Falling in love with DCS: A-10C is the ultimate trap to buy this.

+1. It's killing me now.

It's way too much fun to fly A-10C with this HOTAS. You all have to get one!

I love the plug and play feature. No worries of making a profile, it's already there.

Question, how heavy are the springs on the stick? I owned a Cougar, how does it compare?

We don't know anything about the distribution that everyone else doesn't know. (IOW, no clue).

Hard to answer relative to the Cougar given the linear spring pulls on the Cougar, plus the rubber boot changing the force.
Compared to flying formation with a force mod, any spring feels light.
If you tilt the base up perpendicular to the ground, the stick will deflect about half way or so. Not all the way, but it sure as heck won't hold itself at a 90 degree angle to the base.
When either we're allowed to, or the first person who buys one shows a picture of the guts, you'll see what I mean when I say the spring mech is not stressed in such a way that I expect it to change tension much over its life, or snap a spring for a looooooong time.

Helical spring designs are pretty ingenious... I can't believe more sticks haven't used it. But I would imagine it tends to be a little lighter on force, just based on the nature of the spring.

So it would be pretty much a metal X52Pro
(I expect it to be a bit heavier though).

With more buttons and 4-way switches of course.

You can also see my reply
here in the ED forums.
I've said this before elsewhere, but the Warthog is an entirely different
animal.
