sick price... that's like 1/3 cost of a great FSX computer lol

It looks good, they had a preview on SimHQ, but to be honest my current CH flightstick, throttle, pedals, throttle quadrant and saitek radio panel combined cost less than that.

It would be perfect for DCS A10C, which must be quite a simulation for TM to design a special stick for it - even the new Saitek X65F looks like it was designed in a similar vein.

Been waiting for this HOTAS so all that is left to do is Saitek X65f.

at those prices?? I'll take flying lessons..

**BOOM** · July 28th, 2010, 13:39

I was really looking forward to this Hotas but there's no way I can justify that price! I would have to limit my whole FlightSim addon budget for 2011 to just this..........and the way VertigoStudios is creating quality Naval Warbirds that's just not going to happen!!

On the upside this should create a huge market for slightly used CH Cougar equipment!! I'm not ashamed to take any hand-me-downs.

I'm still using my MS Sidewinder Precision II joystick....I had a Thrustmaster setup years ago, HOTAS & Joystick, and loved it. That was in the days when you needed a game port on your soundcard to use it!!

But, the Warthog does look tempting...but a lot of coin.....

**Scratch** · July 28th, 2010, 14:17

I'll be getting it when it comes out. Hopefully it will be the last joystick I will ever have to buy.

Same here - in fact it's still in the UK gathering dust for anyone who wants it. I personally prefer the CH products, they're not claiming to be exact replicas, but I feel they're more precise.

Is it made out of gold ?

**Whitehawk** · July 29th, 2010, 01:52

Seeing as it's little over half what I payed for all my CH gear I'll be picking one up lol! Time for a change :-)

Hey TM, I'll buy your WartHog, IF you give me $200 credit for my Cougar. It is fully functional and no mods of any kind. Otherwise, Saitek here I come.

Could be wrong, but I don't believe so...
