hansangb Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 It's an F-15C in the top left of the pic but yeah the aircraft carrier location is going to cause some hype. But that could be just because it's on the Intrepid on the west side highway. We'll see I suppose.

Kuky Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 They better not make the new HOTAS crap again, with shitty gimbals. Anyway I am already set, have super rudder pedals (which I never intend changing) and floor mounted HOTAS, for me works like a charm. :D PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
FeistyLemur Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I want a large wooden steering wheel. We are having dcs ships, boats and subs aren't we? Well, you know if you want a good ship sim you're going to have to get your kids in the basement with the engine controls and set up an engine order telegraph. 1
wormeaten Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 It will certainly be interesting. I would still like to see flight pedals from them, but I am not hopeful. Agree but pricing will be questionable. With MFG Crosswind they can't beet performance per $.
Rogue Trooper Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Certainly looks like pedals in the image but for me the MFGs have ended that search. Bound to be the F-18.... For me it stands no chance against the Hawg stick as it is just Hat Heaven! And yes I do have a hat perversion.

Kayos Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Yay! Hopefully a F-18 HOTAS to go with DCS:F-18, like it was with the Warthog :) I sure hope so [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TomCatMucDe Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) New Thrustmaster gear coming soon It would be painful to switch between throttles for those who already own the warthog HOTAS. As I fly much less the A10 now, I'd keep only the hornet HOTAS. Edited April 9, 2016 by TomCatMucDe
Headwarp Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 quite frankly I'm hoping if they do release an f-18 stick that they'll improve upon/replace the plastic gimbal in the warthog stick...and that my warthog stick is compatible with it.

recoilfx Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Honestly, the Warthog gimbal design is actually pretty good, they just need tighter tolerances and good grease. Offering lighter springs can also make it more palatable to space/arcade sims. In any case, I am excited to see what they have in store for us.

Offering lighter springs can also make it more palatable to space/arcade sims. In any case, I am excited to see what they have in store for us. The design is good.. the tension is good.. the materials and lack of attention to detail that causes sticktion for many users including myself is bad. Having to take this thing apart to apply a better grease and possibly sand out rough edges/too snug/fits. People use extensions.. some have broken the gimbal attaching their extensions. But if their next expensive designer stick has the plethora of "sticktion" post that the hawg has I'll be doing my best to pre-order from VKB personally within the next few years. So, doubting TM will ever see this post.. I'm just saying. I'd love it if they'd fix the only flaw I can find with my warthog, and maybe include this technology with future hogs on the market, if continued. It' all speculation until they announce their products anyway. :) Spoiler Win 11 Pro, z790 i9 13900k, RTX 4090 , 64GB DDR 6400GB, OS and DCS are on separate pci-e 4.0 drives Sim hardware - VKB MCG Ultimate with 200mm extension, Virpil T-50CM3 Dual throttles.

TomCatMucDe Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I'm surprised why you guys want absolutely the F18 to swap it in with your warthog stick. Both have the same buttons almost with warthog having a D pad. The big difference to us the throttle actually. Different buttons and lack if rotary for the radar.
Decibel dB Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 MFGs are nice but, unless I modify my pit frame severely, they are too wide. You know MFG have a adaptor that adjust it by a good 3".

Grim_Smiles Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Yes. At it's smallest, it is still too wide. My Saitek Combat pedals fit by a millimeter. Really glad you made this comment, I've been shopping around for a new set of pedals because my saitek combat pedals are too big for my obutto cockpit and I can't get full travel with them. Was looking at the MFGs and wondering on whether they would fit, guess I know the answer to that now. Here's hoping TM produces some quality pedals and that they are more compact.

pepin1234 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 New MFD with screens will be awesome. I don't like buy the current MFD in stock, look a very cheap product for simmers. They need make this with screens in build. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
