Warthog-is it really worth it? A rant.

I own one. Was the best Hotas for years. Right now you have better options like Virpil and VKB. See input forum.

Their problem is availability. I need to import it to get one. The cost is double after the tax. The wife would say "no way honey" lol. Right now I'm happy with the Warthog.

This situation is not like that now. I looked in their website shop and they have good stock. Pricing yes, but they are internally a piece of art and strong build, with spare parts to self repair. All that worth it.

I've contacted TM to see if I can get replacements. We'll see how much it's going to cost to get this thing working again. :joystick:

This damaged parts looks 3D printed, in low resolution.

In VR with the cockpit fully switchable the warthog isn’t the value it is in flat screen gaming. Other than the tHrottle, you can’t see most of the other controls without removing or peeking out of the headset. Outside of VR it’s excellent, insode meh. BTW it is routinely on sale for $300 at places like ATB.
