The HOTAS WARTHOG dual throttle USB joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between the Thrustmaster development teams and members of the flight simulator fan community. Exchanges of ideas and studies were carried out continuously throughout the product development phase, with a view to creating a joystick that meets the most demanding and specific requirements of the specialists. The result is the HOTAS WARTHOG: a replica of the yoke, dual thrust lever system and control panel of the US Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.
