As something of a gear collector, maybe you can give me some advice I have an MSFF2 (well, 2), and I'd like a throttle for SoW. Any suggestions on which to get?

Thanks

The Cougar throttle is the most comfortable and user friendly. It has a rotary in the perfect position for adjusting trim, and enough other buttons and rotaries that you would never have to use the keyboard atleast in prop sims. Unfortunately the throttle plugs into the Cougar joystick. I used to just keep the joystick on the floor, but I've since pulled the circuit board out of the joystick. You may find quite a few Cougars on ebay now that the Warthog has hit the market.

I'm interested in picking up a Warthog. The joystick looks to be very smooth and precise, and it has a dual throttle. Although the throttle doesn't have a rotary.

I currently use a MSFF2 with a Cougar Throttle, and Saitek Pro rudder pedals. I've had no problems with the Saitek rudder pedals other than their goofy Saitek toe brake programming.

And if people don't like how smooth the throttle feels, they can mod it. IJ has created some nice aluminium bushings, which replace the plastic ones and makes the throttles action smooth. Add Cubpilot's Hall-Effect sensor kit and you have a good throttle that'll last a lifetime.
