Eaglewings Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Great news on dcs F-16. Like others have said, I did not see this coming out this year too. Will definitely be pre-ordering the F-16. Amazing aircraft. Learning curve for her will be greatly reduced having had an extensive prior knowledge of the F-16 systems in another popular sim. Moreso, I am super excited to know by the announcement of the F-16 early access release later this year does means that the FA-18C would be feature-complete this year too. Great job ED.

That would be great, but the F-16 is far from being finished. Release is still half a year away and that will only be the early access release.

=Panther= Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So u know when you’re at the Thrustmaster booth in a few weeks, Wags. It might just be worth, giving them a nudge in the right direction for a rerelease, revamped model. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Request for the throttle re-release has long since been submitted, which is the only thing that would be needed since the hawg stick is the viper stick.

Well Technically the f-16 stick is a force sensing stick unlike the hog. So they would need to make one like the X-65 to be similar. The grips are the same though.

The Cougar didn’t have the the Z-axis on the CMS switch.

Dudikoff Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So, they only need to re-release the Cougar throttle and modify it to be standalone. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

some1 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So, they only need to re-release the Cougar throttle and modify it to be standalone. And update everything inside.

98abaile Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The current Cougar F-16 stick and throttle work perfetly well with the DCS: F-16C. The problem I face is finding one at a reasonable price in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
