Hotas Warthog Priced

[coolts]

• backlit switches
  
• metal backlit switches
  
• metal weighted backlit switches that go "thunk" apparantly
  

Also, (bringing myself off my cloud a little), DCS:A-10 will use ALL of those lovely MFD switches and buttons straight out of the box. No more "LSHIFT-RALT-T, (NUM LOCK ON)", key combinations.

 

My other half spied the amazon page with my order the other day and was "shocked" that I was going to pay £320 for a hobby. A quick few queries into how much she spent on handbags, etc because she needed "something to go with...[insert other expensive item]", shut her up. Honestly! If i was spending that kind of money on druge every week, people would be patting me on the back and giving me leaflets.

Hiya Conuk - hows tings? your new little'un giving you any free flying time?

 

The page has vanished but the pre-orders stand, (for now). I haven't had the "order cancelled" email yet. Ive been half expecting it to be honest.

 

I reckon TM told Amazon to remove the page until they have a definite release date.

 

Maybe the speedbrake switches are misaligned ;)

hey coolts fine mate - been Iracing a bit lately ..... but got the urge to get a Warthog... why ? I dunno lol.... nuthing wrong with the Cougar but still.....

 

lucky I guess the page is down.... maybe maybe .... chaching !!!!!

 

speedbrakes.... oh no not again !

 

as for the little guy - walking around now all over the place .... so easier to sit him on lap with steering wheel..... must learn him to control rudders for me that would be easier ;)

[coolts]

Good news. All you really want is the throttle i reckon as you have a mega modded stick dont you? Hopefully someone at TM sales will have a lightbulb on over there heads and think, "we can make more money here by selling throttles seperatly to modded cougar users". kerching! ££$$**

 

**in an ideal world

[Conuk]

in an ideal word yes.... but probably not ;)

[Pilotasso]

Or they had the even more brilliant idea to supply the stick with the throttle just in case you eventualy need a spare for your cougar. :D

[coolts]

There will be a thriving market in ebay-ed Cougars getting snapped up for spares. The gimbals & pots are gone, (YAY), but the switches & handle could be the same.

 

Ive been getting spare bits and bobs from TM direct. Takes a month but V cheap. Installed a nice tight new H4. Old one was slacker than a tramps back teeth!

[Teej]

The handle is completely different. They are plug swappable, but the actual construction is entirely new. Not so much as a screwhole in the same place as a cougar handle.

[hassata]

Anyone know if the HOTAS will be sold in the the US and Europe at the same time?

TM are a French\Canadian company so i should think so. We will know when the pages finally appear properly on Amazon.

 

If they come with a free voucher for DCS: A-10 i will personally get a Charles De Gaulle poster for my office.

 

And I won’t draw on it ;)

[Steel Jaw]

Bah! Waaay outta my price range. Dunno who CAN afford it...

[Teej]

All the cool kids are getting 'em.

The prone-to-violence-cop-wife would make it look like an accident if I spent that kinda dough on "gaming crap" as she calls it.

[Conuk]

[HitchHikingFlatlander]

Nice find on the price Polecat, thats really not bad if it ends up being the average price. Of course after the world gets its hands on it and reviews the thing!
