Eddie Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 you do realise guys that we are going to have to get the MFD's as well? the TM/ED thing and auto configuration for the warthog hotas will make them very attractive. groan I will tell girlfriend they "came as a set" LOL. It's times like this that make me especially glad that I measure my relationships in hours. No body to stop me spending a bloody fortune on A-10C.
DTWD Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 LOL. It's times like this that make me especially glad that I measure my relationships in hours. No body to stop me spending a bloody fortune on A-10C. There are words for people like you...;) Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

71st_Mastiff Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Right, who needs a girlfriend? Not me, cause she's gonna kill me anyway for throwing out 400 bucks on a joystick :D "Well if said girlfriend wants a $10,000.00 to $25,000.00 dollar diamond ring. She better be willing to accept a $400.00 chunk of metal sitting on your desk!" :thumbup: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

Bwaze Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Finally some news. Not all are good. :( New flash animation, with throttle detent info: http://www.thrustmaster.com/ And first signs of coming availability: Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog on Amazon.uk - no new information (almost empty page), except for the price. Recommended retail price £349.99 (418 EUR, $540), Amazon price £339.99 (406 EUR, $524). No preorder available yet. Ouch. Thrustmaster site cites "acquisition parameters at €399", but that seems to be the final retail price after discounts, and RRP even higher. Or it's the regional pricing again, where you can almost equal all prices in numbers (not in value of course). So €399 = £399 = $399. Oh and: Release Date: 16 July 2010 :)
159th_Viper Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Can effectively pre-order from Amazon. Not in stock; order now and we'll deliver when available I'm itching to order.......£10 off RRP with free delivery. Only thing holding me back is possibility of other outlets having product available sooner than Amazon. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

From what I hear the guy you are getting the mfd's from in aussie will stock the warthog, I heard that from a guy named chomp who likes to do projects using metal and wood ;)

hassata Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 got some last week from amazon us and four of the top buttons on one of the units stopped working after 10 minutes. gather some people had this problem especially upon release. still-great price there now-usd 52. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
coolts Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) got mine from amazon uk. no problems. robust, easy to install (download drivers from site and bin the daft micro-cd) makes FC2.0 sytems seem like a toy though. only falcon uses most of the buttons. back to AF till DCS:A-10 comes out!
