LOL

So does that mean 32 weeks?

Amazon.co.uk still say "Dispatch estimate: 27 Oct 2010 - 28 Oct 2010" for my order.

Sorry Corsair it much easier to get a wave started at a baseball game I had to improvise!

I am dreading the Amazon, "your order has been delayed" email.

TM should have made some announcement by now apart from the, "HOTAS Warthog attack group in final approach phase", which has been on their site for months.

I have retirement plans for my venerable Cougar. "Introduce a friend to HOTAS"

Coolts, I congratulate you on your soon to be held title of "Enabler". *huge grin*

g.

They'd better do something about it soon, because word is that the Cougar has been discontinued after a whole decade. Not having a new HOTAS out in the meantime could mean lost sales to CH, Saitek, and Logitech.

I did enable a guy with a Cougar recently...he bought it off me and bought my modded RCS pedals. Apparently he has now decided to mod the gimbals as well after I pointed him at lots of Cougar resources.

I agree with Nameless... I just had a friend who got tired of waiting and bought a Logitech G940. I look forward to helping him get it dialed in when it shows up. If TM would at least give us some offical word on a release date it would make it easier to wait. I find that I don't feel confident enough in the online places where I've found the hog so far to pre-order it. So I sit and squirm trying to decide on what to do... all the while looking at my Cougar wondering if I should just say skip it and mod it. I hate indecision, especially in me!

There are 30 days in September and we are already working on day 4, be patient. It will be worth every penny.

Nice find, thanks. That video helped give me an idea as to the size of the throttle.

cool!

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting that I was glad to see that the detent is easily removed for those of us who don't really care about the jet throttle afterburner realism.

Thanks for the link!

I have to say that the google translation was quite impressive in its accuracy, though this made me laugh:

"The stick is "Full Metal" which makes a superb subject breathing heavy and solid quality."

It might make this subject breath heavy (gawd, how I'd love to have that throttle), but the stick itself "exudes" quality...

Panther or anybody the can get his hands on the Warthog, can you please post the main dimensiones of the throttle and stick?. The stick with and without the base.

Im talking about height, width, and so on.

Thanks a lot!

For starters, I'll get the rest later.

To be exact
HOTAS Throttle:
8" Tall with throttles in the middle and with base

Throttle base
10.75" L (9.5625" if the base plate is removed.)
6" W
2.0625" H (only the base, excluding the switches and throttles.)

HOTAS Joystick:
11.125 Tall with base

Stick base
10.6875" L
9.0625" W
Now this is a BETA unit, it could change (but unlikely) for the production unit.

Same discussion HERE.

Every time I see a video like that, I want it more and more...they've clearly put a lot of thought into the whole thing.

Heck, even just having the stick handle would be nice, especially if it doesn't suffer from the shaft play that my Cougar stick does. (It's probably not as noticeable on a conventional stick base, but with the FCC...)

I wanted to see more of T.A.R.G.E.T., though. Software can make or break an otherwise perfectly good piece of hardware.

Thanks Panther, but i would need the height including the stick and the throttle in middle position.
