick and a dedicated control panel. Components feature HallEffect H.E.A.R.T. magnetic sensors, high-resolution input, USB connectivity with upgradeable firmware, weighted bases for stability and detachable metal handles for configurable desk- or cockpit-style mounting.

Advantages

The twin throttles provide 14-bit resolution per throttle, adjustable friction, metal hand rests, locking system and realistic idle and afterburner detents with pull-and-push operation. The joystick uses 3D magnetic sensors and 16-bit resolution with a five-coil spring system for stable, linear centering. The control panel integrates a weighted base, backlit functions and five programmable LEDs. All modules offer realistic button and switch pressure, numerous action buttons and multiple hat switches for comprehensive control.

How to use

Connect each module to the host PC via USB, install the T.A.R.G.E.T. software to detect and configure devices, then update firmware if prompted. Use the adjustable friction and locking systems on the throttles to set desired resistance and engage or disengage detents for IDLE and AFTERBURNER as required. Attach the detachable metal handle or exchange it with a HOTAS COUGAR handle if needed. Position the weighted bases or mount the metal plate for cockpit-style use. Assign functions and maps in T.A.R.G.E.T. using drag-and-drop, or create advanced and scripted profiles for specific simulators.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep firmware and T.A.R.G.E.T. software up to date, calibrate axes after installation, and secure the weighted bases on a stable surface to avoid movement during use.
