Very good
Top of the range equipment.
It is costal, almost everything is metal except the buttons.

As usual, LDLC's service is top notch, delivery is ultra fast, that's why I've been a customer for over 10 years now!
I went from an X52 Pro (which is already a satisfactory HOTAS solution by the way) to the Warthog and now it's another world! The whole thing exudes quality and the handling is fantastic. The physicalisation of the buttons on the throtle changes the approach to the simulation and offers quite versatile function assignment possibilities. Then, what really changes is the precision of the controls: the throttle allows a fine tuning of the power and the stick allows an incredible finesse in the manoeuvres. Moreover, the "metal" side of the stick and its ergonomics offer realistic sensations, coupled with the VR, you really feel like you're there.
If on Star Citizen, the switch from the X52 Pro to the Warthog doesn't drastically change the way you fly, on MSFS it's another story! I'm now waiting for Banana Corp (which does the same thing as Monstertech but in France) to finalize the installation of this incredible product.
The software seems complex at first, but with a little patience, it's easy to set up. Personally I don't use any special profile, I go directly through the games (Star Citizen and MSFS) to configure the keys.
In short, TL/DR, an exceptional product of quality and precision, if you like the air simulation and that you seek a solution with the top without ruining you completely, make the step, you will not regret it!
I have been a customer of LDLC for some time now and am very satisfied with their services. Very serious company I recommend 100 %.
The warthog is currently the only top-of-the-range hotas that really lives up to the expectations of this range.
The precision is remarkable, the handle may seem a bit hard for those who were on an x52 for example but you get used to it very quickly.
Be careful, a rudder is mandatory to use it correctly!
It's simply perfect, whether it's the ergonomics, the material, the model used for the reproduction, the number of buttons or the weight.
The only drawback is that the configuration software can be rather difficult to use for a non initiate.
Yikes!
That's what I said when I unpacked. A very big slap in the face.
After 10 years with an x52 I can say that it is not in the same league as most consumer joysticks.
Of course the price is high compared to others.
The only problem is the T.A.R.G.E.t software that comes with it to create profiles on different simulators. it crashes DCS 1.5.
So what more can be said than has already been said about the Thrustmaster Warthog?
Well there's not much to say, for my part it does its job very well for the games I use it for. The price is worth it, although it might seem a bit expensive, the finish is excellent.
The price is well worth it, although it might be a bit expensive, the finish is excellent, but when configuring the keys you spend a certain amount of time on it, which can be quite long.
So to conclude it is well worth the price, at least for me§
I received the equipment this Wednesday, congratulations to LDLC Belgium for the speed and seriousness of the packaging.
This Hotas Warthog is superb, professional work, we enter the big league, nothing surprising from THRUSTMASTER, I have a T.Flight Hotas X for years and it has never let me down.
Quality and it shows, 7 kg of material is solid. On the installation side, it was a bit difficult at the beginning to install the DCS control configurations. In short, nothing to complain about, except that there is a slight play when the throttles are disengaged. Otherwise it's great, very pleasant to use on DCS, Arma, etc... and always this solid feeling which pleases a lot. Really good stuff.
Very good quality material. I use it on DCS with the A10C and it is only happiness. A great precision in the joystick (axes) and Throttle side it's the same. Maybe a slight doubt on the Throttle side when the 2 handles are uncoupled: A slight lateral play in OFF position.
The TARGET software is easy to use and allows to adapt the set to many situations. If this product lasts in time, then the happiness will be even greater!
I bought this Warthog system because of problems with the x55 which was totally inoperative.
The connection of the warthog, stick + trrottle did not pose any problem and everything worked immediately.
Thanks to TRUSTMASTER for the quality of their products.
The programming is a bit more difficult, it takes a bit of patience, I use FSUIPC4, read the documentation carefully, no driver or software was installed.
Without hesitation, 5 stars
As said before, one button was continuously on.
I asked the manufacturer to replace the button, they offered me either to replace it myself or to send the joy back.
I opted for sending a new button, I received a very detailed plan + a new button.
Everything is ok now ....
I have received the material. It's my second Hotas, I'm replacing it because it's already 5 years old.
When I received the new one, no problem but two days later ... the button n° 15 remains in permanent contact !!!
I asked Thrustmaster for a "new button" guarantee...
If not from LDLC no problem.
I'm sure you'll agree that this is a great product, with a high quality of workmanship. It's not like any other joysticks I've ever had...I recommend it to all fans of aeroplane and helicopter simulation...always the seriousness and quality of the packaging and delivery from LDLC.
