I've had an FCC modded cougar, along with a cubpilot modded throttle for years now. Hasn't given me any trouble except the occaisonal rod needing tightening on the throttle mod and of course the usual play in the cougar handle.

I've been looking at the Warthog and wondering what the opinion was? Warthog an upgrade over cougar? Sell me Cougar and get a Hog, or leave well enough alone?

HOG = WIN Its a complete upgrade from Cougar. I own both. Cougar is now a backup in case something ever goes wrong.


I want you to see this coming

What do you prefer?
Fixed, forcesensitive stick or moving stick?
Single or dual throttle?

Just keep in mind that the Warthog isn't force-sensing. You may or may not prefer this.

As to whether or not it's an improvement? Sadly, I can't say right now. I had a thoroughly-modded Cougar like yours, FCC-1 and all, but had to sell it since funds got low. I could compare once I get my hands on a Warthog, but finding one without plunking down the big bucks first is the problem...

I like my Warthog so much I bought a second one so I can have my two computers running DCS A-10C.


I had a stock Cougar and there is no comparison to that. For flying the DCS A-10C the Warthog cannot be beat.

Actually I haven't been flying much with the Cougar lately. Have used it a lot in WWIIonline, but mostly for tanking! Gotta say my wrist and arm is sore after a few hours of driving tanks with it.

I like the idea of the smaller base of the Warthog (removing the plate) so I can mount it in the Obutto easier.

Now that I finally broke down and bought A10 I have an interest in playing it and trying out the BMS 4.xx Falcon. Sadly my old Saitek rudders got stuck full left and won't move anymore so I'll need new pedals. Tight fit for anything in the Obutto pit. Might just grab a set of Saitek Combat ones for now (at least until the $$ to Euro looks good enough to grab Simpeds)
