Great Swiss 😄😄

[@TFSDestroy]

Yeah

[@zowik6970]

Good idea

[@tomatoe308]

yeah gimme the a320 joystick i have been following you from the start keep up the grat content

[@Acx2851]

You should have played dcs a10 with this cause it's made for that and dcs has the most realistic a10

I agree!

Agreed

A video about the TM Warthog with "The best JOYSTICK EVER MADE" in the title. Ok, there's the Winwing Orion, the Virpil sticks, the VKB sticks, VPForce is making an FFB stick. Even the VKB NXT Evo is much better and isn't honestly as expensive, of course, it's the stick only, but still. Thrustmaster and Logitech/Saitek have ancient gimbal designs that yeah, they work, and yes, they were the best but in their time, and that was a long long time ago.

[@calmac938]

VP force is on stick 6 now I think, I've just ordered one and should be getting one soon. So excited!"

[@ttenor12]

@@calmac938 oh yeah, as soon as I have the money, I'll order one myself too. I've been waiting for something to replace my Sidewinder FFB2, since flying helos without force feedback is impossible to me now, and seems like VPForce Rhino is the way to go

[@ttenor12]

@@mrpetenothing3753 partially same, I love the throttle, especially because the Hog was my first module and having all the controllers automatically set up made learning the module easy. The stick base though, its ancient gimbal design doesn't compare to all the new stuff

[@EbonySeraphim]

Given how long TM Warthog was clear top of game for both non-sim pit and sim-pit premium gear…I’d call it the goat. It’s silly to call their designs ancient when it’s simply mocking the real thing. I don’t give them particular praise for it because they aren’t inventing but there is no critique either. Virpil catches up if you’re fine with genetics HOTAS losing the mimicked military style. Virpil stuff can be lacking in switches that need to hold a position (button) which DCS has a bit of. As such, it is clearly better for space sims or MSFS. Virpil throttle base is generically really good and the slider on the throttle grip is a perfect use case for DCS zoom view. The problem is for certain aircraft that should probably be a different control. Wingwing Orion2 system I think finally eclipses TM Warthog throttle base in almost every way. They keep the mock military style, but they made a conscious decision to group generic/common controls of various 3rd and 4th gen fighters. On a throttle base alone I think this is a good decision because every platform is so different and won’t pack useful controls near the throttle grip. The F-16EX could be a Warthog stick killer given how many controls they’ve added to it. Provided the real controls of the F-16 and A-10 haven’t been made more difficult to access, it’s a clear win there too. And the killer feature of the Orion2 system to me is how they allow switching to any throttle grip they make in the future and have an authentic F-16 and Ka-50 collective grip out. I’m waiting on the F-16 throttle to arrive. All in all I’ve had the TM Warthog for 11 years now and got the F/A-18 grip on a separate stick. Waiting on Winwing Orion2 throttle + F-16EX stick to add: and Virpil control bases 1 and 2 to support all aircraft common controls I can’t push onto either throttle base. The trend that TM set which Virpil and Winwing clearly followed was in making premium gear that is capable of sitting on top of a normal desk. Many people willing to spend an invest a bit still won’t have a completely separate room and PC for flight sims versus productivity.

[@ttenor12]

@@EbonySeraphim I'm not talking about the design of the grip and throttle, I'm talking about the design of their gimbal. It definitely isn't "replicating" the real thing, because the real thing doesn't have a plastic gimbal that develops stiction over time and has a big play in the center

[@johanneslemke3334]

The Warthog is still a good choice, but there are even better options now. Virpil/VKB/Winwing are a step ahead in gimbal design.

[@yokez]

also wayyyy more expensive

[@maybecole]

@@yokez VKB not that expensive. Paid a total of 210 which includes the 40 shipping from China on the VKB premium. (space combat)

[@yokez]

@@maybecole fair enough but when people compare this to virpil as if its in the same price range i shidd myself a little

[@maybecole]

@@yokez true

[@aaronao1]

@@maybecole cheap plastic tho. u will want the gunflighter. also that VKB doesnt come with a throttle.

[@2Capt]

swiss001: gets a $500 A-10 Sidestick for free. Also swiss001: uses it to fly a cessna 150

[@sheeplord4976]

great externals, but the internals suck. Awful gimbals. Virpil base+thrustmaster stick= best

Ahh yes Swiss is finally back with Top Gun again :)

Yeah 🤣

Swiss I LOVE your videos❤ please keep up the good work

Swiss your video's are so funny and entertaining. Love your channel so so much.

