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 ?

Animal · « **Reply #6 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.

Exile · « **Reply #7 on:** May 08, 2001, 08:37:00 PM »

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"

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

cheers

WHEN??? WHEN??? WHEN????
And, in the meanwhile, where to get F16 replacement pots in Europe?

Its my understanding that i will come with built in external rudder support.

DB603 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 09, 2001, 11:00:00 AM »

S!

In my understanding the whole TM Cougar with pedals will weigh about 10kg!Think of the HUGE shipment costs!

But definitely I will buy one of these,even it will cost a fortune here in Europe

DB, TM productcs official distributor is Gillemot (Europe), dont worry about prices here

straffo · « **Reply #13 on:** May 10, 2001, 03:45:00 AM »

DB just look where Britany is

Guillemot is a french enterprise.

DB603 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 10, 2001, 12:16:00 PM »

S!

But I live in the butthole of Europe..Finland!EVERYTHING is overtaxed and overpriced here

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
