## Long description

The Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick is a replica A-10C metal flight stick designed for PC flight simulation. It features a detachable all-metal handle and a removable metal plate for desk or cockpit mounting, a super-stable weighted base (over 3 kg) and wired USB connectivity with upgradeable firmware. The joystick includes realistic button and trigger pressure and a total of 19 action buttons plus an 8-way point-of-view hat, providing precise control for demanding flight-sim use.
Advantages
The flight stick uses H.E.A.R.T. (Hall Effect AccuRate Technology) with 3D magnetic sensors that provide surgical precision and do not degrade over time. It offers 16-bit resolution (65,536 x 65,536 values) and a five-coil spring system for firm, linear and smooth tension without dead zones. The unit is also compatible with other Thrustmaster HOTAS controllers such as the HOTAS Cougar, and supports the free T.A.R.G.E.T. software suite for drag-and-drop programming, multiple programming levels and firmware updates.
