Warthog Microstick

[CrashEd]

Anyone finding it a bit sensitive? It's almost impossible to use the TGP with stock settings, however the TAD seems to be ok.

 

Haven't run any kind of calibration yet, just plugged it in... Might also try knocking the THR slew rate down in the status page.

[sobek]

It's official.

 

I hate you :D

 

jk ;)

 

Edit: On a more related note: Are you talking about slew rate when zoomed in? Because there is a known bug so as that slew rate is not reduced with incr. zoom/decr. fov.

On a related note, my Maserati GranTurismo isn't winding out in 4th...man I hate life!

Until Amazon decides to pull finger, all Warthog-related posts are on the 'ignore' list' :badmood:

 

 

Jk - not a setting in TARGET that can tweak the sensitivity?

 

Would not mind a wee user-review though :D

[dimebug]

in the Control Panels of A-10Cn set the Y saturation parameter to 11 or 10, and deadzone on 20

 

Ch users had the same issues, the camera really moves too fast. It's the Same in BS, except that the TMC provided with Target include a Sensitivity adjusment depending the level of zoom.

Amazon is useless for hardware.

So How do you like it other than the slight microstick problem?

ComeON!!! Brag A little!!!:thumbup:

Mower> Amazon UK are normally pretty good on pre-releases, so I'm amazed a small, independent flight shop got them before they did.

 

Viper> I have to say that my first impressions are: Wow! I can actually fly smoothly and precisely!! The stick is so smooth compared to my stock Cougar. Only small inputs are needed and coordinated turns with rudder pedals are a treat. There's pretty much zero centre play too, which makes a change :D Lots of lovely machined metal and solid castings. All stick hats are metal except the CMS hat. There's a nice matt finish to the stick and base plate, unlike the smoother paint finish on the Cougar. The microstick on the throttle is a bit sensitive, as mentioned, but hopefully a bit of tweaking will sort that. Switches are super chunky and robust, it really feels like it is built to last. Having everything literally is to hand is such a great feeling. Button presses take some force, so be prepared to add some 'positiveness' to your inputs! This stick make the sim even better, with respect to the realism factor (which is why I wanted to buy it really). Cold & dark start-ups are wicked with the new throttle! Will try and post some pics asap.

 

Badaboom> Ok mate, in short... IT's FRICKIN' AWESOME :D

Dimebug> Can you elaborate on this a little further? You alluded to the Y saturation parameter. Presumably this setting is in DCS: A-10C? In the 'Options' menu? I couldn't see anything that related to the microstick axis under 'controllers', but I'll have another look.

I dont hate you :) I love little white lab rats giving reports.:D

Very good you like it, have you tryed to use it centered with the software axe rotation to simulate the real plane 10% rotation of the stick for confort ?

[kylania]

Piiiiics! Before hearing how it feels I just kinda really wanted it. Now, I'm not sure I'll be able to last the week and a half or so till I get mine without some kind of medication or restraint. Perhaps I'll appeal for a medically induced coma and just wake up when it gets here.

PICS ? why Pics, there s plenty of pics everywhere on the net, on the forum, on the walls..

[kylania]

Someone's already taken a picture of Kate Beckinsale too, but that doesn't mean no one else should ever again. heh Besides, desk setups are cool to see. :)

[Succellus]

Thats a kind of voyeur answer your desk pervert! :D

[coolts]

I think amazon may be punishing us for making them knock of £10.

Must lean patience. Some day.

I will be checking the postroom every hour tomorrow.

[dane48]

So much excitement. I'm kind of jealous but I am in the process of purchasing an X-52!!!. You should see what I have had for the last 10 years. Just can't spend $400+ but I will share in everyone's excitement. have fun!

Here's one to keep you going mate ;) ;) ;) :D

Ada this look really big.

 

So.. we got a chinese pig ? My sign on chinese horoscope for whaterver that means.

 

Doesnt france France have too much imigrant already ? This one should have come to Brazil ! :D

 

I love the fragile stamp, my cougar falled more than a couple of time from almost a metr 3 feets and all i got where holes on the floor. If the Warthog is from the same stock fragile it ain t.

I'm happy to be your lab rat :thumbup: (and I aint so little either! :D)

 

 

:D :D :D :D

 

Nope, haven't tested the 10 deg axis rotation yet...

 

Better images to follow if I get the chance.

 

... Back on topic. Are there any ED Testers who have managed to set up their microstick without using TARGET? (current version of TARGET in Win7 64-bit is porked, lol!)

Pro: It's big and sensitive.

Con: It's big and sensitive.

[power5]

Wow, that some gap between the throttle sticks. Hook it up and tell us if EAC works. :) What does the pinky lever do? Don't remember from the manual.

 

So, we need some video of you flying with this and using the switches.

 

Oh, and don't forget pictures of the rudder pedals....

[WynnTTr]

Yep, had to check. My skin's green... a bright glowing radioactive green.

 

Damn you!

[MTFDarkEagle]

@power5: the pinky lever is not present on the stick of the a-10c. It's just there to expand the potential.
