Title: When the heck is the Cougar due out?
Post by: Curval on February 26, 2002, 09:52:41 AM

I have been waiting patiently for the Hotas Cougar Joystick to be released since November 2001.  The web site has said "Availiable Soon" since I first looked at it.

Anyone have any info on this?

My Sidewinder Precsion Pro (USB) stick is starting to really "act up"...I need a new stick and Cougar seems to be the best...

Thanks Straffo (my ONLY French friend ;) )

Long time to wait for a joystick, but from what I have heard, and seen on the site, it looks to be worth it.

hehe :)

Concerning the handling it better than I thought(*) at first (not being  a jet jockey myself) I'll stick to my X36 only because of the cost I prefer giving present to my little girl :).

I've made a little error in my previous post the cougar should be available worldwide the 21 march not the 22.
And as far as I know the parcels are somewhere on the sea going  to USA and Europe ...

A nice addition to the Cougar would be one of these things. Notice in the details it comes with a Cougar :)

Although I kinda like this one better 'cuz the stick is centered and it's a WW2 replica.
