This item is a joystick specifically designed for flight simulation gaming. The Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Stick is a highly realistic joystick replica modeled after the flight stick in the U.S. Air Force combat aircraft A10C. With its fantastic feel and appearance, every user immediately feels as if they are truly sitting in a fighter jet. All buttons and switches have an excellent tactile feedback and are made from high-quality materials. Overall, the flight stick features 19 action buttons plus an 8-way POV hat switch. Additionally, there are two 8-way hat switches with push buttons, a 4-way hat switch with a push button, a metal dual trigger, as well as two push buttons and two pinkie push buttons. The flight stick connects via USB and weighs just over 3 kilograms. Inside the joystick, 3D magnetic sensors operate with near-surgical precision that is designed to never fade. The joystick has a 16-bit resolution, meaning it can capture and translate 65,536 x 65,536 different movement position values. A five-fold spring system ensures consistent and linear tension on the stick, without dead zones. Furthermore, the flight stick is compatible with T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced Programming Graphical Editor). This software allows for testing, configuring, and programming the Thrustmaster joystick. The software can be operated at various difficulty levels: Basic, Advanced, and Script Mode. The latter even allows for the programming of complete scripts and full customization of the flight stick.
