Отзывы о Джойстик Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog

очень очень хороший джойстик.
покупал его для DCS A-10c. встал, как родной. определился кнопками «как надо» сам процентов на 80%. остальные 20 я настроил. ощущения волшебные. по настоящему стало удобно летать. до этого был X52pro. разница огромная.
летать стало легче и приятнее — все лежит под руками, как и должно лежать.
в других симуляторах еще не пробовал, но думаю будет не хуже.

рекомендую к покупке, но только с педальками. ну и с тракиром, чтобы хатки не забирать на обзор.

Лучшее что я приметил для покупки и в последствии купил. Сам по себе аппарат внушает респект и увашение. Но вот драйвера и программное обеспечение...

ВНИМАНИЕ ВСЕМ!!! — НИ В КОЕМ СЛУЧАЕ НЕ ВКЛЮЧАЙТЕ ЧТО ЛИБО ИЗ ЭТОГО КОМПЛЕКТА В ПОРТЫ USB ДО ТОГО КАК НЕ УСТАНОВИТЕ ДРАЙВЕРЫ И ПРОГРАММА УСТАНОВКИ ВАС ОБ ЭТОМ НЕ ПОПРОСИТ.

Это не шутка. В противном случае будут некорректно отобрашаться информация по состоянию осей. И вернуть как было поможет только переустановка windows (по другому выпилить дрова не получилось никак вообще).

Данный косяк был проверен мной лично на WinXP 32bit и Win7 64bit. Все так и было. Об этом писал какой-то человек в одном из отзывов. ОГРОМНОЕ ему спасибо, иначе мне пришлось бы общаться со службой поддержки. И не думаю что мой французкий бы им понравился (разработчики — французы) Видимо, эти %удаки совсем объелись лягушек, но в комплекте нет даже диска с дровами. Есть только квиточек с ссылкой в интернет где можно скачать дрова и программу алясирования органов управления (target). Так вот даже если вы позаботитесь об этом заранее и скачаете их на флешку, то на компе где будете ставить target вам все равно понадобится интернет соединение (при установке). Ну а если вам всетаки удалось все настроить — тогда вы получите истинное удовольствие от полета.

Мне это стоило потерянного вечера на перустановку винды. жалко тогда автора драйверов не было под рукой, я бы его ушатал бы тогда.

*Ось TRIM 1023 отчета, не шумит совсем, видимо тоже на Холлах (в реале регулирует сопротивление РУДов, на джойстике для этого есть отдельная крутилка вверху).
У РУС ось X не по центру, но это видно только в TARGET. Там же можно отключить мертвую зону в центре РУС (она минимальна, только для того чтобы джой не дрожал). В мануале сказано, это для напольников и тех, кто удлиняет палку РУС.
Ставить данный джой на высокий стол не рекомендую. Я смонтировал для него подставки высотой 45 см.

Я очень доволен своим приобретением, правда до этого у меня был только Logitech Force 3D Pro, это земля и небо. Если вы всерьёз увлечётесь авиасимуляторами то это отличный выбор. Брал его за 14 500 рублей, для меня это несколько дороговато, но я не жалею, что приобрёл его, всё хорошее должно стоить денег.

*Ось TRIM 1023...

Господа, описание джостика поражает... но со всех сторон все твердят только об одном, понравился!!! ууу сколько кнопок... вау тумблеры!!! да они 2х 3х 4х позиционные... кнопки руды и прочая чудо... Ребята это НЕ ПОКАЗАТЕЛЬ для джоя!

У меня только пара важных вопросов которые стоит задать владельцам:
1)На чем построен сам джой Резисторы или датчики Холла?
2)снаружи железо, а внутри что? опять китайский пластик? или в нем ДОСТОЙНАЯ МЕХАНИКА исключающая возникновение люфтов в процессе эксплуатации...

Насчёт копийности понятия не имею — в реальном A-10 не сидел, но «дешевизной» внешнего вида не раздражает, даже пластик на РУД под ладонью заметил только на ощупь.
Люфт РУД, по крайней мере у меня — незначительный.

В любом случае думаю что сложно найти сейчас джойстик лучше, разве что собрать самому или заказать самодельный, но такой обойдется возможно ещё дороже.
Пускай он и силуминовый, но главное что не в механике — рассыпаться быстро точно не будет, в остальном силумин весьма долговечный.

The Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog consists of 2 separate pieces. A Throttle Quadrant and a Joystick. Each piece is adorned with an amazing number of levers, buttons and switches.Everything I read about this control surface gushed about the Warthog's build quality, heaviness, and overall feel. This is an incredibly SOLID and substantial product. It has far exceeded my expectations, and using FSUIPC (registered version) I was able to completely calibrate the flight axes on both the throttle quadrant and the joystick.Even though this device is specifically designed as a control surface for the U.S. Airforce's A-10 Warthog, I use it exclusively to fly the very fine PMDG 737NGX (with Service Pack 1b) within Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition (w/ Acceleration Pack). Adding this product to my cockpit made my overall flying experience go up at least 4 notches on the immersion scale!Throttle Quadrant: Configured mine so than after the throttle is pulled back to the detent (Idle Thrust) position (where it stops moving towards you), one is able to then lift the throttle handle straight up while simultaneously pulling it even further back towards you which will engage the reverse-thrusters.JOY! Then I programmed the grey slide lever on the right side of the TQ to control 9 positions of flaps (0=FLAPS OFF then settings ranging from 1 degree to 40 degrees flaps). When I push the slide lever all the way forward I am able to completely remove flaps (after landing) which is simple and very fast. It's also nice to instantly switch off the landing lights and turn on the taxi/runway turnoff lights all with just 2 toggle switch throws on the throttle quadrant portion of the Warthog instead of motoring around inside the Virtual Cockpit looking for the toggle switches on your PC screen. Note: This functionality requires free add-on software see next paragraph.I was using FSUIPC to assign the Warthog switches and buttons within FSX, but then discovered a software utility called "LINDA" which is available free of charge on Avsim's website- and I've been quite busy doing that. "LINDA" is a Graphical User Interface that allows you to custom-program complex aircraft within Microsoft Flight Sim X and assign buttons as you wish. In my case, I have the Throttle portion of the HOTAS WARTHOG configured to do cool things like turn on the Landing Lights, turn on the Taxi Lights and the Runway Turnoff Lights, set flaps from 0 to 40 degrees, set and release the parking brake, turn up all the lights on all the aircraft control panels, set the speedbrake, engage the reverse thrusters, lower and raise the landing gear, engage the localizer (APP), release Auto Pilot, and so much more. I even have separate toggle switches to shut down the engine 1 and 2. Because LINDA allows 1 set of commands for 'normal' Throttle piece and 'normal' joystick, it also allows you to configure a "SHIFT" button so in effect all your pushbuttons and toggle switches are 'doubled'. Amazing! You still will need to set the AXES (the plural form of "AXIS") within FSUIPC. Linda will handle everything else. With Linda assigning custom actions for each of the buttons and toggles on the Warthog is MUCH easier, because when you touch a button on the controller, LINDA jumps to that control on screen and you choose what action you want to assign when the button is PUSHED (one action) RELEASED (a seperate event for the same button) or HELD. So you have 3 functions possible. Same thing with a Toggle Switch. One action you can assign when the toggle is lifted and another when it is flipped back the other way. One of my toggle switches "Toggles" the HUD (Heads-Up Display) on the PMDG 737 NGX. Again, that is incredibly HANDY to have things happen on your PC simultaneously with your actions on the Warthog's control surfaces.The joystick is so smooth and solid (it's heavy!) you'll feel as if you're flying a real jet, something I never felt when I used my old all-plastic T.Flight Hotas joystick/throttle (also by Thrustmaster). The difference between this beast and all other joysticks? About like comparing a Ferrari to a Yugo. Sheer curb weight - the 'metal content' - the lighted graphics on the TQ panel - the programmable LED's - Wow.You will spend hours deciding how to set this up for aircraft OTHER than the A10 (it's designed to self-configure for the A10 plane), but once you experience how the plane flies with this control surface, your smile will light up the room, and your (existing) joystick will be relegated to the dust bin.Generally I don't go crazy recommending a product, and for what this costs, you may hesitate (as I did). Once you get the feel of the Hall Effect sensors and the magnetic insides of this beast, you will feel completely justified in your purchase decision. Everyone I spoke with online said the same thing: Buy it, you'll never regret it. I second that emotion!

