Bruh... with a couple switch mods would you agree the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle is legit??

[@BlackSockRepublic]

@@scottericksonwasted well yes but actually no. The thrustmaster warthog throttle is woefully inadequate in a few ways. First of all yes - you could put all the real switches into a TM throttle but that would be lipstick on a pig for 2 reasons. 1. They have cancer. All the throttles suffer from a drift issue that will affect all units eventually and it isn’t fixable 2. They’re too short… they need to be extended to match the real thing; warthog project made some but they’re too long. They need to be a tad shorter. You could put real switches in it, but they’re also INSANELY expensive to buy a la carte from Otto or mason - especially the slew. Although delta sim is working on a force transducer that will work in it. A guy did put real switches in a TM throttle already, if you care to see how he did it and how expensive it is. Search the eagle dynamics forums for it.

how the fuck did you get that. It must be clasified or some shit

[@BlackSockRepublic]

Very little is classified on the a10 anymore… the countermeasures are, as well as whatever systems the jet has for self protection are, but the controls? I mean they’re in DCS so clearly they aren’t lol

[@crankfotton]

@@BlackSockRepublic so how the fuck did you get it?

[@BlackSockRepublic]

@@crankfotton honestly I’m not even sure. I can trace it back 2 previous owners, the one before me did vast majority of the wiring and the guy before that did nothing with it. Prior to him? No idea where or how he got it.
