Option to avoid Warthog crap gimbal - but have a "A-10'ish"
HOTAS.
Buy Warthog throttle stand alone
Buy Warthog grip standalone (without base) - Thrustmaster sell for around $120.
Buy Baur or VirPil Mongoost base - both is "bolt and play" for Warthog grip without additional work.
Buy VKB Gunfighter for use their base - this option will cost more as require additional electronic adapter, and require disassemble Warthog grip for install this adapter, do a firmware update and load profile in EPROM controller.
Throttle remain compatible with TARGET keymapper soft, joystick not - what is not really issue for DCS A-10 that have LUA files that allow real A-10
HOTAS functionabillity (minus for trim HAT, that is POV controls by default)
