Steel Jaw Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 Does anyone know if this stick will be seen by the old Cougar base or will the base need a firmware update?

Mr_sukebe Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 It’s most definitely a “nice to have” than a necessity. Mine is centre mounted on a virpil T50 base with 120mm swan neck extension. It’s a great combination, being very precise and with the grip having a lovely feel. It’s also very cool when you’re in either the F18 or Harrier to see the cockpit in VR, and have the same grip follow a very similar arc. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Bedouin Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 The F-18 stick is it not pretty similar to the F-15E stick, because then i can use it with the F-18 until the F-15E is released...

I think the grip on the Strike Eagle has no thumb rest at the weapon select switch and lacks the recce button, but i'm not sure about that.

Okay thanks, this was also what i guessed but wasn't sure... so no need for another investment..
Waxer Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Is it a good investment? Thanks!:pilotfly: I charge A LOT for investment advice. However - free advice - the Hornet grip is superb. Great feel, great buttons, great functionality and great immersion for AV-8B and F/A-18C. If you can afford it, get one. (As OP said, used prices are high, so you can always sell it on for modest loss after having experienced and enjoyed it for a while). Thrustmaster grips really are excellent value for money especially considering what others mfg charge for plastic grips with surface mount buttons. The difference is that the other mfg offer additional choice (like the F-14 grip, B-8 grip, Russian Modern Mig grips so on) that is a gap in the market. So it's plastic and cheap buttons or nothing for those jets. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The price is not a problem, i am already using a fortune on hardware for this Sim :megalol: was more in the question of it can be used with the F-18 and the upcoming F-15E... But thanks
