Thrustmaster just told me that the Cougar is comming back
-
wow this is great news…
-
Fingers crossed.
-
I just asked them to ensure it’s the HOTAS, not just the MFDs. Yes…fingers crossed. I just bought the X-55, but I can always use two pits for H2H man-cave nights.
-
Hey Santa, skip the bourbon, I need this.
-
Ohw man, i hope so!
-
Yeah!!!
-
Very good news!
I bet they had a glance on 4.33 -
Very good news!
I bet they had a glance on 4.33Thanks for the great news. I was about dumping my Cougar.
But it’s time to be a nice husband and beg my wife for other joystick. -
Let’s hope they will fix the errors of the past and provide a cheaper and better product.
Also I hope that spare parts from the new could be used to old ones and thus maybe an upgrade kit would be just awsome like hal sensors, force sensors… -

Hi, we are currently out of stock, but don’t worry, it will come back!
6 ·Out of stock? Old Cougar will come back? No!

The logic thing is of course to release a revised Cougar standalone throttle, or a combo "Cougar II"package with the “Warthog” stick and a new F-16 throttle. If it’s released this year, it should be available in 3 - 4 weeks. Wonder why it took them so long to figure that one out….?

probably the ratio of “total investment cost” versus “marketability, sales viability, sustainability and risk” into “expected turnover”
in any case…Cougar = sure buy!

Only great news if they design and manufacture it PROPERLY this time around. My floppy 2001 Cougar sits in box, replaced by the far more reliable x65f.

My problem with the X65F was the reliability it had for being able to pickle while pressing the POV hat…

i guess BMS has given a new potential life to the Cougar
-
I’m pretty sure BMS has given new life to many Cougars, mine included :mrgreen:
I would guess that Thrustmaster have also been getting a lot more requests for spares as a result. I’m sure they put 2 and 2 together and realised there was still a sizeable market out there.
Let’s hope this is going to happen and that they don’t take the easy option of a few more production runs and actually bring out something which improves on the original.

…Better and cheaper, those two usually don’t go together but, we can hope.

New cougar with base plate similar to the Warthog Throttle would be awesome… So we could have maybe JFS switch and manual pitch override
-
If it Comes back… will it come with normal Prices or will it come with the high ebay-Prices? If used Cougars are going out for 400 $ and more… what will be the cost of a new one?
