I'm confused. I don't know your callsign, and looking back at your other posts, you've signed off with the name Augustus, and also Jay. No-one with those names in the tester's database so I don't know who you are to discuss your issues with the R&D guys. Now you're talking about "slop" in a system without traditional gimbals. It's not possible to have slop on one "axis" or "side" with this design. Very confused now. Which prototype version and number do you have so I can check this out against my prototypes?

Thanks in advance,

James

Boy, would it be nice if that was true, so I could quit my real job! LOL

I'm here like everyone else on my own free time, because I want to be here. Don't let anything else fool you! If people don't want my two cents, just because our squad happens to be sponsored by TM - Ok, I don't get paid to be a fanboi (wish I did), so I'll just keep the goodies to myself instead. Seriously though, we're community peeps who want to share what we can with the community and that's it. It's certainly not my job or semi-occupation. Now, I'm not gonna lie, it would be fun if it actually was though...



To each their own.

Wouldn't it be better to sign up and go fly a real Warthog in combat instead of flying combat sorties with other nerds online? Just kidding, but the same argument applies! Just ask your wife for her honest opinion about our hobby and you'll know...

The people I've been privileged to meet as a direct result of my online flying, hokey to some or not, have produced some amazing friends and even (real) job opportunities from people I've gotten to know in the airline world who happened to stumble across what we do and thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread.

While it's nice to hear people like what you do, I do it because I enjoy it and it's more challenging than anything else I've done flying sims... (as if I don't get enough of that at work already, LOL).



We only wear flight suits at trade shows and have never, nor will we ever display rank insignia.

Btw, none of us gets paid a dime for creating hype or posting our own feedback in forums like this one. We do it because we want to share on our own behalf and TM gave us the green light to speak freely...

Thanks T.E., you made Teej post a nice pic And now it's time for you to go back to where you came from......Troll!

Aaaannnndddd Back to our regurlarly scheduled program. I believe this thread was meant for discussion of the Warthog HOTAS. So, with that in mind, need I say more? That's #2...

Teej, you 'lil devil you.

VTB guys - I dont believe you were being paid to gloat on the Warthog or recommend it, if in fact it turned out to be poorly made. But you can see where the appearance of a conflict of interest would be valid. And Teej, those are two HOT women (unlike many of the booth babes that show up at these conventions), yet considering the detail to cosmetic enhancement that the UFC seems to require, to secure a spot as a ring girl for a main event, I would say they are facing stiff competition, lol.


Tbag, some SimHQ veteran posters and Moderator Heavies - Everyone may not see it the same as you, or believe that virtual flight teams are the best thing since buttered bread. Just because they may disagree, is not indicative of trolling. An hour to two here and there for 8 hours a week is something that is a hobby. Hobbies can often be healthy, and they inspire with something to look forward to when free time is at hand. Rigorously devoting 30 hours a week to flying in perfect formation for an online viewership that numbers 12 guys, when you are not even getting paid for it, and often at the expense of your family, friends, significant others and your own betterment, is not something I would advocate for a pedestal. That was my only point. If it makes you feel any better, I would argue the same for anyone who spends 30 hours a week fishing, 30 hours a week lifting weights, 30 hours a week fixing their car, etc....

Ghost - Got it, this is last post, no matter what comments may come after.

Resckle and Nutty - Yes, I get the insinuations. I was only reporting on what I can notice so far. No, I have not tried to take apart the unit to discover the asymmetry.

enough said, I wish I had their flying skills!!! Cheers to the dedicated,
I will have the TM Warhog, with or without the ladies,,, If you want to test the tech? Then do so, Don't come in blind and bad mouth everyone!!! Once I have it, I give me 2 cent worth. But to each their own.

I hate that this was your last post but I would like to get some clarifications on what you say you noticed so far. I don't have a test unit...would be nice if I did but I don't and I was just asking a question to see what you may have found.

I'm confused, is Ghost buying me a Warthog or not?

I'm just trying to establish who you are and hence indeed, whether you have a Warthog or not.
I note no reply to my question about what version of the Warthog you have, and no explanation as to why you're signing off with different names.
You'll therefore understand my scepticism as to your authenticity and motives.
Apologies if I'm wrong but the ball's in your court to identify yourself.
