@Chappy500 So you're the one who outbid me... Lol, jk. I think the quality of the TWCS is great. Reviews have praised the slew control, and I have to agree... Hoping I don't end up wanting to murder someone when I switch to the Warthog (which I ended up picking up on eBay also), before I can do the slew mod. The only 'issue', and it's mentioned in some reviews, is that the slide can be a bit 'grippy'. I used the adjustment screw and loosened it way up, but at some point I may have to open it up to add some sort of greese/lube (YouTube videos about that as well), but it's not bad. For you as a Hornet driver, it could almost be perfect since it is designed after that bird's throttle (minus dual handles of course). I actually didn't realize it until after I already had it and was researching something else online. I use the rudder toggle axis mapped to two buttons (flaps) with Joystick Gremlin, works pretty well. @falcon_120 Thanks for the profiles, I'm going to give them a look later today. I really appreciate it. As I said above, I did end up getting the Warthog, but it was a decent deal and I can always sell it down the road. At least now I can directly compare.

@falcon_120 That would be great if you could share yours... At least I'd have something to compare my current one to. Do you think it's super necessary to have the two stage trigger and CMS center push button of the WH stick? I'm fine with the 'motion' of the FighterStick, so I wonder if it's worth it to just upgrade that? I also do electronics (and was part way through my EE degree before switching back to IT), if I can do the slew upgrade lots of ppl talk about (and YouTube), would that change your opinion? And you think the TWCS will also be better for the Viper? @Sokol1_br The coolie is a 4-way switch on the throttle, operated by your index finger, that selects the SOI (sensor of interest) -- which MFCD (left or right), or HUD is currently selected. Using an 8-way hat in place of a 4-way switch is definitely not ideal... I've programed the 4 diagonals to duplicate the NSEW they are next to (ie. NW is also N, NE is also E, etc.), But it only partially helps. Plus it's in a different plane than the screens (and the real thing), which seems to make a bigger deal to me than you'd think.

My first, and primary, aircraft is the A-10C. I'm still in early days of learning both simming in general, and this bird specifically; only been doing this for 4-5 months. My current HOTAS is a CH Fighterstick Pro, Thrustmaster TWCS throttle, and a set of racing pedals pushed into rudder duty (works well enough for now). I'm seriously considering upgrading to a warthog setup, especially since not having proper coolie switch bugs the hell out of me (I use the 8+way thumb hat in its place). I pre-ordered the F-16 which is why I'm here on the viper forum. How is the Warthog going to treat me with other aircraft, and particularly the F-16? If it helps with advice, I also own the AV-8B, but haven't started flying that yet. Thanks

So I would like to use one of the color 'mods' for the A-10C TGP (I'm totally fine with the 'realism' since after some research, the more current versions of the Litening have that ability). That said, the problem becomes that the code I found also changes the Maverick to have a color image. Is that realistic? I have been looking around, but I can't find any information if modern versions use a color CCD or only B/W? Hoping for some insight; and if its only supposed to be B/W, then does someone know how to modify the code so that it only affects the TGP?
