## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy this with a base?  Or do I already need to have one?**
A: You Need a base, as well. (Pay attention to the connection of the power and the threading/ interfacing to the base you choose.) Heads up- Virpil is backordered 8 weeks plus if you can wait. Thrustmaster base works just fine. I recommend getting the extension, and doing center stick.

**Q: Does this stick offer a Z or twist axis?**
A: This is an add on fligh stick for the Hotas Warthog (you can search Amazon for ASIN B00371R8P4).  There isnt a "twist" incorporated in to this product as it is designed to be used with rudder pedals like the Thrustmaster TFRP or Thrustmaster TPR pedals.

**Q: We know that it's phisically different from the A10 joystick, but is there a difference in handling amd feeling?**
A: It is not, the F-16C flight stick it is exactly the same as the A-10C flight stick that comes with the TM Warthog Hotas., same feel, same button layout, same exact dimensions, the only one that is physically different with a different feel and button layout is the F-18 flight stick.

**Q: Will there ever be an option to get the grip with the base? I have no need for the A-10 grip**
A: Check out these bases (https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html), they are directly compatible with the Thrustmaster sticks and are extremely high quality. You may have to wait depending on which one you want.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good addition for DCS
*by S***C on January 12, 2026*

I recently added the Thrustmaster F/A 18 Grip Add On to my flight simulation setup, and it has taken my flying experience to a whole new level! This grip is designed with incredible attention to detail, replicating the feel and functionality of the real F/A-18 fighter jet controls. The ergonomics of the grip are outstanding—it fits comfortably in my hand and allows for precise control during flying. The various buttons and switches are well-placed and tactile, making it easy to operate while maintaining focus on the simulation. The integrated throttle control provides excellent responsiveness, enhancing my overall maneuverability. Installation was a breeze; it connects seamlessly with compatible Thrustmaster bases, and I appreciate how easy it is to configure within my flight simulation software. The customizable settings allow me to tailor the controls to my preferences, which is a significant plus for serious gamers.
