A-10C AIRCRAFT FUNCTIONS On the JOYSTICK:
REALISTIC IDLE AND AFTERBURNER DETENTS The HOTAS Warthogs throttle features realistic systems for IDLE and AFTERBURNER detents (the AFTERBURNER system is disengageable). IDLE: When set to IDLE: to cut off the aircrafts motors (in compatible games), raise the throttle levers slightly (in order to get over the stop) and put the throttle levers into the OFF position.
To power the motors back on, simply push the throttle levers forward (and then slightly down), into the IDLE position.
AFTERBURNER: When the AFTERBURNER module stop is in place, raise the throttle levers slightly (in order to get over the stop) and push them forward.
INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING THE AFTERBURNER STOP: (By default, the AFTERBURNER module stop is not installed). - Using the included Allen Key, unscrew the 2 screws as shown below, and take out the removable bar located between the 2 throttle levers.
- Take out the AFTERBURNER module, located underneath the removable bar:
(In this position, the AFTERBURNER stop is disabled) 12/18
- Turn the module upside down and put it back in its place:
(In this position, the AFTERBURNER stop is now enabled) - Put the removable bar back between the 2 throttle levers, then replace and re-tighten the 2 screws. IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid any possible damage to the AFTERBURNER module, you must never use the throttle levers without the removable bar properly installed (using the 2 screws) between the 2 throttle levers.

ATTACHING/SEPARATING THE 2 THROTTLE LEVERS To attach the throttle levers together:
To detach the throttle levers from one another:
INSTALLING THE JOYSTICK IN A COCKPIT OR OTHER FIXED SUPPORT To attach the joystick in a cockpit: - Unscrew the 4 screws located underneath the joysticks metal base plate, and remove the metal base plate. - Use the 4 screw threads located on the underside of the joystick to attach the joystick directly to your fixed support.
You can also use the 4 holes located in the corners of the metal base plates of the joystick and the throttle to attach both elements to a fixed support.
THROTTLE ADJUSTABLE FRICTION SYSTEM - To increase the friction: turn the wheel to the right. - To decrease the friction: turn the wheel to the left. IMPORTANT NOTES: - Friction on the dual throttles is set to the minimum value by default. - In order to allow for precise adjustment according to your taste, roughly ten full turns must be made to go from minimum friction to maximum friction. - You can use the white mark, found on the wheel, to help count your turns, if necessary.
BACKWARDS-COMPATIBILITY The new HOTAS Warthog handle is backwards-compatible with the base of the HOTAS Cougar (and vice versa). Only the CMS push button (button 19) will be non-functional, as it was not originally featured on the HOTAS Cougar. CONTROL PANEL BACKLIGHTING The intensity of the control panel's backlighting can be adjusted directly via T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). Five different levels of intensity are available: from 1 (minimum intensity) to 5 (maximum intensity), with the default level set at 2. MANAGING THE 5 PROGRAMMABLE LEDS You can manage the Control Panels 5 programmable LEDs directly via T.A.R.G.E.T. (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor).

Thrustmaster Launches the HOTAS WARTHOG, A Realistic Joystick For Flight Enthusiasts
Thrustmaster provides a solution for gamers with a need for speed setting a new worldwide benchmark for gaming joysticks
New York, NY - (October 7, 2010) Thrustmaster, the innovative PC and console accessory brand, unveils 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 in a class of its own. It will be available at the end of October for $499.99 SRP.
The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the flight sim community. Exchanges between the two sides and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase, in order to create a joystick which meets the most exact and specific requirements of these expert users.
The three key parts in the HOTAS WARTHOG that make up an effective, complete set include:
The Joystick Action Buttons- The joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a Point Of View hat Extreme precision - Employs the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology* magnetic sensor system: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints) Actual Airplane Button Resistance Pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane a true first in the world of joysticks Detachable Joystick For complete freedom of use for flight simmers, the joystick handle is detachable and can also be used on the base of the HOTAS Cougar Detachable Base - allows users to install the joystick in a cockpit
The Throttles Dual Throttle System - Allows for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attach the 2 throttles together, or keep them independent of one another Magnetic Sensor Technology - The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivalled precision.
Pull and Push System - Switching to the idle and afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push* system, for even greater realism
Afterburner Detent - Can be disengaged, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting
Multiple Function Throttles - Feature a total of 17 action buttons, a Point Of View hat and a mouse hat / slew control
The Control Panel Multiple Controls The control panel provides an extensive number and variety of controls Friction Wheel - Allows users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own preference Backlit Functions - Users will appreciate the 5 programmable LEDs and backlighting during low-light conditions or dark night flights Trim Wheel - The base includes a trim wheel and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure
Innovative, high-performance software The HOTAS WARTHOG joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster controllers, chief among them the all-new HOTAS WARTHOG, but also the MFD Cougar, the HOTAS Cougar and the T.16000M.
T.A.R.G.E.T Create Programming Configurations Users can create programming configurations which are either more or less complex simply by using the mouse and the Drag and Drop principle Three different programming Levels - Basic, to get started; Advanced, to employ more advanced functions; and finally Script, to harness the full power of the software New Script Language - In this software suite, the standard Script language has been totally rewritten to provide more flexibility, new functions and virtually unlimited possibilities The Powerful Software Application Can simulate virtual devices such as a keyboard, joystick and mouse, in order to simulate all of the actions required for these devices' use and are measured on the axes and buttons of the physical controllers, but sent to software applications via a virtual controller Total Interaction T.A.R.G.ET allows interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use multiple different presets as controllers Built-In Presets - T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too
