Ehh, that was my first HOTAS, still think the Cougar is an upgrade

Nearest to new I could find. Seller says āonly used 3 timesā.

A lot of money for a used Cougar.

Yeah, the average price is about a hundred bucks lower. Varies - seen them go for double figures once o.0

Lookin for a sanity check here. Iām a new member on my 2nd attempt (1st attempt overwhelmed me) to gather all the components needed to get onboard with BMS. Computerās on order ā¦ flightstick, throttle, and rudders are my concern now.
I ordered the āThrustmaster Hotas Cougar PC Flight Stick Joystick and Never Used Throttleā via the ebay link provided by Icarus in his Jan 17th, 14:08 reply (above) to this thread. My idea next is to order the FSSB R2 mod from Realsimulator. Hopefully itās not to hard for me to do the actual mod myself. My thinking is that this will be the closest setup (Cougar stick & throttle) to the real thing. And check me on that ā¦
Secondly, what Iām having trouble wading thru is well ā¦ FSSB R2 vs FSSB R3, and Cougar stick vs Warthog stick. Iāve got this nagging sense that somehow Iām missing out by not getting the FSSB R3 set-up. If I did, would I be able to use the Cougar stick (just the stick) with it? And the Cougar throttle?
The Realsimulator FSSB R3 page says (and Iām not really sure whatāall it means) that ā¦
āUnlike (FFSB) R1 and (FSSB) R2 models, the new (FSSB) R3 has an propietary RealSimulator electronic system, both analog and digital processing, and can be used in two ways, both as an upgrade and as independently. Therefore behave as two separate joysticks, which can operate independently or together.āFinally, without startin a war here, lol ā¦ Iām gettin the sense the Warthog stick is better than the Cougar stick? Why?

Hi, to summarize. I own 2 cougar (no, I donāt sell oneā¦) a warthog and an FCC3. Iāve tried FSSSB R2.
FSSB R2=FCC3, I cannot talk about R3. But his adventages are obvious.
So: FSSB R3>FSSB R2/FCC3>Warthog>Cougar
Just talking about how it works and how similar is to the real thing (yes, a close friend of mine flew one F16).
Have fun! -

This looks better.
I just bought this one last week (my other one wore out, just wanted one)ā¦got lucky, it is in pristine condition. Throttle was still in the plastic and has not been used. The stick looks like it has only a couple hours on it. I took it apart, and it has virtually no wear yet. That guy let it go for 250.00. Crazyā¦I also have a Warthog, I just like using the TQS for the F-16.
