REALISTIC IDLE AND AFTERBURNER DETENTS

The HOTAS Warthog’s throttle features realistic systems for IDLE and AFTERBURNER
detents (the AFTERBURNER system is disengageable).

IDLE:

When set to IDLE: to cut off the aircraft’s motors (in compatible games), raise the throttle
levers slightly (in order to get over the stop) and put the throttle levers into the OFF position.

To power the motors back on, simply push the throttle levers forward (and then slightly
down), into the IDLE position.

10/18

AFTERBURNER:

When the AFTERBURNER module stop is in place, raise the throttle levers slightly (in order
to get over the stop) and push them forward.

INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING THE AFTERBURNER STOP:

(By default, the AFTERBURNER module stop is not installed).

- Using the included Allen Key, unscrew the 2 screws as shown below, and take out the
removable bar located between the 2 throttle levers.

11/18

- Take out the AFTERBURNER module, located underneath the removable bar:

(In this position, the AFTERBURNER stop is disabled)

12/18

- Turn the module upside down and put it back in its place:

(In this position, the AFTERBURNER stop is now enabled)

- Put the removable bar back between the 2 throttle levers, then replace and re-tighten the
2 screws.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In order to avoid any possible damage to the AFTERBURNER module,
you must never use the throttle levers without the removable bar properly installed (using the
2 screws) between the 2 throttle levers.

13/18

ATTACHING/SEPARATING THE 2 THROTTLE LEVERS

To attach the throttle levers together:

To detach the throttle levers from one another:

14/18

INSTALLING THE JOYSTICK IN A COCKPIT OR OTHER FIXED SUPPORT

To attach the joystick in a cockpit:

- Unscrew the 4 screws located underneath the joystick’s metal base plate, and remove the

metal base plate.

- Use the 4 screw threads located on the underside of the joystick to attach the joystick

directly to your fixed support.

You can also use the 4 holes located in the corners of the metal base plates of the joystick
and the throttle to attach both elements to a fixed support.

15/18

THROTTLE ADJUSTABLE FRICTION SYSTEM

- To increase the friction: turn the wheel to the right.

- To decrease the friction: turn the wheel to the left.

IMPORTANT NOTES

:

- Friction on the dual throttles is set to the minimum value by default.

- In order to allow for precise adjustment according to your taste, roughly ten full turns must

be made to go from minimum friction to maximum friction.

- You can use the white mark, found on the wheel, to help count your turns, if necessary.

BACKWARDS-COMPATIBILITY

The new “HOTAS Warthog” handle is backwards-compatible with the base of the “HOTAS
Cougar” (and vice versa).
Only the CMS push button (button 19) will be non-functional, as it was not originally featured
on the HOTAS Cougar.

CONTROL PANEL BACKLIGHTING

The intensity of the control panel's backlighting can be adjusted directly via T.A.R.G.E.T
(Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). Five different levels of intensity
are available: from 1 (minimum intensity) to 5 (maximum intensity), with the default level set
at 2.

MANAGING THE 5 PROGRAMMABLE LEDS

You can manage the Control Panel’s 5 programmable LEDs directly via T.A.R.G.E.T.
(Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor).
