BRD N - COUGAR (moving)

Indeed! I also love the floor-mounted option, excellent for helo sims or for the upcoming DCS F-14 Tomcat and F-18 Hornet!!

Are they related to the company who made the KG13?

Yes. Roman Baur (BRD) aka -=NT=-Baur (the inventor of the above) … did the Baur`s KG 13 Grip aswell. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/4324-baurs-kg-13-grip/
As far as i know, he is also somehow linked to (or with) VIRPIL now. https://virpil.com/en/blog/79-virpil-controls-and-brd-partnership

Wow…. just wow… big KUDOS to them for making a left-handed grip.

Very neat…!

Cool, but does any Airforce support a lefty stick?
-
It’s beyond me why ppl complain because stick is on the left or the right
the human is perfectly able to adapt.
even a left handed can fly with the stick on the right.i fly the stick at right and the throttle on the left on my sim, but i fly the stick centred and the throttle on the right when i fly for real.
I’m not going to ask Diamond airplanes to make a specific aircraft with the throttle on the left, and i’m not switching to the right seat because i’m right handedimho, it’s bollocks
that left handed stick should be 3x as expensive as the regular one, because the buyers really ask for being ripped off
imho -
@Red:

To second Red Dog statement, I am left handed and I fly with the right hand => That is absolutely not a problem. Fortunately … imagine if Dassault, Airbus or LM had to create specific cockpit for left/right handed pilots! … and what if on an Airbus the PF is left handed and the OPF is right handed ? … or the opposite … :roll:
-
True, the human can adapt… but why the hate for them for making a LH stick? Why the hate for having this as an option? Just chill, guys.
Now where’s that LH throttle to complete the picture? -
Cool down Ice
I dont read “hate” in these responses, but rather incredulous. We are into realism in the bms pursuit of immersion, yes? So its strikes those who have RL GA experience as plucky or cheeky to tune an a/c to ones handedness.
The cost effective solution is to have Lefties sit in the cockpit backwards.

My apologies for the mistake, but whether it be hate or incredulity (is that the proper word usage?), I still don’t get it. I am fully aware of left-/right-seats in GA aircraft (pilot/co-pilot seats) and I am fully aware that one has to adapt…. but this is a consumer product for use in a hobby, so why the negative reaction? Sure, we can’t tell Boeing or Airbus or other aircraft manufacturers to adjust to left-handed users, but what does that have to do with how a person enjoys his simulation in his own home?
It’s no skin off anyone’s nose anyway… you don’t like it? Don’t buy it. All I’m saying is kudos to them for catering to the LH crowd… even though the picture is incomplete without a right-hand throttle to complete a LH-HOTAS system.

Hahahahahaha…. that is a good one!

I get what you’re saying Ice, and agree on the consumer aspect; but im just saying be cautious about labels such as “hate” in this PC intolerant society we are in these days. We get enough of that thin skin junk out there in RL. Dont need it here in our VL band of brothers world, yes?
Thanks for appreciating my wry humor, most of the time its only genius to me. But you got to admit, it brings a whole new meaning to “Check Six!”

What??? That statement is pure genius!!
“Hate” may have been a strong word… but just didn’t get why there was a negative reaction at all…
-

Now where’s that LH throttle to complete the picture?indeed where did i say i hate them?
I have no reason to and i am a strong defender of the philosophy “if it’s stupid but works for you it isn’t stupid”.
nevertheless a forum is a mean to share opinions good or bad, negative or positive. -
Good and bad opinions and humor is fair game. Thick skin, open mind, and mutual respect is what defines the proper right stuff for a solid forum citizen.

nevertheless a forum is a mean to share opinions good or bad, negative or positive.Like I said, I may have used the wrong term…. but still wondering why you felt it warranted that type of response? As you said yourself, “if it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid”. I’m just wondering why you felt the need to share that opinion.

I totally agree…. however, some people seem to get their knickers in a twist once someone asks them “why” they hold such an opinion. I can never understand that. Opinions (informed ones, anyway) are always formed based on experience, reason, etc… and it is that “background info” that is being requested when asked why… especially when the opinions differ.
-
Well i have a theory on that Ice…
When i was a young man decades ago, whether it be in college or work breaks/lunches; my friends, acquaintances, co-workers, family and even strangers - we could have relatively cool headed logical and opinionated discussions on any topic under the sun. Albeit religion, science, politics, food, culture or sports - we could tolerate our differences and learn from each others life experiences and even if we were diametrically opposed, it was back to work or whatever with no judgements, labels, anger, or shunning.
Since, something bad has crept into our collective conversations that polarizes, demonizes, “hates”, and closes off any respectful conversations with ideas other than our own. I think Internet has replaced alot of hands on or face to face conversations and relationships. This is why business is often done by “pressing the flesh” and the business lunch. In our other facets in life, we have forgotten or not learned these communications skills. What exasperates this, is the cheaping of life and deep relationships.
Thats a long way of saying, people just dont care and share with mutual respect as they once did. Its dog eat dog, rather than selflessness.
AV steps down from soap box. Surely i offended Everyone in the hope of no-one.
-
There is indeed some truth to that, AV8R. That, or the wonders of the internet just brought out more of the “negative” people to light. Or both!
-
This whole concept of “safe zones” and avoiding or worse - rioting destroys healthy discourse keeps people ignorant and polarized. Internet is just a tool, used for good or bad. Yet many cowards fire barbs from the vantage of anonymous-ness at others who pay a real price. This is where “non-PC” discussion can be harmful, and why forums such as this have netizen policies. Common sense aint so common.
