BigBorner Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 HI Folks, I was wondering why i could not find a thread on this (sorry if i missed something). However; There seems to be a Austrian Team that currently is putting together an Eurofighter HOTAS. It seems it will take some time until its available, but looks quite promising from my point of view. What do you guys think? Thats the Link to their Website: https://www.falcon-matter.com/ 1

I am on the Verge of "It almost sounds to good to be true", but I will keep an Eye on it. At some Point they mentioned somewhere "Force Sensing TDC", but i cant find it anymore (or i am blind). As i absolutely love having a sliding Throttle, there arent that much options to replace my TWCS. Plus: its an Eurofighter Throttle.

CowanSim Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 This seems really strange tbh. They claim to be estimating delivery December 23 however also have not launched the kickstarter campaign nor have any test bed hardware to show. Sceptical this will be a 2023

Sceptical this will be a 2023 Haha, yes, i am also very sceptical of the timeline. But, to be honest, i dont care. As long as it might really be existing - being it in 2 or 3 years - and living up to the promises i am completely happy.
Zahnatom Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 speaking of HOTAS, does anyone know what the button functions on the HOTAS are? like what you'd need for air to air radar stuff #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam

Delta-canard Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 Their website seems down... I would love to see this project succeed even if I probably wouldn't be among the first buyers.

Quote Website will be down for a few weeks, as we are doing a website overhaul and are considering moving our hosting. Have a great day! Quote For those of you who might be wondering about our unusual radio silence here’s a sitrep. Currently we are awaiting a qoute for the machining and processing of the sheet metal needed for our prototype. Think of this as the calm before the storm, we’re excited to share our prototype and let you into the doors it will open for us. 1 #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam
Scott-S6 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) The most recent update on the project is that it's dead. The guy doing most of the work has pulled out. ETA - they're trying to keep it going and find people who can do the design/dev work. I hope they can but it's definitely in a shakier place at the moment. Edited October 24, 2023 by Scott-S6 1

The only EF HOTAS manufacturers that I know of at the moment are Reiser ST and Realismulator, both of which are not currently selling those at commercially reasonable prices for private hobbyists. I know Winwing's brand representative said some time ago, that once the EF releases to DCS, they would be "moving mountains" to make a Winning EF HOTAS happen, but I believe the specific person who was in that position at Winwing has since retired from the company. This was on the HOTAS subreddit community Discord server.
