Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG™

The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick and throttle are the result of intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the simmers community. Discussions and studies were constant throughout the product's genesis, in order to offer a joystick that meets the most exacting and specific requirements of these expert users. The result is a set of replicas of the stick, dual throttle and throttle control panel of the US Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.
