rob10 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 8 hours ago, Irpus said: F-16 has a hook Inviato dal mio CPH2145 utilizzando Tapatalk Hence why I qualified my comment with "basically" (since it's a rare usage item) . For the F-18 I agree with your original comment, and I do tend to assign pre-takeoff functions to those and avoid T/O functions on the ones behind the throttle. In the F-16 there aren't a lot of pre-takeoff functions that I want to assign, so refuel door/stores CAT end up on them (not heavy use, so even though they are more a pain to use, it's still worth it).

No, I think they hurried a bit with this "release" since one of the testers already started posting blurry photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzU Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) I'm ready to buy this tonight but it's an F-16 throttle. I wish they would have labeled the switches for just the Viper. A switch for wing fold, hook etc is just silly and a copout for WinWing. Not a deal breaker but i'm not happy about it. It would be like the Warthog HOTAS having a wing fold switch. How much flak would they have gotten for that? Those AP switches on the Hornet throttle are similar.

BuzzU Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I guess my heart is with the Hog. I'm getting a bit old for the fast paced fighters and the slow Hog suits me better. I realized it when talking about getting the Viper HOTAS. So, I just ordered another Warthog directly from Thrustmaster. I know it will be new with an unopened box. I don't trust businesses anymore. Especially, Amazon. 1 Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think having a wing fold switch on a Viper controller is silly? How about a hook switch? A flap switch? Should I go on? Maybe it's not silly? Useless might be a better word. 37 minutes ago, MustangSally said: Thrustmaster is owned by Guillemot in France with the Hardware made in China. When a Warthog controller is sold. Who gets the profit? I didn't know France owned the company. France is fine. Way better than China. What's your connection with WinWing?

BuzzU Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Thrustmaster started as an American company in Oregon. Later it was sold to Guillermot a French company and they still own it. A lot of companies have products made in China because they work cheap. That doesn't make them a Chinese company. You can't see the difference?

Phantom88 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Question for you VR users who use mouse buttons on your throttle for convenience….will you be able to map mouse/scroll wheel without interfering with any F-16 throttle functionality?…I’m not familiar with WinWing software or adaptability so apologies if this seems like a stupid question. The throttle looks superb,I also like the fact I have the option to mount a Helo Collective grip as well as F/A-18 grip on same Orion base.

You can bind everything directly in DCS and skip the WW software for everything other than initial setup and calibration in a worst case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
