The cobra is in stock. I'd like to know how much the gametrix throttle cost but I can't find an English language site for it.

1399 rubles, as far as I could understand of the Russian site. Why can't they type letters everyone would understand?  :furious

"no propitiatory drivers are required; truly plug-n-play"

pro·pi·ti·a·to·ry
[pruh-pish-ee-uh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee]
adjective
1.
serving or intended to propitiate.
2.
making propitiation; conciliatory.


pro·pi·ti·ate
[pruh-pish-ee-eyt] Show IPA
verb (used with object), pro·pi·ti·at·ed, pro·pi·ti·at·ing.

Think they meant proprietary?

And 'Fat Black Mamba?' Erm.

I have the Fat Black Mamba. I was one of the lucky ones to order early. I like it better than the Warthog. It is a bit smaller but very well balanced. No need to bolt it down. The x, y axis is extremely precise. The configurator software was a bit confusing at the beginning but I got it now. No center play at all. Love the rotaries. Very happy with it and looking forward to the Warthog grip adapter.  :banana: :banana: :banana:

I am 58 years old. Been playing with flight simulators since they first came out. Atari ST, Amiga then PC. I have enough joysticks to start a museum..lol. Right now I am using the Warthog throttle, VKB Mamba joystick and Saitek pedals. My other favorite controller setup is all CH. And yes, that's how Mongo rolls. :aok
