TM Warthog and CLOD

[Hood]

I'm looking at buying the Warthog to cope with all the extra commands needed for CEM. I currently have a CH Fighterstick with X52 throttle (I use the joystick just for extra buttons) and CH pedals. I've got a number of things I can't really find the answers to (conflicting reports from those with different games) specifically to do with IL2 or CLOD.

Specifically I'd like to know if it is capable of using the thottle to adjust trim on the fly without using the trim thing on the base. Also, though I'm a single-engined person can you use the split throttle to command two engines? Plus, on the front of the throttle there appear to be two 4-way hat switches - is this right?

Can whoever has a Warthog setup tell me of any niggles or problems they experience with it other than those to do with crossing axes and button pressures etc. If there are any positives that will induce me to part with my cash I'd love to hear those too, if only to convince myself to pay out...

I've been reading the online reviews etc but if anyone has links to more technical discussions, I'd be glad to have them.

Cheers
