Cowboy10uk Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Considering foxy was created by a sim fan in his spare time for other fans, it's a damn fine piece of software. Very powerful if you spent some time with it-just look at a Jagstang's profile for F4 or Viper's for FC2 and BS. Please don't think, for one min i'm slagging off Foxy, As you say it was created by a fan for the fans, Yes it was very powerful, But Thats it, the software had to be created by the fans to use the Cougar. I used Jagstang's profile for F4 for many years and loved it, In fact was the only profile I could get to work. Although I freely admit, thats down more to user error, than Foxy. This time It sounds like TM, have made a powerful programming software from the start including the wonderful idea of plug and play for DCS A10, So we get a fully Realistic Hotas, with all the buttons in the right place and NO programming. That is what i'm excited about. So Im sorry If I offended anyone with my last post, My intention certainly wasnt to make Foxy sound like bad programming or I didnt respect the amount of work that went into it for the fans.

MTFDarkEagle Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 new ETA of the blt website: 26th.. Would want to have some more info from thrustmaster Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
CrashEd Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 The lack of any further, official announcements from TM worries me slightly.
Cowboy10uk Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Don't worry too much guys. Im sure it will be worth it when it does land. ( at least I hope so ) ;) look at it this way. Longer it takes, the longer we have to convince our better halfs, it really is a good investment :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

hassata Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 Also, I not sure I would want to even crack open the box until A-10C arrives. It would be too much of a pain to program for FC2, BS, F4AF and FSX. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It would be too much of a pain to program for FC2, BS, F4AF and FSX. Can't argue with that. Too be honest chances are will only use the stick for DCS A10, mmmm may not tell the wife that I'm planning to spend £300 on a stick for just one sim. Then again she never found out I only got the Cougar for F4 :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

To be fair, I meant I won't be playing anything on my HD anymore. All bets are off when it comess to new releases. However, t'is true BOB slipped my mind just then.

jocko417 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Not surprised if that's the case. Everyone is seeing the hardware previewed, has anyone seen boo about TARGET yet? I think the software is going to delay this one.
CrashEd Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Not surprised at all tbh. There's been jack-all build up to its release, and as mentioned, next to no info regarding the software.
coolts Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, i've just had a rare moment of clarity. All of us who have preordered....... With no DCS:A-10 yet are we really going to sit there for a month setting up a profile for Falcon or FC2? I would rather iron all my socks to be honest. Unless H.E.A.R.T. makes alt-tabing all day fun! ......[thinking] ......[still thinking] ...... If TM include profiles for AF and FC2.0 i will drive over to France just to give them a hug!
