HOTAS Cougar

[MKelly]

Hello Everyone, although I've been using flight sim for a few years, this is my first post.

I wanted to comment on the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar control set. My favourite thing about it is the fact that you can program it to make the stick more or less responsive, according to the position of the 3-way "Dogfight" switch. Although the unit cost £250 ($400 I think), I think it was well worth the expense, even my girlfriend's happy about it!

Anyone else out there using the Cougar, with an opinion?

p.s. If you have the Manchester, England scenery, I actually work in the huge blue FLS Aerospace Hangar on the south side

To date I am an EXTREMELY satisfied user of the Cougar's predecessor, the F16 FLCS, F16 TQS (Throttle) and the rudder pedals. And that for now some 7 (!) years.
I am also having an eye or two on the Cougar, but shall wait till it is completed with the USB pedals.
I don't need no Force Feedback, some solid Thrustmaster springs suffice for my enjoyment. And the Cougar is definitely my next set of FS input devices.
