Warthog Pictures
« on: March 14, 2012, 05:13:52 PM »
When I opened the box holding my new toy (Thrustmaster Warthog) I was a little surprised by it's size. (Keep the jokes to a minimum)
When reading the reviews I didn't see any pics set-up as a size reference.  So for those thinking of getting one of these babies, here they are.
First is an overall shot.  The monitor is 23 inch.


The throttle is a monster(nice monster). Here it is next to my mouse.


Here's the Joystick:

Here's a few more pics of the Throttle showing buttons etc from different angles.





The Lighting has a standard military look:

You can take the yellow arrows off now that you've successfully docked.  :D

Funny thing is, now that I've been using mine for a few weeks, the arrow on the grip has rotated about 45 degrees and now points off into a weird direction.   :rofl

Haven't even paid attention to the arrows.  I guess they put them there so people wouldn't put the joystick on backwards.

Make sure you get the firmware update.  Also, tech support told me to be certain that all switches on the throttle are switched downward when you install the firmware updates.

Heee that is funny. When I got mine from SimHQ after winning it I didn't know it had arrows on it since mine didn't have any. I guess they had some problems with people in the first few hundred that went out and decided to avoid the problems.

Anyway having had one since November 2010 I love the thing.

Do you use track ir in DCSA10? If so I need some pointers if you have a few minutes one night. I use the same settings in it as Aces High.  In aces high it works great but in DCS A10 my seated view is like I am like 7 feet tall looking down at my instrument panels.

Have you tried zooming in with the keypad or leaning back, hitting TIR center, then sitting normally?

Another setting that affects field of view, if you use 3 monitors, is selecting 3 monitors or 1 monitor in the video setup. The 1 monitor selection gives you a narrower field of view when used with 3 monitors.
