"Is it worth the money--"
Emphatically YES!!
The stick is of a quality I would expect from the aircraft industry. It is cold
steel and will probably last longer than me. The throttle control is like
something out of Darth Vaders bathroom and when the green LED's light up, it is
an attractive sight.
I was a bit surprised by the amount of play in the throttles though.
I expected the same quality and precision that went into the stick, but it is
still within acceptable parameters.
Now all I need is the DCS A10c game and I suspect the wife will be asking for
a divorce (presuming I am not so engrossed that I even know she is home).
Give it a try if you are serious about simming, it is worth your while.
"Absolutley worth it..."
I've been doing flight sims since 1992 and the Warthog outstrips anything
I have ever had!
It's design is brilliant and the quality is a league ahead of anything else out
there.
It is on par with what you will find in a cockpit of a real jet
It is plug and play with DCS-A10C and if you combine this with rudder pedals it
is quite realistic.

having had this unit for for a little while, i have found it to be one of the best pieces of equipment for simming with. this is best put to use with DCS A10c but can be used for il2 etc.
the target software is still in its infancy and there are still bugs to be worked out with firmware but i can easily see this lasting 10+ years due to its construction materials.
only draw back is not enough sliders/rotaries for ww2 flight sims.
