i can’t fly the FCC with a WWII sim.
that must be a biatch lol. i can imagine. i dont like non-moving sticks, because a simulation is already “stale” and non moving (only 2D screen) … i like, if at least my feets, head and hands move spacialy
what is “GA”?

A question! Then what do you recommend to replace HOTAS Cougar?
A modded hotas cougar
imho, for a F-16 sim, there is nothing better than a cougar with FCC and eventually the warthog stick grip on it
you guessed right, that’s what i have and i will never change it … for F-16 flyingwhat is “GA”?
General Aviation

Is there anything specific you dont like on the FCC? Or could be little better?

The gimbals and mounting solution on this one looks interesting….

i’m afraid nope, it’s just perfect for me
it’s configurable re forces
it’s mountable in a stick base (cockpit) or regular cougar base
it’s reliable
it keeps cougar programming capabilities (i’m no big fan of full DX stuff)
it’s been in my pit for ages without any issues serving my pit time very wellI wouldn’t change it - it’s one of the best investment i made for my simming hobby

+1 to what RD has to say. And add that I prefer the Warthog stick grip to the Cougar one…by head and shoulders.

These hardcore tests probably because VIRPIL made it into space: https://virpil.com/en/blog/82-the-first-in-space

This dude compares the VKB Gunfighter vs the VIRPIL Mongoose and says… “way better than Thrustmaster Warthog” …

Totally agree with RedDog w/r/t to not cheaping out on the control stick (and throttle and rudders) I maintain two controllers and use a mux to switch between them:
Warthog stock, for DCS (Su33 and WW2 a/c)
Cougar stick force mod, TQS HS mod and TUSBA-R2 for BMS (F16 FBW, and also when I fly the Hornet occasionally)
SLAW F16 rudders (sold my RS rudders to a 1:1 cockpit gent in Europe which funded these rudders and my desktop ICP)I cant fly WW2 a/c with a static FBW stick, I have to use a positional stick.
And I prefer heavy metal control sticks over plastic ones, even though I did buy Baur’s KG13 because its the only current Luftwaffe one out there AFAIK. There used be a team called ACES that made a metal KG13 for sale, but it was about 1000 bucks and they closed shop eventually.
