Questions & Answers

Are you able to rotate the stick using either the Z or twist axes?

Adding this to the Hotas Warthog (you can find it on Amazon by searching ASIN B00371R8P4) will give you an additional flight stick. As a result, this product does not have a twist, since it is designed to be used alongside rudder pedals like the Thrustmaster TFRP and Thrustmaster TPR.

Physically, it differs from the A10 joystick, but do we notice any differences in handling or feel?

There is no such thing as a As for the 16C flight stick, it is the same thing as the A-10 There is a TM Warthog Hotas flight stick with the 10C rating. One that is physically different with a different feel and button layout is the F-type. All of them feel, look, and feel the same, but the F-type has the same exact dimensions but a different look and feel, too A flight stick with a diameter of 18.

The base can be used with the grip, will there ever be an option? The A- is not necessary for me How many grips are there?

The idea of being lied to does not appeal to me This stick was refurbished and sold as new, but it was used/used
3/5

A TM F-ale was sent to me I immediately suspected that there was something amiss when I received the 16C stick in a box with a clean guarantee seal over a broken guarantee seal. While I saw that the original packaging for the stick seemed to be in good condition, when I opened up the inner box, I saw that the included paperwork (instruction booklet and quick start slip) wasn't included in the inner lid pocket as it would have been if it were Even packing it correctly was not taken into consideration. It appears that the stick itself is clean and functional, but the attachment screw ring showed signs of rough wear, as if it had been dropped or had been If it had been packed by TM, it would be unlikely to have passed QA checks. Let's be clear I don't care if refurb stuff is sold If you buy refurbs all the time, I am all for it. However, if you label it "NEW", you are not doing it right. It frustrates me that this was done. I'm sorry for the low stars, but I don't like it.

A Thrustmaster product can be delivered in a poor state, yet it is advertised as a "premier" product Currently, 100% of the systems are functional
4/5

At a price point of this price, it's ridiculous to have QA leave their staff in a poop-filled state The condition of the building is poor. I find it funny since there is a little sticker on the box that says "QC passed", but that clearly The review has been updated a little This is the first one I posted, I rushed to get the order in. The product turned out to be faulty, and it was sent I am extremely impressed with the grip.

Ergonomic is not the word that comes to mind
3/5

TM offers a quality product, however, I disagree that it is too intent on replicating the official F/A-based measurements The number of sticks is 18. As a result, you can create an excellent home cockpit by using their product. In general, the older Warthog/Cougar stick is a better fit for a simmer who wants a HOTAS setup that can be used for many aircraft. The Warthog won out in the end, so I returned In my opinion, TM should redesign this product to make it more ergonomic, even if it means sacrificing its status as a pure replica. Pros - The construction is sturdy and durable - The Warthog has a larger selection of switches and buttons that feel and respond more quickly compared with the Hat. The feel of the handle and the center of gravity are exceptional - The zoom switch is an excellent addition. *Cons*- There are some minor glitches in the UI. Because the paddle switch is so small (half the size of the Warthog), you cannot hold it down to reach any of the hat switches while holding it - I was unable to use it as a modifier. It has the same issue with the pinkie switch, as it is out of the center. It feels like the second stage trigger is stuck or broken (it is not smooth like in the Warthog)*- The Warthog does not have a base for your hand to rest on.

An absolute requirement for any DCS F/A The 18th or the This module consists of 8 B Harrier modules
5/5

You know exactly what you're getting with this stick if you own the Thrustmaster Warthog I'm very impressed with the build quality, and the feel and weight feel incomparable to other products in this class. There are automatic imports that result in the buttons showing up in DCS, and the interface is very simple Since I predominantly fly the Harrier, I bought this stick for it and can say that it is close to the actual stick you would use with that module.

The biggest improvements this stick has over the A- will be the I-bolt attachments. The Warthog stick is a push button that's located Out of 4 there are two that are perfect A push-down button can be found on way hats as well. The next step is the WP An increment button is followed by a 2-way wheel by clicking. Despite it not being part of the actual flying stick, this function is extremely useful when controlling FOV and zoom on a TGP or Maverick. This is a stick that one should have if they are an avid Harrier pilot.

The quality is very good, and the down-compatibility is excellent
5/5

As for me, I bought this one and installed it on my vintage Cougar base, which I like better than my Warthog desk holder. I had no problems with its functions. It has the same number of programmable buttons as the original Cougar, but they are laid The feedback that two of the hats now have is awesome. And the second trigger has a very positive overpressure and feedback that makes it easy to activate.

Existent) customer service
3/5

The stick works. Take the time to read every As a result of getting the connection cable stuck in the base (I own a Verpil WarBRD), I had it for about six months. As a result, both the base and the stick were rendered As soon as I contacted Verpil, they sent me a replacement cable for the base, but Thrustmaster had a different response. I had a stick projector problem about four months ago and have been trying to fix it ever since. I took a picture of it when Thrustmaster initially contacted me, and then I didn't hear from him. My own research helped me figure out exactly what part I needed after I spent over a month researching. Inquired if the item was for sale and got a reply. that it can take up to 8 days to respond due to the COVID. I've been living with COVID for the past eight months, and I think this company is milking it for poor customer service. I haven't had the controller working in eight months, so I don't know why it won't work. Do you covid? It is possible, I think. 1) They don't seem to Over a thousand dollars have been spent on Thrustmaster controllers, and I won't spend even a dime on them again. If you need a product that is equally priced, of better quality and actually has customer service, I recommend Winwing or Virpil.

Grip that is solid
5/5

The first thing that strikes me is the grip. This is a well made and solid product from Thrustmaster, as I have come to expect. As compared to A-type buttons, the A-type buttons have a much better feedback Although the dual stage trigger feels different than what you would expect from an A-frame, other people have reported similar feelings When 10 is released, a trigger is triggered. I will get used to it in no time. The only thing you need to do is upgrade the firmware of your old Grip Base to version 12 in order for it to know what grip you have attached. The software for this is only for the target and I don't think you need to upgrade anything if everything is set from within the game's controller settings. The addition is all in all very nice.

The item Eagle Dynamics needs for There are two different Harrier aircrafts 18 and 18
5/5

My Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS is much improved with this addition. There is only one thing missing from the stick, and that is a rotation of several degrees counterclockwise.
