Thrustmaster just told me that the Cougar is comming back
-
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 itās time to be a nice husband and beg my wife for other joystick. -
Letās 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 sensorsā¦ -
Thrustmaster
Hi, we are currently out of stock, but donāt worry, it will come back!
6 Ā·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 āWarthogā stick and a new F-16 throttle. If itās released this year, it should be available in 3 - 4 weeks. Wonder why it took them so long to figure that one outā¦.?

Wonder why it took them so long to figure that one outā¦.?
probably the ratio of ātotal investment costā versus āmarketability, sales viability, sustainability and riskā into āexpected turnoverā
in any caseā¦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 hatā¦

i guess BMS has given a new potential life to the Cougar
-
Iām 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. Iām sure they put 2 and 2 together and realised there was still a sizeable market out there.
Letās hope this is going to happen and that they donāt take the easy option of a few more production runs and actually bring out something which improves on the original.

ā¦Better and cheaper, those two usually donāt go together but, we can hope.

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

Iād say + idle detent.
-
Predictionā¦. It will be the same internals as the Warthog with different throttle and stick grips.
-
BTW, RealSimulator will have a good surprise for us sooner or laterā¦
DONāT ASK ME THOUGHT.
But, I do believe, as Mav stated, that this BMS-thing is driving the development of a whole new wider area of side-equipment, causing side-effects, mainly to our pockets and wifes.

Better days are coming then. Will be here to embrace what ever these might beā¦
