Bearfoot Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Prior to the event, no there wasn't. I also include the Thrustmaster announcement of the event as the event. Prior to that there was no hint, anywhere, that such a thing was coming. According to all Thrustmaster official announcements a new high-end stick wasn't planned until 2020. Sorry you didn't get the memo. But that does not mean it was not there. It was. IIRC the strongest hint was given by a (DCS) press release indicating some sort of add-on stick to tie-in with the DCS F-18 demo at E3, and this came out some two weeks before the event. The reddit group hoggit was all a-flutter about it for a while after that. EDIT: Here you go: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3152953 and /r/hoggit going wild with joy at the inference of the possibility of an F-18 stick addon: Now, you may dispute the parsing of the press release to indicate an F-18 stick was going to be revealed and thus not take it as a hint (I was skeptical, too), but: (a) other people took it as a hint, anyway; and (b) they were right and you would be as wrong as I was. :) Edited June 15, 2017 by Bearfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I wonder if wags or someone at the show could give us the system specs they're running on the demo rig. I heard him talk about Alienware and a GTX1080 in the video, but further specs would be nice! Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

He gave the CPU and/or Alienware Model Number in the interview, AFAIK, it'd likely be the rig in his signature or similar.

33-DFTC Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 They haven't hinted at a throttle quadrant for the Hornet. In a matter of fact, they did. But you had to understand french as the hint had been given during an interview with Gilles Raulet, Thrustmaster Development Director, for a french website. The word out there is to not hold your breath until 2020. There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 A Complete New Thrustmaster HOTAS isnt Due out till 2020, Whether or not the Logitech, Saitek, MadCatz closures and Ownership changes affect that is not publicly disclosed. However, TM Can Put out a Handgrip to coincide w/ the F/A-18 RELEASE (as in Not EARLY ACCESS), before 2020, then put the throttle and new HOTAS Bundle out in 2020 as they had planned.

Abburo Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I see no appeal for the new F18 grip. The A10 stick is a lot more ergonomic then the new one. Could be however a option for those searching to build a replica cockpit... otherwise the Virpil and VKB releases are clearly better, even better then the A10.

The Black Swan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Either Olgerd or Wags said the Hornet uses new SFX. From what i can hear in those hand held camera recordings it sounds AWESOME. I was afraid that the Hornet might get SFX similar to the FC3 aircraft, which are only ok if you crank up the volume really loud IMO. In MP its always so much more exciting when a Mirage flys over the base you start at as opposed to others. Really happy about that. :joystick: GeForce GTX 970, i5 4690K 3.5 GHz, 8 GB ram, Win 10, 1080p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz_44 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks so much for sharing these videos Panther! The sound of the Hornet's gun firing is exactly the same as the A10's Avenger? Probably a placeholder. Should probably sound more like an F15 firing (M61 Vulcan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
