When I opened up the box for the stick, I noticed that the paperwork that came with it (the instruction manual and quick start slip) was just sitting there wadded up on top of the packing foam, instead of in the inner lid pocket as it would have been should the stick have been brand Apparently, they did not even bother to package Though the stick itself was clean and functional, the attachment screw ring showed signs of wear like it had been dropped or had been tightened rough. In the event that it were packaged by TM, it probably wouldn't have passed QA checks. Let me tell you, I don't care if there are refurbished items on this page. Heck, I buy remanufactured all the time! However, if you sell it as "NEW", you are selling it in the wrong place. It's a little disappointing because of the low rating, but I apologize for the low rating.
I wonder how a "premier product" could be delivered in a this state The state of total functionality is complete. In the case of a product at this price point, it is ridiculous that QA would leave so much to be desired The condition is poor. Funny how there is a little sticker on there that says "QC passed," but of course that is incorrect. In my review, I have adjusted a little Here is the initial post, It was a mistake in haste to add the star. The product was faulty and the return has been handled. I am amazed at how well this grip works.
Even though it is a quality product, I think there is a lot of effort put into replicating The number of sticks is 18. As a result, they produce a terrific product when it comes to building a full-featured The old Warthog and Cougar stick would be a really good option for your average simmer who wants a versatile HOTAS setup for all types of aircraft. End up returning it and sticking with the Warthog instead. TM should redesign this product to make it more ergonomic, even if it means losing the status of a pure replica. Advantages of - Constructed with sturdy materials - Switches and buttons on the Warthog have a more tactile feel and response than those on the Hat- It has excellent feel and a center of gravity that doesn't tip over. Zoom switch is nice and useful while at the same time being cons - Because the paddle switch is so small (half the size of a Warthog), I have no idea how they could use it as a modifier since you can't hold it down while reaching the hat buttons - Having the same problem with the pinkie switch since it is off center - I also do not like the feel of the 2nd stage trigger, as it feels stuck or broken (not smooth like in the Warthog)*- Unlike in the Warthog, there is no base on which to rest your hand.
It is the same gamestick as the Thrustmaster Warthog stick, so you'll know exactly what you're getting. There's no comparison in the build quality, and it feels and weighs much better than similar models. There are many buttons that all import into DCS and it is tend to fly the Harrier the most, so I bought this stick for that specific flight module. I can say that it is close enough to the Harrier stick you won't notice the difference.
The biggest upgrades over the A- are Those hats have a push button on the Warthog stick. There are 2 out of the 4 Hats have a button that can be pushed down as well. We now move on to The increment button is followed by a click on the 2 way wheel. It is not on the real flight stick, but it is extremely useful, especially on the TGP and Maverick, for controlling the field of view and zoom. This is a stick that should be in the possession of every pilot who regularly uses the Harrier.
As for the Warthog on my desk, I bought this one and installed it on my vintage Cougar base, which sits better. As far as I could tell, all buttons worked. It has the same number of programmable buttons as the Cougar, but they are distributed My favorite new feature of the hats is the very positive feedback that two of them now have. And the second trigger has a VERY positive overpressure or feedback to activate it, which I like a lot.
The stick is okay. Observe the reviews of every other book. The connection cable got stuck in my base (I have a Verpil WarBRD), so I had to ax it after six months. As a result of this, both the stick and the base are no longer useful. In my case, Verpil provided me with a replacement cable for the base as soon as I contacted them, but Thrustmaster was another A few months ago, I am working on getting the stick repaired and I've been trying to do so since. Initially, Thrustmaster had me take a picture of it, and then they never contacted me again. Then, after over a month, I decided to do my own research and figure out When I contacted them about it, they replied that they did sell Each communication has a large disclaimer stating that it may take up to 8 days for a response due to COVID. Having to live with CVID has been the reality of my life for the past eight months, and this company is definitely milking it to cover their poor customer service. The controller still won't work. What is COVID? That's the best I can say. 3) They are clearly not concerned about the people who buy their goods. The Thrustmaster controllers I own cost me over a thousand dollars, and I will not be replacing them any time soon. If you would like a product that is equally priced, better in quality, and actually includes customer service, consider Winwing or Virpil.
As a first impression, the grip is excellent. As I have come to expect from Thrustmaster, this is a solid, well-made product. When compared to the A-keys, the buttons provide a much better level of feedback The trigger on the A-10 is a little different than that of the 10 grip, but others have mentioned it does feel different A trigger is triggered upon release in 10. Nonetheless, I am sure I will get used to it in no time. It is necessary for you to upgrade your old Grip Base firmware to version 12 in order for it to know which grip you currently The only thing you need to upgrade is the target software, and you can set everything from the game's controller assignments without the need to update anything. The addition is all in all very nice.
The Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS has proved to be a great addition to my system. There is just one thing missing, the rotation of the real stick in counter clockwise directions.
