Overview
Thrustmaster pairs its metal Viper throttle and control panel with the HOTAS Warthog stick, giving sim pilots replica Viper cockpit controls. The throttle uses adjustable friction and real detents, and the stick uses magnetic sensors.
Metal construction and faithful replicas bring cockpit realism to study level sims. It works only on PC and needs desk room or mounts for three large pieces.
Who it's for
Dedicated PC sim pilots who fly the Viper or the Warthog attack jet will use every switch. Console players and casual flyers should choose a simpler HOTAS.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Magnetic sensors on the stick read position without wearing contacts, so precision holds over time. Adjustable friction on the throttle gives linear travel with no dead zones. Detents for idle and afterburner match real throttle positions.
