A10 HOTAS from Thrustmaster - DCS A10C - demostración

Arrghh... whoever talked during this demo... don't do it again, hire someone better, it is definately not your thing.

Frigging low FPS in the sim alone.

Thanks for sharing anyway

Damn I'm bitchy ;)

I want that controller real bad!

lol I keep telling myself I dont need one of these, but geez I want it

If your existing HOTAS were to mysteriously "fall apart" in to lots of little pieces, then you would NEED a new one wouldn't you. And as the Warthog is out soon, it would make sense to buy one because even though it's expensive it's all metal so it won't "fall apart" like your old one.:sly:

Isn't that an A-10A?

Yes, that's an A-10A.

It's probably LockOn/FCs used for this demonstration, as there is probably no flyable F-15C in DCS:A-10C either ;)

You are SATAN. :devil_2:

ROFL FAIL at 5:50 :P When you demo your HOTAS make sure you dont need to use the keyboard for gear up, and if you do, dont put that part in the video :P

But yeah I admit I want one even though the one I have can still do everything I need and seems to be more ergonomic too.

Alternatively, if you want to demo your HOTAS, you'll map the switches/buttons to their respective functions in the real aircraft, and gear aint one of them. :doh:

Ok sure im not an A-10 pilot. But you have to admit it still looks stupid!

No, what would look stupid would be raising/lowering the gear with a switch marked EAC, Flaps, Motor, RALT etc.

Then you'd have idiots saying, 'LOL, OMFG, FAIL 5:50. He raised the gear with the flap switch. Ha Ha Ha. Duh'.

Reassuring to see that the people behind the A10C are obviously flights sim fans. The look pre and post 5:50 is the same look I had on my face when I first flew Falcon AT.

There's no space on the HOTAS Warthog for anything but all the essential functions present on the real HOTAS itself......In other words, what else are you going to use to raise the Gear?

:)

I for one can't wait to look stupid raising my gear with the keyboard while using the Warthog and the MFDS to produce all the functions produced in the real A10-C by those devices. In fact I would like to look that stupid right now. :joystick:

Out

Im not saying I wont buy it, I will get it and look just as stupid as everyone else reaching for my keyboard raising the gears while using my 400-500 dollar HOTAS :P Besides everyone I know thinks just HAVING a HOTAS is stupid so... maybe it comes with the hobby :) (yeah I sometimes hide my HOTAS when I have visitors, especially girls)

Bah I have a cougar and its falling apart. You dont need plastic for that. Theres so much center play in it, its not funny.

(yeah I sometimes hide my HOTAS when I have visitors, especially girls)

LOL Holy that was funny. I used to do that. LOL

Which reminds me that I think the TM Warthog may be the first HOTAS you won't want to hide when the girls come over. It just speaks on all levels of cool. :)

In what area do you live, where girls are attracted to high-tech heavy metal-built objects that are related to something fast or powerful and possibly related to something that may take part in a war? :blink:

Like sports cars? :)

For example, yes.

To my experience it's not the car that attracts them, it's either the price somebody male payed or to attract somebody else who knows how much it costs.

I doubt this will work with a joystick.

Guess that depends on size of said "joystick" my friend!

Oi......Imagine the possibilities/one-liners:

'Wanna share my Cockpit......'

'Here you go, grab hold of my Joystick.......'

'Yes - size really matters........'

And so on and so on.......the Mind Boggles :D

Thrustmaster, if you don't have a pre-order page up soon I'm going to pre-order it straight from your factory...by smashing through your windows.

Not really, but I hope they have one up soon because all this money in my bank account I've saved for the Warthog is really asking to be spent :)
