Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG - PC - Joystick + Power control replica HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) of the U.S. fighter plane. Air Force A-10C

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick
The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick looks physically imposing thanks to its over 6.5 kg weight and the metal construction of the joystick, power levers and bases. The HOTAS WARTHOG is a unique product, with 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-way hat switches, each with an integrated push button (the world's first joystick to incorporate such a function).

The most accurate and feature-rich joystick available
The joystick incorporates 19 action buttons, plus a “Point OfView” hat. It provides extreme precision, thanks to the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensor system that uses: 16-bit precision (65,536 x 65,536 values), without gimbal suspensions. In addition, pressing the buttons and triggers of the joystick requires pressure identical to that required in a real aircraft, something unprecedented in the world of joysticks. Special attention has been paid to freedom of use for simulation enthusiasts, and therefore the joystick lever can be detached, as well as its base (to allow the user to install the joystick in a booth).

Pull and Push power system with removable Afterburner
The power component has also been designed in detail, with a dual power system that allows independent control of 2 motors: a locking system makes it easy for the user to join the 2 power controls or keep them independent of each other. The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16,384 values ​​on each throttle) provides unique precision. The switch to Idle and Afterburner holders is done using a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. Afterburner's detent is removable, so that users can perfectly adapt the power control to the type of aircraft they are flying. The throttles incorporate a total of 17 action buttons, a "Point of View" hat and a "mouse hat / slewcontrol".

Sistema de potencia Pull and Push con Afterburner desmontable

El componente de potencia también se ha diseñado al detalle, con un sistema de potencia doble que permite el control independiente de 2 motores: un sistema de bloqueo facilita al usuario juntar los 2 mandos de potencia o mantenerlos independientes el uno del otro. La tecnología de sensor magnético utilizada para los mandos de potencia (resolución de 14 bits, con 16.384 valores en cada mando de potencia) proporciona una precisión unica. El cambio a los detentores de Idle y Afterburner se realiza mediante un sistema Pull and Push, para lograr un realismo aún mayor. El detentor de Afterburner es desmontable, para que los usuarios puedan adaptar perfectamente el control de potencia al tipo de avión que estén pilotando. Los mandos de potencia incorporan un total de 17 botones de acción, un hat"Point ofView" y un "mouse hat/ slewcontrol".

Control panel with 5 programmable LEDs
The final mechanical component of the product, the control panel, provides a large number of highly varied controls. It includes a friction wheel, with which users can manually adjust the resistance of the throttles to their liking. It also incorporates backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate on night flights; The 5 programmable LEDs are also useful when using it in dark or low light conditions. The base includes a "trim wheel" and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with very realistic pressure.

Thrustmaster Expert Flight Ecosystem
These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used together with one another: a complete ecosystem that includes the Hotas Warthog, the * TFRP helm and the MFD * (Multi-FunctionalDisplay) cockpit panels. These items are also compatible with the advanced T.A.R.G.E.T.programming software.

* They are sold separately.

Advanced T.A.R.G.E.T programming software on PC
The deadliest weapon in the HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is known as the T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software package with which users can test, configure and program Thrustmaster remotes.

In this way, T.A.R.G.E.T allows full interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in the simulators, and the use of a single predefined configuration (preset) for all controllers, instead of having to use as many different presets as there are controllers. Lastly, T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for popular games (both recent and old), and also allows users to create new presets.

Software de programación avanzada T.A.R.G.E.T en PC

El arma más mortífera del joystick HOTAS WARTHOG se conoce como T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T es un paquete de software con el que los usuarios pueden probar, configurar y programar mandos de Thrustmaster.

De este modo, T.A.R.G.E.T permite la interacción total entre distintos mandos USB de Thrustmaster, con configuraciones simplificadas en los simuladores, y el uso de una única configuración predefinida (preset) para todos los mandos, en lugar de tener que utilizar tantas presetsdiferentes como mandos. Por último, T.A.R.G.E.T incluye configuraciones predefinidas integradas para los juegos más conocidos (tanto recientes como antiguos), y también permite que los usuarios creen presets nuevas.