As a replica of the real A-10C joystick, right down to the materials, feel, and even sounds of the switches and buttons, what else would you expect but quality?The Stick is firm, and extremely precise thanks to the high resolution hall effect sensors which never wear out. The force needed to press buttons and hats is noticeably higher than in other sticks, ensuring that a missed press never occurs. The two stage trigger allows for extremely precise shots when using PAC in DCS A-10C. To round is all out, the included metal baseplate is extremely heavy, and there is no worry about your stick moving around on your table like some sort of roomba. A really big thing though, is that the same connectors as the cougar are in use for the stick mount, so if you want to use the stick from your old Cougar, they are completely interchangeable, which is nice, because the Warthog stick mount which contains all of the sensors is leaps and bounds ahead of the base model Cougar's.The throttle is another matter entirely. But that's only because it isn't just a throttle setup. It contains the entire throttle panel from the real A-10C, and also includes the LASTE panel which controls the autopilot functions of the aircraft. The buttons and switched on this weighty panel include a throttle friction adjustment, so if you are ever feeling like it is too easy or too hard to move the throttles, than this will come in handy. The actual throttle has an assortment of hats, buttons, and switches which are all laid out extremely ergonomically. Some of the buttons on the throttle are functional switches, but do not have functions in the A-10C as the throttle has some carry over from the F-15E throttle the real A-10C uses (they are non-functional in the real jet as well, or have functions pertaining to the use of secure voice comms which are not implemented in-game). You can map these buttons as they do work, but they will have no effect on the A-10C in DCS unless you map them separately. The really cool thing about this stick is that there is an easily modifiable afterburner detent that can be flipped to allow the use of either a detent, or not.Overall, the build quality is second to none. The stick is an EXACT replica of the stick and throttle in the real A-10C. This is bar none the easiest to use, and most precise HOTAS ever made.

The ThrustMaster Warthog:I struggled with myself in trying to pick a star rating of either 4 or 5 for this Joystick Flight System. As you can see I finally fell on 4 stars. I would've given it 4 1/2 stars but I haven't got that option.Right off the top I want to say that this is a fantastic flight controller system and at this point, I do believe that it is the best. I fly FSX and had a number of different joysticks and flight control systems including the Logitech G940, (my favorite before the Warthog system).I must say that ThrustMaster did a great job with quality on this system and made it so that every single button can be programmed. If you use the TARGET joystick profiling system that ThrustMaster offers, (free), the number of switches that you have can be increased by six times.Because there is a lot on the Internet about the ThrustMaster Warthog I'm not going to waste your time by repeating what everyone else has been saying regarding the smoothness of operation and adjustability the system offers.You can believe that if you buy this joystick system you will own the best joystick system on the market. So why four stars? Well incredibly, Thrust Master decided not to make the Warthog a force feedback system! Yes, that's right, a $400-$500 joystick and it doesn't have force feedback?! In addition, Thrustmaster includes something like 6 'ready made' profiles but omits the profile for a flight sim that carries a larger customer base than all other video games put together; Microsoft Flight Simulator!The last joystick I had before I bought the ThrustMaster Warthog was the Logitech G940. I'm sure that many of you have read the negative feedback about the G940 but keep in mind the G940 only cost about $250-$280. And the fact is I really liked the G940 and the force feedback system that it offered, (Logitech's CS was another issue altogether).I know not everyone likes force feedback but there's an easy solution to that. You see, ThrustMaster includes a wrench with their Warthog that permits the owner to change the way the throttle control operates. Would it have been so hard to include a wrench to remove the centering spring in the joystick?Why would I want to do that? Because if you gave the Warthog force feedback like the G940 you need a power supply that plugs into the stick and the spring would get in the way of the feedback system.I don't think it would've been a hard job to engineer, (I'm a mechanical engineer myself), but of course you always have to concern yourself with the ratio of cost and profit. It would be likely that the force feedback system I'm speaking of would raise the cost of the stick another hundred dollars or so.So between the lack of force feedback and a small problem I have with their miniature XY joystick button, (it's a 'mouse' button but a bit too small), I decided to give the stick four stars. Nothing is perfect but ThrustMaster certainly strived to reach that point.I also want to say that ThrustMaster is standing behind the product 100%. That's something that many of the companies have stopped doing. So once again, you will not regret buying this joystick system and even though it doesn't have force feedback, the smoothness of the joysticks movement makes it a pleasure to use and some real pilots have claimed that this joystick feels very much like the real thing. If you're still vacillating, buy it and try it. I think that if you give it a few hours as I did, you'll have no doubts and like me, will see that it is THE top stick in any class.
