I saw some posts yesterday at fb but the announcement came to soon!

They need to also solo the throttle, as the tension on mine has already worn down to nothing.

 

The tensioning wheel, it pushes and pulls a tiny plastic brake type system on the throttle, the more tension the harder the plastic piece is up against the throttles, but it wears down really quickly, so unless TM sells replacement parts which this could only be worth 1 quid on a good day, then i dont fancy buying a new throttle and stick package again just because of a tiny worthless piece of plastic.

 

I would however if it came to it buy another throttle on its own.

they need to start making hornet sticks

[Ells228]

Or Typhoon ones ;)

If ThrustMaster "needs" to do anything, they "need" to start selling the circuit boards contained in the grip, so builders can make good on the old promise of interchangable grips that was made back with the Cougar.

That is good news, but at $355 dollars! You can buy the whole thing for the same cost at some places.

I paid $350 (new) for my set back in September, 2011.

and maybe some pedals perhaps?

The lack of pedals really does annoy me, especially since they make such nice ones for racing.

Maybe a new set of warthog mfcd bezels would be a good idea to replace the F-16 ones

Choice is a good thing, surely a standalone throttle will follow? it may well sell well to those with other brands of stick who long for a split throttle, I know its a popular talking point in my forum. A standalone Cougar throttle would be good, they have all the moulds still surely and could hopefully revamp it and replace the dodgy pots with hall sensors. Pedals have been a long time coming and they never did get around to producing those additional handles that were talked about when the Cougar was released.

+1, get rid of the game port having to hook into the stick!

Thats a bit dear i only paid a few more pounds for my whole set.

Yes but that's the RRP, the HOTAS Warthog had an RRP of £369 but you could find it sold for much less than that at retailers
