In order to respond to demand from the flight sim community, Thrustmaster is pleased to announce that it will now offer a standalone version of its A-10C attack aircraft flight stick replica.
With the release of the HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick, owners of the HOTAS Cougar stick and flight sim fans in general will be able to get a taste of the incredibly specific sensations provided by the stick of the A-10C, the U.S. Air Forces famous attack aircraft. A replica of the planes control stick designed by Thrustmaster creator of the original Hands On Throttle And Stick concept and officially licensed by the U.S. governments Department of the Air Force, the HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick is composed of a detachable metal handle which is also compatible with the base of the HOTAS Cougar stick (and vice versa), plus a base and a support plate.
Thanks to a metal plate which can be detached from its base, the HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick can be used either on a desk or mounted in a cockpit. The activation pressure on the stick's buttons and trigger is completely realistic. It features 19 action buttons in total, plus one 8-way point of view hat: 1 x 8-way point of view hat, 2 x 8-way hats, 1 x 4-way hat with push button, 1 x metal dual trigger, 2 x push buttons, 2 x pinkie push buttons. The stick includes a USB connector and also features upgradable firmware; what's more, it's ultra-stable (weighing in at more than 6.6 lbs/3 kg).
The HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick will be available starting May 2013 at a suggested retail price of $299.99 (taxes included).
