So what do you think about the new Thrustmaster stick?
"Muscle memory isn't there at all"
Anyway, this stick with its "ball" design looks very good and from what I can see in the clips it must feel VERY good.
I'm considering......although I might need to think of how to mount it (maybe a pit) before I buy this beast.
And last but not least, the non contact sensors everywhere should make this stick last forever. But having seen previous sticks from Thrustmaster I will certainly wait for some good user reviews first.

There's an obvious FauX paS by the writer in the first of these two separate articles, but regardless...

Now that's a low blow if I've ever seen one!
"During the evening, we were not only treated to a presentation on the creation of the HOTAS Warthog, but also demonstrations of formation flying by the 'Virtual Thunderbirds' - an online flight sim team which replicates actual Thunderbirds' stunt shows in DCS' Lock On - Flaming Cliffs 2. According to several members of the virtual flight team, they primarily use the HOTAS Cougar flight system, although some had apparently already been testing out the HOTAS Warthog for Thrustmaster (lucky ducks!)."
