Ok, it looks nice!!

Now let's play guess the price.

I say it will be around $295.00 US.

So it doesn't have any potentiometers right ?
Title: [drool]ThrustMaster HOTAS Cougar [/drool]
Post by: Animal on May 08, 2001, 07:05:00 PM
yeah it uses pots, but the signal is processed digitally, and according to them its a new kind of pots wich works good.

anyone know if they are coming out with new rudder pedals?

I'd like to buy the whole package, but could wait for new rudder pedals if they are coming.

. The prototype for the new rudder pedals was too rough for me to take photographs. It will be of the same quality as the HOTAS.

Looks like it Exile .

You would figure that Bob Church will come up with a way to add CH pedals to it though for older games like he did for the Saitek Hotta's , "I hope"  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The software for that sticks looks really great . If I read it right you can do more or less like the AH program does with stick scaling right in fox program . A real plus over Saitek right now . Will wait and see how it works out with the new uses before I buy .

Love also the option of the differant handles , as not everyone has the same sized hand print   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

cheers

S!

 In my understanding the whole TM Cougar with pedals will weigh about 10kg!Think of the HUGE shipment costs! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)But definitely I will buy one of these,even it will cost a fortune here in Europe  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

S!

But I live in the butthole of Europe..Finland!EVERYTHING is overtaxed and overpriced here  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) I really hope Guillemot puts a reasonable price tag on that thing.By this I mean that it's price will be above average,but still within reachable...This stick is what I have been waiting for years.No crappy plastic sticks that get loose in a few weeks in AH  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Looks like it's time to mention that I run my own computer company. It might be interesting to branch out, especially since I work in the aerospace industry (currently at BAe Systems in Stanmore and Milton Keynes) where we have a lot to do with the Typhoon and Tornado.

DB603 - I don't normally, but I'm always interested in making money!

I don't have anything directly to do with the planes.
