What the heck is going on at Thrustmaster?
-
I have been praying to the TM gods for years that they will sell an updated viper TQS, and now I look online and see that instead they released a throttle and SSC for Airbus?!
I thought that viper SSC “mod” for the warthog stick was a sign of more good things to come, but now my patience is running thin. Can anyone recommend a throttle (besides the cougar,) that matches closely with the viper TQS?

At the moment there are no other options than a cougar-grip.
Well, if you want to put a lot of money, time and luck into it, you maybe would be able to source a real one.
There is one company, which produces milspec replicas for simulatoruse, but these are even more pricey than used real ones. -
Or you can try to make one.

Of course, if you want it in metal, it could get costly. However, the nice thing about 3d-printed stuff is that you’ve got full control of the build quality. -

If you are in US, there is a great rare throttle grip up on an action on ViperPits, that has the hobos switch too, so that would be an excellent start for a custom part.

Thanks. I have been trying to get access to that site for over a year. Still waiting for an admin to review my application…
Or maybe I was disapproved?

Try hereThanks. I’m drooling over pictures of their hardware. It looks like it’s probably out of my price range but you never know until you ask I guess.
I was able to get a couple used TQS “classic” plastic throttles on eBay. Almost finished with converting the first one to USB with arduino/mmjoy. It took a long time, but a fun project and learned a lot.
