F/A-18 HOTAS INCLUDE FULL THROTTLE/JOYSTICK RELEASE(UPDATE 2019.3.21)

[Greekbull]

Like Gladman, I definitely have interest in the panel!:D

[BMCha]

If the Panel is what we see in F-18C (DCS version), I definitely want it. If not, I'd be torn.

 

Looking at the diagrams in the OP (side view and the tiny bits in between the blur) and comparing to DCS I have to say I like what I'm seeing.

While you're at it can you design a seat with mounts for stick, throttle, and a platform that moves up, down, forward, and back in relation to the seat to mount our pedals on? Modular in most respects including screen mounts so folks could run VR, track IR, or plain ol screen like they did back in 2016. Extra credit for motion seat... :)

 

Course then I'd have to figure out how to hide the costs or deal with Mrs Crab wandering by Louis Vuitton in a revenge spend. Sigh... O_o

I keep telling you guys. The stock answer is:

 

This old thing? I've had it for years in the garage. I really wish you'd pay more attention to my hobby for a change.

 

 

Drop the mic and walk off shaking your head. And you'll be golden. And if it doesn't work, you're dead anyway, but you'll have the new HOTAS. :D:D:pilotfly:

[Huilque151]

The panel its really important, in VR we need buttons arround and near the HOTAS, the external lights, the fuel panel and APU and CRACK its will be nicee

Sorry not in our plan right now, we hope more seat manufacturer can join it.

We're having fun again WINWING. I've traveled extensively and I suspect you would have a good laugh if the same were said in your own language. I'm truly sorry you cant enjoy these things with us even though they are a non sequitur. Meanwhile, try and relax. We want you to make this product and we want to buy it if it is indeed worth buying. You have nothing to fear, you are among a community of people who live and breath this hobby.

 

If you would be willing to take a suggestion... Use a translator; you are missing a lot of what we're saying and the context in which it is being said. I think you may not have access to google but there are others which are less effective but still work. Please understand I mean no disrespect with this suggestion.

I fully agree Crab, it would be the right time to add someone with a deeper understanding of English to the company or maybe we have a member here that speaks Chinese.

 

And WinWing... your English is 1000 times better than my Chinese!!! 你的英语比我的中文好1000倍！or 你的英语比我的中文好1000倍！thank you Google translate :)

 

I work in the US for a Dutch company and I moved here 21 years ago. I have seen big and costly R&D mistakes because the Dutch marketing and R&D people did not understand the small details or nuances expressed in English.

 

We all want your product to be a success.

[Mr_Burns]

Thank you ,may I ask why you not want the panel?

 

 

Well from what I can tell, the buttons to the left of the throttle are no use in DCS and as said by someone else I already have the panels behind it in my simpit.

 

 

Also, it makes it very aircraft specific. Lets say you made a stand alone throttle you 'could' make interchangeable throttle tops for different aircraft, once you have an F/A-18 base then its an F/A-18 forever.

 

 

A bit like the Stick, if Thrustmaster ever got around to making the F-18 Stick (or any other) the gimbal is just a gimbal and non aircraft specific you can attach the new Stick but their throttle is always an A-10 Throttle.

 

 

I just think you could make a stand alone throttle then perhaps and additional panel so you can buy it with or without you may get more sales?

Hi Crab, my spoken english is very poor, but after read years english manual and mail by english, I can understand you mean by translator. I'm glad you consider our hotas as a LV level hobby:lol:

 

But you are right ,some time I have to spend more time to think and guess what you mean:cry: If we can earn enough money...We will immediately find a cute girl who speak english!!!!we have enough boys here to develop/manufacture , what we want is GIRL!!!!

 

Joke above, glad to hear more suggestion from yours , my dear friend who born for flight!

Also thank you DutchCoolHand.

You just made my day with the announcement of the three panels as it makes much more fun to play DCS with some panels and switches.

 

Not everyone has the space or money for a home cockpit and therefore panels would be a great opportunity for all the people who doesn't have a home pit. Really hope that there will be more panels at a later point (maybe a front panel with a UFC, some DDI's, Masterarm switch and Master Mode button).

 

Really looking forward to get more information soon.

[WINWING]
