Warthog throttle any good?

[Steel Jaw]

So I managed to get the Warthog stick bit am still using my old x65 throttle.  Is the Warthog throttle aby good and, also, can it be used effectively for the Hornet radar cursors?

i had to use a third party hardware mod to make the  throttle  stick usable easily, but curves make it "workable"

Yes, it can be used effectively for the Hornet radar cursor.

The original slew nubbin is the weakest part of the WH throttle, but deltaalphlima is offering an inexpensive mod that works like a charm.

You need the slew upgrade mod as crash test pilot mentions. It does wonders. The original is just crap (imo).

For the rest, the throttle by itself is just fine. I find it overall a very good piece of hardware.

Stick gimbals however... is just as crap as the slew is.

I found the original slew axis on the Cougar better then the original on the Warthog.

The only thing i always had problems with was that if i moved the Cougar throttle, the axis angles of the slew moved along. I always had to search a bit to where to move the slew to to move the cursor in the right direction. That's not a problem on the Warthog.

 

Sidenote: How are you gonna hook up the Cougar TQS to your computer?

The default pinky switch is also prone to get "stuck": I have a replacement one from the same person who also makes custom TDCs:
