Hotas Warthog Priced

[ilikepie]

you could spend the money before she does and then tell her to earn some more.

 

or do what she does, "it was on sale, and there are no returns"

 

or let them buy the 500 dollar boots etc, and just remind them of it when you get something, and say " honey, how are those hot looking boots that cost the same as a NASA space program?"

 

at the close of play, everyone likes to spend cash on "guff" on themselves.

Haha, Honey: the HOTAS Warthog was on sale and there are no returns! It was originaly $600!

I hate how in modern culture a guy in a marriage being "whipped" is somehow cute and funny.

 

We're on a budget and the simple fact is I cannot afford this new HOTAS.

Guys that complain about people consulting their wives:

 

Did you ever stop to consider the fact that when you move together, marry, and start building a family it stops being a "you" and starts being an "us", and you both have to chip in to keep things rolling. This is the point where women end up learning to stop buying shoes, and men learn to stop buying fancy toys, and both figure out that keeping the finances sound for the sake of the children is a top priority.

 

Seriously, I'm a bachelor and I can figure that one out easy. :P

Well said!

It's been 16 years of hard graft building a home, with rugrats 12 and 7 years respectively and it's only now that I can request an 'early christmas present' with a relatively clear conscience.......It's all Good!

I just moved to Decatur, GA USA and lost my sim equipment (Saitek X-45 and Track IR 5) during the move. There is so much house related stuff that needs to be taken care of I can't even justify purchasing a stick or Track IR at the moment. Life is always > than a hobby.

Isnt it nice to be whipped ?

Was that directed at me?? If so. :lol:

[Steel Jaw]

LMFAO...the only guys who deride us for being whipped are (a) kids who know nothing (b) single men who have no clue © married men who married mindless dead heads with no will.

In the absence of the DCS A10C I'd say not. :thumbup:

[Vekkinho]

OK I tried Simware but they have no Cougars listed as available anymore and I see no TM-Warthog preorder possibilities!

 

Does anyone know any retailers in Europe that ship worldwide and take preorders for Warthog?

 

I know some of you already ordered it...Boberro?!

 

Thanks!

[Callsign.Vega]

I ordered from: http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop/shop.cgi?action=enter&thispage=01100200U025_BDE6442P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!

 

It look's like they have 4-5 pre-orders already.

Is this place legit? Shipping is massive to Canada :(

Yes, they are legit. I've ordered from them before. Shipping is free in the US. I guess it would be a tad expensive to Canada as the box is almost like 10 kilograms.

It seems they are:

I guess so. It's nearly $100 shipping. I don't think I can justify that :(

Thanks for posting that link. I went ahead and pre-ordered the stick. Wags recommendation sold it for me.

[Deigs]

I really don't want to miss out on this Joystick, but I'm still going to wait a month after release to find the best shipping to Australia, or hopefully a HOTAS available in Australia. Just hope there is still stock.

[71st_Mastiff]

well mmm lets see I hope thats the case but will wait until the official reports come out on how programmable the system will be. unlike the G940 with its problems and how long ago was that released?

Anything specific you'd like to know?

 

Obviously I don't know precisely what's going to be done in the box...but I know that what I can program already is pretty impressive and they're only adding more features, not removing...

[y2kiah]

any chance you can share dimensions of the throttle base, or is that information restricted by an NDA?

[71st_Mastiff]

like the dual thrust control is it working with A10 FC2 also? were I can control each engine?

Yes you can control both engines with the dual throttles.:joystick:

10.75" L (9.5" if the base plate is removed.)

6" W

2" H (only the base, excluding the switches and throttles.)
