SimHog Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I've been wanting an F-35 HOTAS for years ... I'm assuming the RS PRO range of products vs Non-Pro range is that the PRO range is not available for public consumption? https://realsimulator.com/rs-35-pro/ Edited November 30, 2021 by CoderX71 Ryzen 9 3900X @4.6Ghz | ASUS STRIX ROG 570-F Gaming | 32GB HyperX Predator HX432C16PB3AK2-16 DDR4-3200 | Corsair Force MP600 1TB (OS and Games) | MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cordite Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I’m sure you could have the Pro if you wanted it. But read on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horus-DCS Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The consumer version is up for pre-order! RS-35 Throttle - Realsimulator | Online ShopThe amount of pre-order should reach 200 units at least, even in a month and a half, to get the unit at the lower price….? This sounds so pessimistic, but who knows. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The problem is that hardware for the F-35 is a niche market due to it‘s highly classified and we probably won‘t ever see it in DCSW or any other simulator with a professional and realistic flight model and other systems. So only hardcore fans will buy these products and that makes it dificult to sell it in a big quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cordite Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) It’s actually gone up. Before, the first few (was it 10?) units were going to be about 1350 euros. edit: they chose the F35 design as a “catch all”, that can be used for various modules. But for that price, I think it’s going to be tough to make the quota. Edited December 20, 2021 by cordite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supmua Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yeah it will be a tough sell at that price. The price would be cheaper if the product is made in China, but it is not something that they want to do. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

zcaa0g Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was expecting around $750 US. A swing and a miss on my guess. I applaud them though for sticking to their manufacturing guns though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supmua Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The price is for both throttle grip and base, so historically it won’t be below $1K considering how they price their preexisting joystick base and grips.

Unfortunately, manufacturing cost has also increased compared to 6 mo ago. 1470 euro is already unaffordable for most of the simmers, but it’s still fine, the list price is 3200 even without shipping fee…! If this pre-order process doesn’t fulfill 200 units in 90 days we have to pay whole 3200 to get a unit, that’s what they said. I can’t judge its value easily because I don’t have the product, but I doubt that they want to really sell it for ‘home simmers’. Anyway I would be in for the pre-order, let’s see how it will go.

Supmua Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I would be more likely to buy this if it had an F-16 grip.That’s coming also. I’ve seen the most recent picture and the throttle grip looks pretty much finished (can’t show it here but it looks a lot better than the TM Cougar). They are still working on the attachment accessory for the RS Throttle base that would make it a complete product. Again, it won’t be cheap. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

AlexCaboose Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) I ordered the day the pre-order went live. It looks like the price went up even higher after I ordered, so I consider myself lucky in that regard. I truly hope they can make the 200 unit pre-sale, or even more, in hopes of the price either staying the same or coming down. $2K USD inc. shipping is pretty hefty, and the $3200 Eur is going to be even more out of reach for most.
