Ad? WHat ad? What are you talking about??? A10 HOTAS?? Never heard of it!!

I'm surprised you're here yourself.

Usually, when some people have seen too much they shouldn't have seen ...

Huh? Who could be knocking at my door at this time of the day???

2-3 more years and then perhaps we will have something to replace it...or it could be that we influenced the development here by stating that we didn't want some screwed up inner pieces like the Cougar has in them to start with...well that is just me being wishful...oh well it never hurts to dream up things for these threads.

Well knowing what I do about site maintaining, someone got a request for new flash banner, and out goes the old one. I don't think this is anything more serious than a simple "insert new banner here" request.

Well, a new banner is up!!

Lots more fuel for speculation now!!

Well, if it weighs 13 pounds - shouldn't one expect that the internals/parts are solid and built to last?

Let's hope so.

I also hope the spring tension isn't so crazy that it hurts my arm like the cougar - or at least adjustable.

Also, the stick base looks modular - any chance they plan on shaft extensions?

Where is Ghost now?
Quick Ghost, post a pic of a stick that only the United States Military can buy!

Thought you guys might want to see this that was on the board at HTC for the CH A-10 USAF only HOTAS.

Judging from that short glimpse, it definitely preserves that military look that only Thrustmaster tends to have (and only Suncom ever approached), not to mention that there are some switches on the throttle's base.

There are still many unanswered questions, though...what are the internals like, for instance? (In particular, will the stick be force-feedback?)

All in all, though, this could be my next HOTAS. I like my Cougar and all, but the peeling paint on the stick is really getting to me now, not to mention that split-throttles can be handy and force-sensing sticks aren't always suitable (*cough*IL-2*cough*).

I hope not... the A-10 isn't force feedback or force sensor. I suspect the stick will be similiar to the Cougar but only time will tell.
