Thrustmaster HOTAS F-18

[Buckeye]

I have interest in this but don’t know if I would get it without a Hornet throttle as well. The very least that Thrustmaster could do is take all the labels and branding off the current throttle to make it more universal.

 

 

 

There are plenty of other customers who are perfectly happy to add the grip to their existing HOTAS without needing a fully new offering.

 

Also, there are Hornet throttle available on the market if your heart desires.

I will buy this for the added realism. I just really don’t understand why the prototype has been at two E3 conventions and still isn’t available. It is a grip going for an existing base. Are we that small of a customer base compared to those buying expensive steering wheels, shifters and pedals for racing sims?

 

The first working prototype was used at the 2018 E3. What was shown at the 2017 E3 was a shell prototype, no working internals.

Just a few screws and a little prying action, you can remove those overlay label panels.

Thanks for the tip Panther! I did not know that was possible but looking more closely at the throttle, I can see exactly what you mean.

I'm torn... All I really fly is the F-18, but it looks like that has at least 2 fewer buttons than the warthog stick... possibly 3 if the "thumb weapon select" hat is not 4+1 and only a 4.

 

 

 

thrustmaster added few more buttons that are not on tue real Hornet stick just to have the same number of buttons that are on the warthog stick...i think for mantaining the compatibility with the base

so no plans on a hornet throttle huh?

It would still have been compatible - the Cougar grip is compatible, and it doesn't have push on the CMS.
