The THRUSTMASTER HOTAS Warthog flight stick is a truly powerful tool for all flight simulator enthusiasts. A joystick replica of the US Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. It has convincing quality, high equipment and impeccable authenticity, providing a unique flight experience.

It provides extreme accuracy thanks to the HEART HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensor system: 16-bit accuracy (65536 x 65536 values), without gimbals. What's more, pressing the joystick's buttons and triggers requires the same amount of pressure as a real airplane - a real novelty in the world of joysticks.

Special attention was paid to freedom of use for aircraft pilots, as both the handle and the base of the joystick are removable (allowing the joystick to be installed in the cockpit).

These products are part of a family of flight simulation peripherals that work together: a complete ecosystem that includes the Hotas Warthog flight stick, Hotas Warthog dual throttles*, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (multifunction display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with TARGET advanced programming software**.
* Can be purchased separately.

The lethal weapon of the HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is TARGET (Thrustmaster Advanced Programming Graphical EdiTor). TARGET is a software package that allows users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers. TARGET is more than an interface: it is also a powerful software application that can control virtual devices such as keyboard, joystick, mouse, etc. to simulate all the operations required to use these tools. These actions are measured on the axes and buttons of physical controllers, but sent to software applications through a virtual controller.

It has a total of 19 action buttons, plus an 8-way "point of view" button:
- 1x 8-way "point of view" button
- 2x 8-way button
- 1x 4-way push button
- 1x metal double trigger
- 2x push button
- 2x little finger push buttons
