Hotas Warthog?
« on: November 03, 2009, 12:47:37 PM »
Something new cooking... http://www.thrustmaster.com/
Only some slogans at front page though :( Has anyone seen any rumors or pics or specs anywhere?

I am currently considering a new stick for Win7, since I have understood that my trusty old MS Sidewinder2 FFB will not work anymore with it. At least its forces may not work. Thus been thinking about Logitech G940. Just wondering a lot, if this Warthog would be worth waiting :)

Supposed to be a massive upgrade on the Cougar lineage from what I can gather through a few contacts I have made over the years.

So with hall sensors you have no wear and tear, no degradation of performance ever, right?

Question is: How much $$$ will it cost?
