Down side is the X series like a lot of other games will not detect the throttle as the stick and throttle are separate inputs
I've had to use a program/kernel module called unijoy as to map the inputs into one , It's a bit like vjoy

Since you use the Warthog, I assume you use some sort of rudder pedal as well? Which one?

What are your thoughts on the Logitech X-52? It is slightly more expensive than the Thrustmaster 16000.
Regards chair, I presume you mean these volairsim your link is dead.
if it can fit either warthog or x52 + others I would have thought you were safe, best to check though
There's also VKB too but again depending on what you want, costly can also be a wait for them too
here's a review on one of there sticks.

Never been a fan of the Saitek products that Logitech recently acquired.
Generally the only downside to using these sticks under Linux is the lack of the button remapping software. Good games provide these features themselves though. The X-series is a little sub standard in this regard, but X-Rebirth should work if I remember correctly. The earlier titles had problems with only accepting one stick (read: either stick or throttle - unless you manage to create a virtual device that merges both into one).

After doing some research on the egosoft forums, it turns out that they recently updated the game (X Rebirth) to better support joysticks in general. As of patch 4.30 the game seems to recognize both the joystick as well as the throttle. I did not have to install unijoy or anything at all. Just plug and play functionality. X Rebirth allows for complete mapping using all buttons and axes on both peripherals within the game itself. These Egosoft guys have done a great job supporting their project as well as supporting Linux with their games. I can't wait until X4 comes out so I can throw some tux bucks at them!
Edit: Using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 with kernel 4.13.0-32
Now I just gotta figure out how to make triple displays works for gaming.
