Bwaze Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Bump. Sorry, people usually look only last page. :) Btw, I'm not in any way connected to Thrustmaster / Guillemot, other than being their customer. :P Pasted images from Amazon together. Nice box art, and almost readable. :thumbup: So, another month and a half of waiting... But it looks like it will be worth it. Although I must admit I'm looking forward to try the TARGET on Cougar first.
coolts Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I changed my preorder from Amazon to SimWare, I'd save very little but according to the dates I'll have it about a week earlier than from Amazon so a no brainer.

Pilotasso Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 The difference is when the demand is greater than the offer. Those who preorder get it first while others wait for preorders to be fulfilled first. ;) .

TwoLate Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 That is one sexy thing you posted Bwaze. Thanks. It feels like Pron. When I have those pics on the screen I hope the wife does not walk by. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
leafer Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 They say practice makes perfect so I'm going to start practicing bursting through the door and into the apartment with a similar sized box screaming "I won this in a contest!". Cuz I don't think I can convince her it ONLY cost us 19.95. Not this time around...Look at the built quality on them suckers. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

CrashEd Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Look whats re-appeared on amazon! Same date as before! WOOOOOOOOT!!!!! methinks TM have given the greenlight! Cheers for the heads-up guys :thumbup: Finally I've managed to pre-order one of these beauties :D :D
Succellus Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 The first set of images, when we see the joy from the left angle have a grey part that look like a thumb button, near the pickle one (BTN2). Its doesnt appear on the other images..... I wonder. Another question is Will USB3 be usefull with the warthog ? Or it ain t worth it ?

sobek Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Another question is Will USB3 be usefull with the warthog ? Or it ain t worth it ? I doubt it will support USB 3. USB 3 makes no sense purely as an interface for HIDs, as data rates can easily be coped with by USB 2. USB 3 was mainly developed to deliver greater bandwith for use with external storage devices. Note also that USB 3 will employ a different type of connector compared with USB 2. The two are not directly compatible (they are with the use of an adaptor, though). Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
sweinhart3 Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 A joystick can operate with USB1 without bogging down the bandwith. The computer simply polls the joystick periodically and a few bytes are sent back and forth. The bandwith used is practically nothing compared to other devices like a memory stick or a printer.

LOL - that depends on how large the uploaded programming files are. :lol: j/k! Edit: They are downward-compatible. You can use an USB3 cable for a USB1/2-connection, but when using an USB2-cable to connect a USB3-device, you will only be able to use USB2.

I erroneously confused the usb 3 conector with something else. Now i just have to find out what the other thing is :) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

Feuerfalke Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 This is a schematic of the USB 3.0 connector: As you can see there are 5 additional contacts added to the rear. The forward four connectors stay the same. USB 3.0 cables are more expensive because of the additional wiring, but since they are also used for high-speed connections, they are usually better shielded. I use 2 USB 3.0 cables for that reasons and found them to be more stable than the standard USB 2.0 cable.

MTFDarkEagle Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Ninefinger, you can preorder it on amazon.co.uk, or on simw. simw is stationed in belgium, since you live in spain: that should be convenient (at least more than the uk (i think)). Max shipping cost is €46 That's where I'm going to preorder mine Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
