Dav IRL Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Just got he warthog and throttle. All I can say is 'hot damn' it is a savage piece of robust beef. I was using an X52 Pro which is cool but the Warthog feels amazing. Love the 8 way hat switch on the stick for controlling my slew and the ring finger latch on the stick for resetting my track ir. The sheer variety of switches on the the throttle is amazing, switches and buttons everywhere and in saying that the throttle is huge, one has to see it to believe it, everything is so well spaced. Just ordered rudder pedals because you just GOT to have them to improve the immersion factor (not to mention it doesn't have a twist) but who cares it's a really serious piece of gear and I don't need any programming software either. The less running the better I say. If you have been on the fence and I am telling you to splash out if you can afford one, I got it in prep for DCS World 2. 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.

Some peeps moan about the cost but in my opinion, it was worth every penny. :joystick: Yes sir, when you get your hands on it and get used to the button spread it feels awesome. Even the two stage trigger feels amazing. So glad I took the chance. 4.8 I7, 1080, TMW&T, SSD, VKB MK.IV.
SafetyTurtle Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah it's basicly going from a rusty old bucket of a car to a brand new land rover ^^ Welcome to the "club", hope you're having tons of fun with your stick (no...get your brain out of the gutter).
Wrecking Crew Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I've enjoyed my Warthog since 2009. In fact I have two. Suggest using the stick's Paddle Switch for a modifier, so you can add more functions. Also, the throttle's Mic Switch Up is a good one to use for Teamspeak.
