Why do they call it a Warthog? I think it looks more like a Puma.

Front Tow hooks? Ugly? Weird looking? Lol the plane is only towed from the front wheel. That plane was beautiful, and although dubbed tank killer its 30mm guns were extremely effective at close air support saving countless American marine and army ground troops and ground troops from other allied countries being overran by enemy forces. Find another close air support plane from the 60s that's still in service because no other manned solution exists that is as effective. 4200 rounds per minute coming at you is a great standoff weapon. The a10 warthog is simplistic, stable at both high and low speeds and extremely efficient at blowing $#!+ up!!!! Brought to you by General Electric....."we bring good things to life"

I'm ready to buy, but I keep hearing about quality control issues and poor customer support. What's your experience been with these two things?

The answer is simple and honest... rip the two controls out of the A10 and put them next to the Thrustmaster, main difference is the output. The A10 involves complicated wiring to devices, the Thrustmaster has only 2 USB cables. Otherr than that, the feel, the look, the accuracy is identical. Yes, I had the opportunity to get my hands-on the real thing, though I was not a pilot, only a tech. The enjoyment level is expotentially raised over having to use any other flight controllers including the top of the line other mfg. I have them and there is no comparison. The feel is so tight and responsive on both throttle and stick. The buttons are actual military spec with that definite click to them. Basically you will never have to use your keyboard while flying if you do not prefer as all the main functions are in the Thrustmaster. A perfect, beautifully, realistic replica. Yes, it is expensive, but so are all realistic aviation devices for PC. Compared to them, this is not that much at all for what you get. I never forsee as to any mechanical problems with this, as I have had it for awhile now and gave it many, many fun hours. Oh- the learning curve is a bit steep, but it is the real thing...Take a while to learn all the button functions which are in the 200 area. Trust me, if you are a serious flight simmer who wants only the best, this is it! The buttons are already all pre-confirured for the A10 like the real one exactly, but you can reprogram them anyway you want, plus the software which is very intuitive, has other plane configurations all ready for you at the click of a button. It amazes all my friends, especially with my lights dimmed and the LEDs brightly shining. It is very impressive, it really gives you a feeling of power as you almost think you are in a real A10. Amazon is the best place to purchase from, for price and ease of mind in case you receive a faulty product (I never have in all the years, no RMA's)I only had to contact them once or twice and the reps were very knowledgeable and helpfull. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter the new fascinating world of realistic couch flying. Thrustmaster Warthog=Precision!!!

Could anyone please provide the exact dimensions for each of the Stick and Throttle by Length x width? Thank you.

Joystick: base=10.5" Long x 9" wide x 1/8" thick, Stick = 7.5" from baseThrottle: base=10.5" Long x 6" Wide x 2.25" thick, Levers = 5.25" above base or 7.5" including base

My gaming laptops run using Windows 8 - is the HOTAS Warthog compatible with Windows 8? Can't find any reference to this. Thanks!

Piffles, it works fine with Windows 8 and 8.1. Enjoy!
