User questions & answers
Question: | How much does it cost |
Answer: | 279 |
Question: | When will this product actually be available to buy? Are they keeping the supply low on purpose to inflate the price |
Answer: | There were so many orders at once that they ran out of stock quickly and have to manufacture more. The price is being inflated because of how few are left on the market. The ones you see here are the ones people managed to buy early and resell. |
Question: | Is this ever going to be available at not double the msrp |
Answer: | You have to check for availability on a regular basis. I bought it a few weeks ago for less than $100 delivered from a reliable seller. Today, that same exact seller has it for sale at almost $175.00. When the price goes down, act quickly, because the bargains don't last for long. |
Question: | When will pre-orders ship from Amazon |
Answer: | If its a pre-order from TCA that's recent, it'll ship around Feb 2021. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this good for Elite Dangerous |
Answer: | This is very good for Elite Dangerous. I upgraded from a Thrustmaster HOTAS X and am so very glad I did. I can finally be viable with just the joystick. I have two friends that use this as well, and they both use VR so using a keyboard also is not a good option. With this setup, they no longer have to worry about using anything other than this setup. |
Question: | How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick |
Answer: | There is no cord between them. The each have their own USB cord. And if you have a game that needs then to look like one device, the TARGET software can do that. |
Question: | What's the difference between this and the Logitech Extremem 3d pro |
Answer: | The coincidence is that I have both of them and USE both of them (Dual stick setup) for a game called Star Citizen. I bought the 3D Pro a few years ago and just got hte FCS last December. The main difference is the fluidity of movement from one axial direction to the other. While it may not sound as important, it made a big difference for me in-game. Of course there are more buttons (the 3D Pro has 6 buttons on the left on its base while the FCS has 6 on each side of the base). But in terms of functionality, I'd have to say that the FCS is more comfortable. Also if you're one who does not like the "thumb" rest, you can remove it and replace it with one of the FCS's non-thumb grip which is instead, in-line with the actual stick. This is provided in the box as well. In conclusion, I'd have to say that the FCS would be a good choice. I don't regret my 3D Pro purchase, but if it stopped working, I'd get a second FCS immediately. But for now, the only reason why I'm not getting a 2nd FCS is that the 3D Pro works great still, but does not feel as comfortable as my FCS. Hope I answered well and wasn't sounding like a Thrustmaster advertiser LOL. |
Question: | Is this the model that was developed with Frontier for Elite Dangerous |
Answer: | Yes, also Elite Dangerous has a built-in profile to get you started. http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/T16000FCS/Mapping-stationT16000MHotas.jpg You can work from the default settings to reassign buttons to your preferences. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this work great with Elite: Dangerous |
Answer: | It works great with Elite Dangerous. I have used it for about 2 months. Unfortunately, my number 3 button and the right hat switch stopped working. I used neither switch very much. I'm awaiting a response from Logitech to see if they will replace the stick. |
Question: | Approximately what is the twist (yaw) range, in real-world degrees? And the pitch/roll range |
Answer: | The joystick's handle itself twists approximately 15 degrees to either side for yaw, angles appx. 40 degrees (side to side) for roll, -pitches (forward/down) at appx 45 degrees and +pitches (backwards/up) at 30-35 degrees. What those motions will correspond to will really depend on the application in which they are used. Most flight games have advanced control settings that will let you tailor the response of the aircraft to the range of motion of the stick in advanced or personalized control set up menus. |
Question: | does anyone know if this is compatible with the online game WarThunder |
Answer: | yes, warthunder even has a preset for this the stick. |
Question: | Has anyone tryed it on the game Star Citizen |
Answer: | You should check out Thrustmaster T.16000M. You can try running dual joysticks too for SC, like two of Thrustmaster T.16000M or combine one T.16000M with this Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. |

User questions & answers
Question: | So dos this come with the throttle as well |
Answer: | No throttle is included this. This is the stick head of an A-10 and a Stick Base. An additional F-18C head can be purchased to put on this base. |
Question: | i know you can detach the joystick from the joint, but can you detach the joint from the metal plate |
Answer: | You can disconnect the flight stick from the base. You can not disconnect the "joint" from the "metal plate". |
Question: | Does this work with other button mapping programs and are they ambidextrous so as to use two joysticks |
Answer: | It is not ambidextrous but I believe you can get left handed grips. Check Virpil- they may have some...? With DCS you can create new .lua files to map buttons and switches to make them fully usable as 3 position switches. Hope this helped a little! |
Question: | is this stick able to be used with an X55 throttle |
Answer: | As far as both working in windows, yes.But as far as both being recognized by the game, that is up to the game if they support multiple joysticks (controllers). |

