^^ Great.

Checkout the new Saitek combat pedals too. Look better than my simpeds!

wow.. any idea when these pedals will be released? man, i just started to go after thrustmaster RCS's also...

I thought just the opposite, the width doesn't look right but maybe it's the picture. I've always hated pedals that were too close together and the Simpeds are set just right.

Those pedals look slick, but they do seem quite close together...also, it looks like they'd slide more like the CH Pro Pedals than rotate with a slight arc like the TM RCS/Elite and Simpeds.

I wonder if the toebrakes are strain gage/load cell-based like the Simped F-16 pedals or car brake pedals.

Shoulder width is about right assuming that is the case with these pedals. No reason to be "spread eagle" like the Simpeds.

It looks like the pedals will retail for less than $200 when it is all said and done with. It will be interesting to see how the quality is since x amount of people had problems with their pro flight pedals getting stuck at times if they "overextended" the axis.

I had some fun adding notes to the "customer images" (Link below the "no image available"). I hope SimHQ doesn't mind? There's a vote to the right for "like/dislike".

New flash on the www.thrustmaster.com site. You have to(can) pull the throttle up to go over detents.

Yes we heard about that from the E3 event that they did back in June. Thanks for the site update though.

The A10 has AB?

Just saw the price for the A-10 HOTAS...........over $500 bucks!!! Guess I won't be getting this anytime in the next 10 years. Hope I can get my cougar working.

IIRC, the review indicated that the controller had optional AB detents that were easily removable (allowing double duty for AB aircraft simulation). There are also idle detents.

As I said a while back I hope that isn't the price for over here in the USA.

No way, you won't have to pay 339$US. It'll be 499$US.


Sorry, "Schadenfreude".

I don't expect a serious replica controller to be cheap but hopefully it'll be cheaper (probable) than some of the replica 737 yokes made that only feature a few buttons. From what I've heard so far the controller is well worth the asking price.

As for AB detents I think they come with the unit but not installed. I seem to remember that from the Preview article a few weeks back. Repeat you wont have to remove the detents, rather install them if you wanted to fly an F15.

Amazon is under the assumption that the Warthog is 598g, whereas 14lbs is closer to 6300g. Try to correct their errors and you get a mail that they don't accept SimHQ's URL of the Expo preview as proof. Too bad TM is a bit slow in releasing details on their site.

Really? All I see is some toy story 2 thing...

NVM....got it

The $ has not been released yet. As of E3 the dollar amount wasn't going to be the equilvant to the � amount listed.

Guess I'll wait til the official price from them.
