This item is a joystick specially designed for playing flight simulations. The Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick is a very realistic joystick replica, which is based on the flight stick in the U.S. Air Force fighter A10C. Due to the fantastic feel and look, every user immediately has the feeling of truly sitting in a fighter jet. All buttons and knobs have a fantastic pressure point and are made of high-quality material throughout. In total, the FlightStick offers 19 ActionButtons plus an 8-way POV head switch.
There are also two 8-way head switches with pushbuttons, a 4-way head switch with pushbutton, a double trigger made of metal, as well as two pushbuttons and two pinkie pushbuttons. The FlightStick is connected via the USB port and weighs just over 3 kilograms. Inside the joystick, 3D magnetic sensors work with an almost surgical precision that should never fade. At the same time, the joystick has a 16-bit resolution, which in this case means that the joystick can detect and convert 65,536 x 65,536 different values of movement position. A five-way spring system ensures consistent and linear tension on the stick, with no dead zones. In addition, the FlightStick is also compatible with T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). This software allows you to test, configure and program the Thrustmaster joystick. The software can also be operated according to different levels of difficulty with Basic, Advanced and Script modes. The latter even allows to program complete scripts and thus to completely individualize the FlightStick.
