mrsparkle1811 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Can someone please tell me how many mm’s the holes are in from the side of the throttle and stick base. I am trying to work out mounting options while I wait for my controllers to arrive. Edited November 1, 2010 by mrsparkle1811
Blacknemisis Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Anyone use this new HOTAS in DCS Blackshark? If so give us a review! Im thinking of buying this HOTAS and expecting it to last for at least 5years. Just wanted to know how it does in other sims besides DCS A10.

leafer Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I'm thinking it would be the same as any other brand that has throttle instead of collective. The collective longer throw should allow for smoother and more precise/realistic operation. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
froogle Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Tried mine in Black Shark and IL-2 today. Absolutely amazing. My flying in both sims improved instantly. Very very smooth and accurate.

froogle Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Can you post your setup for Black Shark please? :) Sure - forgive my ignorance, but you mean like machine, peripherals etc? Alienware M15X, Core i7 720, 6 gig of Ram, Geforce 280, running through an Alienware 22 inch monitor at 1920x1080, full detail. Thurstmaster Warthog, with Saitek Pedals. I didn't do much mapping of controls or anything, I just wanted to get into the air and try it out, so I did some axis mapping (duh), mapped Hover to the paddle, and trim to the joystick pinkie. Is that what you wanted? Free fully voiced checklists for the A-10C and KA-50 http://www.monkeyfoot.com/tapcheck [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
froogle Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 now thats more like it ...so you had the x-65...i take it the TM-WARHOG..is far better ...:helpsmilie: For me, yes. I had TM FLCS for many years, then a Cougar, then about 5 years ago switched over to Saitek (moved country and started over with much of my hardware).The X52 was actually pretty neat for a cheap ass HOTAS, but it died on me two weeks ago, so I ordered an X65. Absolutely HATED that thing. I love the Throttle on it, in fact I think I prefer the X65 throttle to the Warthog one, but I just couldn't get along with the stick, especially in chopper sims. I sent it back and got the Warthog expressed to me (I write about this stuff for a semi living so I need working sticks ASAP), and absolutely love it. Without doubt, the best, most accurate stick I have ever used, period. Makes the X65 look very silly indeed, IMHO.

WynnTTr Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Got mine today. It's sitting on my dining room table ready for me to hook up when I get home from work today :)):thumbup: Dunno how you can sit at work knowing this. I'd be calling in sick. Me: Boss, i don't feel so good. Boss: That's not good. You coming down with something. Me: Yeah, I think it's called Hog fever. Boss: What? What's that. Never heard of it. Me: Oh yeah, it exists. Didn't you know that we're only a few chromosomes short of being a pig. Boss: Well you better go home then. Don't want it to spread. Me (muttering as I walk out): Only if you got $500.
Flim Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 This stick is nice, I love the mounting possibilities TM gave us!
Lio Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I ordered mine from simware but they are sold out and will first restock in 4 weeks time GRRRRRRRR. Thought about asking them to cancel my order so i could buy it from sweden but might aswell just wait it out. By the time it shows ill have all my exams done.
Tekken Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Hello Pilots, my Hotas Warthog is going back to the dealer tomorrow. The right throttle doesn't work. Too bad... Unpacking this baby was more fun than unpacking my gf last christmas...

MudRat02 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 On the other hand, it's F-16 stick with (half) F-15E throttle ;) That's true, and it was appealing for that reason. Problem is, I'm not a big Viper fan either, F-15 is cool but as you said its not all there :smilewink: I'm better off moulding my own F/A-18 stick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