[@ChiranjeevPatra2022]

Swiss always brings new setups but still uses the Airbus Joystick We love you Swiss! Your videos are really funny!

[@mikeyplayzwrld]

He might use this now if it’s the best he has ever felt.

[@ChiranjeevPatra2022]

Yes maybe

[@Alepap.]

@@mikeyplayzwrld If he removes the spring maybe, or else he's going to get tendinitis

[@SeamusHilleary]

Thrust master seems to be really doing well. They definitely need to make an Embraer yoke now

[@taidean]

I've had my TM Warthog for I don't know how many years now and still works great. I picked up a set of Vipril rudders a few month backs and got rid of the thrustmaster pedals for DCS and I use bothh for MS 2020 also.

[@gengisbohx_]

all the joysticks on the Hotas are made for the weapon system controls on the A-10, e.g. you spot a tank so you fire a laser at it for your laser guided bombs/missiles.

[@undulato]

You should try the DCS A10 with it. Love your videos

[@james.w2564]

100% agree

[@magdalenakwiecien4606]

You should get the Fairchild Republic A-10 'Warthog' Thunderbolt II for the simulator from the ingame store to test it out with the joystick.

[@kepyyy5766]

It isn't, virpil is there ! But it IS amazing

[@qLeoYT]

Vkb

[@kepyyy5766]

still under virpil imo but vkb's amazing too for sure @@qLeoYT

[@northunited280]

”watch the sound” cracked me up.

Whatever swiss you will break it like the other one😒 😃

[@redhotphoenixgamer6009]

[@AviationBlenheim]

What a great review!!!

[@Semal1]

I’ve had this joystick for like 3-5 years or something like that and it was great but I switched to a brunner yoke as it really wasn’t good for arliners and I didn’t fly military aircraft that much

[@MSRTA_Productions]

Swiss got some drip 😎

[@gooner72]

It's that good, most of the lads from the Grim Reapers YT channel use them and these are proper hard core DCS pilots..

[@kurt1158]

damn that setup is very nice

[@sebastian0018]

Everyone: how much joysticks do you want to have? Swiss: yes!

[@bwc1976]

$500? Yikes, guess I'm hanging onto my Sidewinder Precision 2 for another couple decades.

[@theroach2204]

i got this last week and love it to bits

[@AbdulrahmanMahran]

very nice you really flying like a professional and am just downloading the msfs

[@YourRandomWhiteGuy]

would love to see a vid of this thing vs the Virpil

[@RobloxFunX]

swiss001: usually the controlls are in the left Boeing: phew our pilots can use both

[@ocut787]

I have a video idea, try to fly a plane with the small joystick on the trust lever.

[@AviationEcho]

I like how it’s a fighter jet joystick but doesn’t even fly one lol

[@330deck]

They should send Swiss a home cockpit next

[@theprussianboi2573]

everybody gangsta until swiss finds about Virpil Controls

[@yoel2012]

That is so sick

Thanks for the video

[@boberloon]

ive been watching you sinse you make infinite flight vids, Keep the gud work

[@crafterttemmea46]

So I clicked this thinking that you were also gonna fly the a10, can you make a video tomorrow about the a10 with that new joystick?

[@good2580]

Nice video Nick!!Hope you will unbox the cheapest joystick (usb joystick)from thrustmaster 🥺🙏

[@SewerShark]

I skipped the warthog and went straight to the Virpil Mongoost.

[@kaumelt1961]

laughts in Virpil and Winwing

[@captainsam3180]

Hi Swiss! You should try and do a cats in flight. I do at least 5 a week and they are really fun! Thank for being amazing!!!

Fun fact about this you can get a fa/18 super hornet stick as an add on

[@i.r.wayright1457]

If you want a set of controls that will last with zero defects, this is the one to get. I got a set before FS2020 came out and they are still perfect.

[@fahmidaislam4145]

man used a fighter jet joystick and flew a cessna😂😂

My god. That's a pretty awesome product and i like this video and i don't know when i will watch Top Gun Maverick. Maybe in the next few days perhaps because it made me play Air Fighters by Rortos

[@SergiulGaming]

Best joystick ever made untill you try VKB or Virpil.

[@gibbon6510]

Seeing you using this Hotas (which I crave so much as an A10 c2 pilot in dcs) hurts me a bit 🙃

$10 joystick is slow but $500 joystick is fast, i will but $500 joystick when it is working 😊

[@himneeshchowdhary820]

I like how he didn't fly any fighters with a 'fighter HOTAS'

[@TRUCKSPOTTERFROMDK]

swiss001: now this joystick is made for the a10 the only planes he flew: cessna 152,a boeing or something
