goon3r Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Hey All, After 2+ yrs of HOTAS Warthog ownership, I've never been very happy with the throttle. After much debate, I finally got the CH Pro Throttle which I'm planning to use for other aircraft apart from the A10c and pair it with the Warthog Stick I noticed that Wags uses this setup also. Is anyone else using this combination here ? Any thoughts or potential issues to be aware of ? Potential conflicts between TARGET and the CH Software ? I was planning to just start out using the in-game key mappings. Thanks!

goon3r Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Mostly its the ministick that I find painful to use for the KA-50 or F15. I've had a few of the buttons get stuck in one position or the other and have to be replaced/repaired. Also having switches on the Warthog throttle make things painful at times when a simply button would suffice. Many of my issues can be addressed via Target, but I don't always have time to spending creating profiles. I think my feeling has always been that I loved the Joystick on this unit but enjoyed a Throttle like the X52 when flying everything except the A-10C. My guess is there are others that feel similarly as I noticed in the past couple of yrs TM have started selling the Warthog joystick standalone.
goon3r Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks. I'll try to stick to the in-game setup. One observation, throttle seems to slide much more freely than any other throttle I've ever used. I mean no resistance at all is there. Is this normal ?

millenix Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I'm using the same setup, but haven't used the TM throttle. I've found no real issues, primarily got the setup for 6DOF in Star Citizen with the thumb joystick, but have also found no real issues in DCS either. I would love to try the TM throttle to compare, but the stand alone throttle is never discounted.
