Bob1943 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 As I posted on another thread, I am getting back into flight sims after a 10-year hiatus. Still have my CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle & Rudder Pedals from years past. If I have any trouble getting those to work in DCS, I am open to getting a new TM Warthog HOTAS. However, before dropping the kind of money those are going for, is the Warthog setup a quality product that will provide a lengthy service life? Also, I assume that you can easily program those dual throttles to work fine with single engine aircraft such as the F-16?
Ant0ine Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I used two Warthog over a ~6-7 years period, never had an issue. I always connect my controller AFTER the PC is fully booted and ONLY when I want to use them. As far as I remember always on a powered USB 3 HUB. Never had a single issue really. The only maintenance I had/desired to do was greasing the stick and throttle. And changing the friction throttle friction pad. I also tried to mitigate the that unfortunately I had on both of mine. Here is a kind of review I wrote a year ago. PS : Ooh, I changed my friction pad recently and do to so I disconnected the main board. After that one of the axis of the slew control wouldn't work anymore :(. I re-calibrated the throttle using the TM tool and it is fully operational again :thumbup: Same with the Joystick btw, each time we open it to re-grease or whatever we should re-calibrate it. Below are calibration tool for both throttle and stick. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ogb522axno2akn/HW_Stick%20Calibration_V1.13.exe?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca4sgzfrprayh42/Throttle%20Warthog%20Calibration%20%28V1.07%29.exe?dl=0
