I am wondering who made the purchase of this product after spending almost $500.00 on their Warthog system to add another $500.00. Unless you have a lot of "throw" away income, how much better is this mod and is it really needed?
This isn't meant as an insult to the manufacture, just my curiosity.

Any of the TM mods that I've seen have been crazy expensive. No one can seem to modify the Cougar/Warthog without doubling the original purchase price.

Guess if you want one another option would be to get the X65 which does the same thing and gives you the whole set-up.

Late input, but as the happy owner of an FSSB mod, I can say this: Don't get it for the Warthog. If you get it for BMS, or any other F-16 sim, go ahead, it's worth it. But not only is it unrealistic for the A-10, it's also massively awkward. The A-10 lacks a flight control system like the F-16. Just leveling out and letting go of the stick won't cause the plane to fly straight. Take a look at the control UI next time you fly the A-10, and you'll see that there's a lot of small control inputs you have to make for level flight, whereas in BMS it's you can literally speaking let go of the stick.
Having a force sensing stick as opposed to one that actually moves is a massive pain with the A-10, or any other plane in DCS really, you just wind up with a very awkwardly flying and responding plane. That said, for BMS it's absolutely fantastic. If an F-16 module is ever released for DCS, then I'd assume it will be the same for that.
