When I updated the firmware of my Cougar I needed to disconnect the throttle from the stick because otherwise there were reports of pot damage.
Do I need to disconnect the Warthog throttle from the stick to have a save firmware update ? The Warthog throttle doesn't connect to the stick; the throttle and the stick connect to the PC via seperate and independent USB connections. sorry my mistake i was thinking about the Cougar firmware install My question should have been : do i need to unplug the Warthog throttle from the usb slot if i want to update the Warthog stick and vice versa

Nope, completely separate devices.

Holy Smokes batman....that price on Amazon UK of 199 GBP ($312.92 USD) is AMAZING!
Wish someone in the US would give up a few profit points on that item for a price drop like that for Christmas...it would make a bunch of fellow flight simmers really happy.

Could someone tell me what the diameter is for the TM WH stick (without the base plate)?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance About 4.3" / 11cm And....holy crap that's an awesome price. Even if it were refurbs...then...well...at least you know you're less likely to have problems with it.

Warthogs selling THAT cheap already? Why is it that for flight sim-related gear, Europe and the UK in particular always get the best deals? (Remember that many of the major Cougar mods were priced in Euros. That did not fare well for those of us on this side of the Atlantic wallet-wise, though it would've been much worse if priced in British pounds.)

No prob. I happen to have a nice little vernier caliper right next to the computer desk as I often use it for radio control stuff. Easy measurement.

On average, we pay in Pounds what you pay in Dollar... the Warthog was originally going to retail at �399.. while it was $399 over there ! It's called rip of Britain for a reason ! Generally as the value of the dollar is crap at the moment, then things produced over here will be priced more expensive over there ! We have been on the wrong end of pricing for many many years !

Generally as the value of the dollar is crap at the moment, then things produced over here will be priced more expensive over there ! We have been on the wrong end of pricing for many many years ! Ah, the old sign swap crap ignoring the exchange rate. But given that a lot of the Cougar mods and other flight sim gear I'm thinking of (Simpeds and whole F-16 cockpit replicas, for instance) were in Euros and your currency is ridiculously strong exchange-rate-wise...yeah. Shipping probably wouldn't be as bad, either, since the rest of Europe is pretty close by. It probably also helps if you have...connections in the States who can buy locally (from their perspective) and ship it over, if the price of shipping doesn't kill the savings outright. I mean, when an already expensive something costing EUR320 works out to US$465, not even including the shipping...ridiculous. (And this is just for the FCC-2, I might add. Cougar not included! Once you throw that in, you might as well start looking at the Warthog unless you really want a force-sensing stick.)

Glad those who got the Warthog cheap had their transactions honoured !
The FCC mod for the cougar is freaking expensive over here too ! hence I bought a warthog instead of upgrading my cougar ! cheaper that way !
From where round these parts of South Wales are you from Magic ?

Yep, the FSSBR2 mod for my Cougar was �250 alone and that was a good many years back now.

A few miles south of you, just outside of Pontypridd. Very white here today - had to come home from work...!
