Joe, (my given name also) thanks for responding! My comments were written fairly quickly with a little frustration. That frustration was with myself for not realizing the center detent existed in the video, which I should have clearly picked up on. I apologize for sounding a bit harsh toward the SIMHQ reviews and admit it was my translation of them that was the main source of error. On the other hand - if I can "read incorrectly" so can others.

I wrote this post with only one thing in mind - to inform the few people who have high end mod-Cougars, to think about the items I described before rushing out and investing in a Warthog. I sought to amplify previews and reviews - aiming more at these individual propeller and gun applications like Il2, SOW, ROF - etc...

In fact, I realized these features more than a week ago - but at the time thought I'd wait until I had give the Warthog a more thorough trail. As I said in my post - my comments should be construed as preliminary only. I don't think I would have been so quick to grab my Warthog, if I would have re-read all the previews and reviews more thoroughly with a more critical mind.

With that said, I know that I won't have the complete picture for myself until I've flown with the stick for many hours. As you said, it's a matter of personal preference. I can find the center of my U2Nxt Cougar easily, though maybe I have too many hours with it.

Since you are seeing this thread - could you answer a question?

Do you fly propeller sims or jet sims mainly? Or would you say you fly them all equally?

BTW, as I said - I'm keeping my Warthog. There are many great features it has - and I suspect I can change what I don't like. The single spring provides great possibilities and I can figure out a way to remove the detent if I need to.

S!

Gunny
