FORCE CONTROLLED WARTHOG - USER'S MANUAL V1.0
1. Introduction
Congratulations with the purchase of your Force Controlled Warthog.
The FCW is a drop-in replacement for the original warthog gimbals.
Unlike the FCC for the Cougar the Warthog FCW replace completely the electronics of the warthog.
As a consequence, you will not be able to program the warthog stick with Thrustmaster software
(Target). Programming will only be available through Direct X.
Please refer to the DX programming capabilities and features of your favourite sims to take full
advantages of the DX programming. (For BMS, please refer to the DX Setup Guide.pdf located in
..\Docs\Key Files & Input\Device Setup Guides & Profiles)
Although initially designed for the Warthog, there is no reason that the FCW cannot be installed with
a Cougar. The FCW is indeed backwards compatible with the Cougar. If you do install the FCW in a
cougar be aware that you will lose the possibility to connect the rudder and throttle on the cougar
stick base. You must seek a way to connect the rudder and throttle independently.
I hope you enjoy using your FCW as much as I enjoyed designing, building and using it.
If you have any comments or questions about your FCW you can mail me at
Arend “Eagle” van Oosten.
CAUTION
The Warthog and FCC printed circuit board are electrostatic sensitive device. This
means you can damage the boards if you don’t take precautionary measures. Make
sure you are not electro-statically charged before working on the PCB. You can do
this by grounding yourself and use ESD-approved materials. If you don’t have them at
least discharge yourself by touching a ground wire of your electrical installation.
