Hello Forum.
No doubt you have seen that Thrustmaster has released a new F16 grip and base.
What do forum members think of them?
Bayonet.

Waste of money in my opinion.

Actually they didn’t bring out a new stick at all. It’s the Warthog stick (A-10 stick is 99,9% same as a, F-16 stick) and rebranded it once DCS released their F-16 alpha/beta module to get even more people to buy their stuff
That being said. owning both the old Cougar and a new Warthog stick. The warthog stick is much better built and feels more like the real one.
For the stickbase, if you want more realism, on both Cougar or Warthog you’ll need a force sensing mod instead of the moving stick anyway. FSSR from Real Simulator for example. -
I just wish they would stop fickin around and bring out a new F-16 throttle.

I cant believe that companies are still brining out sticks WITHOUT force sensing !!! come on X65f has it but I think they stopped making them !!!

Gosh, unanimously negative.
There I was looking around for a replacement for my Saitek X52 Pro……:(

The only reason this is out there is for people that want a Hornet stick instead of a Warthog - you have to build it yourself unless you want the two grips. Why they didn’t just release a full Hornet stick is beyond me…

I bought a TM Warthog stick in late February which is essentially the same thing. I’m very happy with it, especially after modding the springs to make it easier on my wrist.

isn’t this the same old base and stick but sold separately? The upside is that you can now buy the grip for your Warthog or Falcon (still not sure what’s with the Viper), and buy a Virpil base, but I do wish to see a good quality Falcon throttle from anyone.

I wish they’d remake the Cougar with the same quality as the Warthog with how popular Falcon is on top the fact DCS has an F-16 module now. At least the throttle for falcons sake.

I second this comment. Just a money grab by thrust masters with 0 added value. trying to get the super enthusiast to make another purchase. How about they actual make something new like a throttle.

That’s what I was saying, they need to redo the Cougar throttle with today’s quality.

I wish Logitech would stop fickin around and bring out a new force sensing stick, maybe an X66. Like the X65F, but split in two devices (like the X56), with the POV hat/pickle layout from the X56 and maybe with a two stage trigger and a third position for the thumb slider. That would be super awesome, especially if the price stays below 450 bucks.
And maybe an alternate stick base without force sensing, so it’s possible to switch between force-sensing and normal operation.

“force-sensing and normal operation.”
I thought force sensing was normal operation ?
surely the days of the “sloppy joe” stick are long gone in modern RL???

I have the X65F and just use JG and
vJoy to split it up in 2 devices so all the additional hat and buttons on the throttle are DX accessible in BMS as wellGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
