OMFG..

Ive been following the process of this hotas setup for a while, but now I realize that I MUST have it!

ALL METAL PARTS, new rudder system, super precise, good software..

Only bad part is that it has pots, but that shouldnt be so much of a problem since the stick is digital and the pots are high quality.

Ive been using the saitek for a few months and its still as precise as the first day, TM should do better!

I've been waiting for this one for quite some time now.

This is the setup that will replace my F22 Pro and TQS setup.

I gave my F22 and TQS to a friend with a disability. While I don't regret the move, I sure do miss the stick.

I'll be in line with my paycheck ready to hand it over when this is finally released.

Its gonna cost an arm and a leg, and your two front teeth, but it will be well worth it. I dont think you will ever need to replace it
*knocks wood*

I bet it cost under $150...prolly $125 just a guess.

Guillemot is a French company, which means Europe will at least get at the same time as the US! Or even before! Cool.

Paid a little more than that for just the F-22. The TQS was another $120.

I'd expect this to be comparable to those figures... maybe a little more.

They say that they are aiming for less than the F22/TQS as far as price goes.

Initial price or final price? The F22 was introduced at something like $249. The TQS was somewhat cheaper at $169. The prices came down after a month, but quite a few die-hards couldn't wait. Fortunately, my F-16 and WCS2 were serving me well.

For a French bloke, you have a great sense of humour.

If you will never forget Trafalgar, have you forgotten the Battle of the Nile, Vitoria, Waterloo, Agincourt...

... the list is endless.
