CH Products request

[StoOopiD]

I submitted an email in regards of a Force Feedback Fighter Stick.

 

If CH Products makes one.(fingers crossed) Would you buy one?

 

I'll post they're response.

 

Please give me a +1 by emailing CH Products @ mailto:Inquiries@chproducts.com

+1, I have there fighter stick it's awesomeness, I feel it's way better than the Warthog!:thumbup:

[StoOopiD]

I feel CH Products quality is top notch.:thumbup:

[Cali]

I want a Cougar with CH guts.

Although the first with FFB, CH Products will probably not entertain FFB, again.

[danilop]

Although FFB would be great, I would like to see some design improvements on fighterstick and throttle pro, especially the later.

 

Not in quality department (CH products are arguably the best if you look for long term reliability), but in functionality: dual stage trigger on the stick and redesigned throttle (not far from franken-potato mod). Pedals need some attention as well.

[531-Ghost]

Franken-Potato? Mod?

[danilop]

:worthy::megalol::thumbup:

[danilop]

531-Ghost,

 

Is Franken-Potato Mod still available, BTW?

[531-Ghost]

Yes, the latest revision, is still available.

[StoOopiD]

This stick with FFB would be the best stick ever!

 

Even better then the TM Warthog. IMO.

its a shame that the Warthog didnt come with FFB:(

 

FFB improves the simulation experience by 1000%

[StoOopiD]

Franken-Potato? Mod?

 

Im impressed.:thumbup:

 

Can u Franken-Nachos this stick? lol

[StoOopiD]

Im just hoping with enough emails they might actually make a new FFB stick. Please email CH Products @ mailto:Inquiries@chproducts.com

 

the joystick market needs something new.

[StoOopiD]

y not?

[danilop]

It's not that simple ...

 

HOTAS market (especially hard core simulation) is niche market with very few software releases, and you need to have perfect timing when releasing new hardware product.

 

CH have A-10c HOTAS (as real as it gets outside cockpit) for military customers, but decided against release on civilian market (Why, I don't know - it could be contract with USAF or their market research findings):

 

 

Thrustmaster jumped on opportunity and we know the result. Logitech and Saitek tried as well, with mixed success.

 

I think that next major push on HOTAS market will coincide with release of DCS: Fighter project - couple of years from now, at least.

 

And yes, FFB properly executed is great stuff.

waoh!is that real or is it a fake??

why the hell dont they sell that to the puplic?i would certainly pay for that HOTAS.

[531-Ghost]

Yes, it is real. I've laid my hands on it at the factory. Due to considerable restraints (Federal Government) that HOTAS is not available to the public. It sells for about 10k.

[531-Ghost]

y not?

 

ROI just not there.

[danilop]

Very real:

That's EvilBivol? No it can't be. I imagined him with Afghan beard and scarier in general.

 

Back on topic. CH makes nice HOTAS and I'd love for them to enter into the mix, but it looks as if they're content with fading into obscurity.

Without Control Manager, well...:sad_2:

[leafer]

Sorry I'm not sure what you meant by that as I'm not at all current on CH news.

[531-Ghost]

Sorry, let me clarify, it means, for now, your comment IMO is pretty accurate. Without Control Manager and it's capabilities to program CH Products, fading into obscurity although a long way off IMO, is not out of the relm of possibility. We can however, hope, they do enter something new in the retail world.

[leafer]

Oh? So Bob Church stopped supporting CM or has he stopped CH from using it? When I said fade into obscurity I only meant there has been nothing new from them in decade(s).
