I heard that the U.S. did try to go metric...I heard it didn't go well, which I guess would be an obvious statement since we do not use it today.
Interestingly enough, there's been a bit of a history, I found this on CNN:

Is Thrustmaster updating and re-releasing the Hotas Cougar?
Thrustmaster displayed it at Flight Sim Expo 2019 and is showing it with F-18 Stick
Word on the street is that the Hotas Cougar Throttle on display at Flight Sim expo 2019 had its own USB connector. (Although this has not been verified)
I might be late to this party, so my apologies but I did not see anyone mention this information in this thread. I know people are hoping and praying for an updated Cougar. I've never owned one, but would be certainly interested. My understanding is that "current" Cougar throttles are not USB with a market for conversions, adapters, etc. I saw your photo and mention of "word on the street" about the one on the table at the 2019 show being USB. TM's page on the cougar, under the features tab, says it's a "Full Speed USB". I have no knowledge of an out of the box TM Cougar with USB, is that a thing, is TM's website wrong, or is this something coming, but not broadcast? Again, my apologies if I'm rehashing old information.

I filed down my AB detent tab in my warthog so that it provides a firm defined stop point but I can now just push through without having to lift the throttles over the stop. Perfect solution. Now all I need is a good curve setting to get 100% RPM at the detent and AB as I push through. Anyone have a good setting for the axis?
For the Viper and the Warthog throttle, I tuned the axis and played with "saturation x". After a LOT of testing, I ended up with that number at 68. For me, matches the gate with the warthog detent pretty spot on.

Looks to me like the image was pretty close to the ground. I'm guessing he was actually in an egress trainer. The quick pan of the camera looked like someone standing right next to the pit.
Any New F-16 Throttle being made anywhere?

So, the same basic setup as the plastic set from TM. Got ya. I got too much on my plate to begin trying to project piece one, but I'd love a decent quality Viper throttle that wasn't over $1K USD.