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick
The Hotas Warthog USB dual-throttle joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the 'simmer' community. Exchanges and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most specific and precise requirements of the experts. The result is the Hotas Warthog : a replica set of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.
Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick
Weighing in at more than 14 lbs and using metal for the joystick, throttle handles, and bases, the Hotas Warthog joystick is physically imposing. When you take into account the 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), it becomes clear that the Hotas Warthog is in a class of its own.
Most Precise and Feature-Filled Joystick You Can Get
The joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a 'Point Of View' hat. It provides extreme precision, thanks to the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology magnetic sensor system it employs: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints). What's more, pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane – a true first in the world of joysticks. Particular attention has been paid to freedom of use for simmers, with the joystick's handle being detachable, and its base being detachable as well (allowing you to install the joystick in a cockpit).
Pull and Push Throttle System with Disengageable Afterburner
The throttle component has also been very carefully designed, with a dual throttle system allowing for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attaches the 2 throttles together, or else keeps them independent of one another. The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivaled precision. Switching to the Idle and Afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push system, for even greater realism. The Afterburner detent is disengageable, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting. The throttles feature a total of 17 action buttons, a 'Point Of View' hat and a 'mouse hat / slew control'.
Control Panel with 5 Programmable LEDs
The product's final mechanical component, the control panel, provides an extensive number and variety of controls. It includes a friction wheel, allowing users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own taste. It also features backlighting for functions, which users will certainly appreciate for night flights; the 5 programmable LEDs are also a plus for use in dark or low-light conditions. The base includes a 'trim wheel' and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure.
Thrustmaster expert flying ecosystem
These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the Hotas Warthog, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software**.

T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC
The Hotas Warthog joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers.
In this way, T.A.R.G.E.T allows for total interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use as many different presets as controllers. Finally, T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too.

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the logitech x52 pro supported? I don' see it on the list or in the videos |
Answer: | I would guess yes. I just got a pair for my Dad's X56, also not listed but I believe the same size and layout. No real instructions, had to watch a video online, but not too difficult. We used the two long bar type things. Once bolted to the main support, used four long bolts with a washer and nut through the corner holes on the stick and throttle. Very sturdy. Unit came with an extra bag full of bolts and hardware, didn't have to run to hardware store. Don't forget you need two mounts. |
Question: | Can someone confirm if the updated version has wobble? Noticed t he one review video with a warthog had wobble but it was the old version |
Answer: | I bought the Upgraded one (2 fold) for my G940 Hotas system from Logitech... i have no wobble as in the video that was added... i'm guessing that was the old version. |
Question: | Does this work with vkb gladiator nxt joystick |
Answer: | Yes, they are compatible. |
Question: | Does this come with 2 mounts or 1 i need to mount both stick and throttle. Need to know if i need to buy one or |
Answer: | It only comes with one mount, for a complete set up you need to buy two. The ad is a bit misleading, it kind of leads you to believe that there are mounts for both throttle and joystick. BTW, it is not terribly stable. Based on another customer review which implied the mount was not stable enough for the HOTAS Warthog, I mounted the throttle on the JPEIN and bought a separate mount for the stick. The JPIEN tends to wobble and isn't terribly stable. I will likely replace this with a different model when finances allow. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac, etc |
Answer: | If you are asking if they can be folded up and placed within a pocket (of the pants) I’d have to say no. They are nice storm pants and can be rolled up fairly small for packing purposes. The suspenders would make it difficult to do what I think you are asking. Hope this helps! |
Question: | Can I use it as a handbrake in rally games? Will it do a good job |
Answer: | I'm 6'1, 175lbs, usually wear 33Wx32L pant. The MED (32L) is a perfect fit on me. I think LG would be right for a 34/36 waist. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will there ever be an option to get the grip with the base? I have no need for the A-10 grip |
Answer: | Check out these bases (https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html), they are directly compatible with the Thrustmaster sticks and are extremely high quality. You may have to wait depending on which one you want. |
Question: | We know that it's phisically different from the A10 joystick, but is there a difference in handling amd feeling |
Answer: | It is not, the F-16C flight stick it is exactly the same as the A-10C flight stick that comes with the TM Warthog Hotas., same feel, same button layout, same exact dimensions, the only one that is physically different with a different feel and button layout is the F-18 flight stick. |
Question: | Does this stick offer a Z or twist axis |
Answer: | This is an add on fligh stick for the Hotas Warthog (you can search Amazon for ASIN B00371R8P4). There isnt a "twist" incorporated in to this product as it is designed to be used with rudder pedals like the Thrustmaster TFRP or Thrustmaster TPR pedals. |
Question: | Can I buy this with a base? Or do I already need to have one |
Answer: | Check out this base if you only want the stick (https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html). They are high quality and directly compatible. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this also made in China |
Answer: | It is manufactured in China |
Question: | If your original hotas stick had a firmware failure (yes i've tried to fix it), will this replacement base allow the stick to be used again |
Answer: | Yes. I had firmware update failure, failure to even be detected by Win 10. I bought a used Warhog set and the female DIN plug of the base had been pushed down and wasn't connecting to the stick. Previous owner had broken the gimble trying to deal with it, so the plug repair was only half the problem. So I bought this base and everything works fine. |
