Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG – A Realistic Joystick For Flight Enthusiasts

Thrustmaster has unveiled their new flagship gaming product, the HOTAS WARTHOG, a full replica of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. Weighing in at more than 14 lbs, the joystick, throttle handles and bases are constructed of mostly metal. With 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), the HOTAS WARTHOG is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster’s development teams and members of the flight sim community. The Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG will be available at the end of October 2010 for $499.99
