Hello,

I want to buy a new joystick, can you recommend the Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar for Lock On and Flight Simulator 2004?

I'd recommend a HOTAS Cougar...

Not just because we're partners with Thrustmaster, but seriously "it's far beyond reality"!

Hi Marc,

Nice name by the way

I too would recommend the Cougar. I dabled with 3 different joysticks prior to getting a cougar and find the cougar has allowed me to fly even better then the others did. I am progressively getting used to it with every sortie. Now, I have not used it in MS 2004 but have heard from others that do and they like it too. Good luck in your choice.

regards and many happy landings

Aside from www.amazon.com I would recommend checking www.compusa.com (Cougar @ CompUSA page). From time to time they run mail-in rebate deals up to $50, which brings the price down below $200. The CompUSA price is typically the most competitive regardless since you can pick up the Kitty in store and not have to pay any shipping charges for this 800-pound gorilla!

ok I've found a cheap one on amazon.de there it costs only 187 € but there is written that the cougar is made for Windowas 98, ME or 2000. Does it work on XP too?
