Pretty nice how the HOTAS Warthog works with the open beta right out of the box huh? *
















* j/k - Don't know if it does or not. Yet.

Oh it does.

Well there you have it!

Oh I am counting the days now. I hope the nice courier man careful with my 6kg parcel

Anyone in the uk I preordered from dabs.com, it only appeared on there site on Monday so praying I am high up in any queue

You guys are confusing me. Is the Warthog released yet or not? Based on the posts above, I'd say yes, but I cannot find it to buy anywhere. I thought it was meant to release in Sept in the US?

But since it sounds like you guys might be joking around, maybe it isn't out yet?



Unfortunately SimHQ does not send me updates to subscribed threads. So I try to get back here once a week to catch up. This thread has spun out of control. I scan back through the last few pages and it's all just chit chat. There doesn't seem to be a way to search threads, just the entire forum, which doesn't help.



I have found this after some deep digging:
Breaking News!

More details on the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
The Warthog will be available for USA pre-ordering later this week.
The official Suggested Retail Price is $499 USD.
The expected ship date is October 30th, 2010.

Look for more news on SimHQ soon!


Is this date still accurate?

Thanks!

As much as I'm looking forward to getting a Warthog I have my doubts about it's newer Gimbal system. I would hate to spend that kind of money only to find myself in the same position as with my orginal Cougar. I ended up modding my Cougar which IMO was well worth the money. Here I am almost 9 years later using the same stick almost on a daily basis. My only gripe so far has been dealing with some of the original flaws.

So? Is it out yet?
Not much time to read the whole thread.

No, it's not out yet. 20th on simw (website still down... they are slow), 29th on amazon

Hi Smoky,

Sorry, should have explained. *Panther* has the HOTAS Warthog as testing because she is in the Virtual Thunderbirds. No idea if they have the software yet.

She confirmed that the DCS: A-10C Warthog Open Beta does indeed work with her testing unit "out of the box". Didn't know that either!

AFAIK, it is not on shelves yet. Just pre-ordering.

Checking on the other information today.

If it was on the shelves, there wouldn't be anyone to answer the question. They'd be too busy flying!
