	HOTAS Covers
		It immidiately occured to me, pending the arrival of my new Cougar, that it sure would be nice to never have to dust my stick again.
		Thus the idea was born to design a HOTAS Cover.
		Follow this LINK to the forums at Frugal's World where HOTAS Covers were first introduced.

	Tom's Hard News weekly email newsletter Vol II/No. 16 - Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar: The Luxury Joystick!
		HOTAS enables pilots to use the avionics, radar and weapons systems without having to remove their hands from the control column or the throttle.
		In fact, the HOTAS Cougar might even soon be touted as the "joystick without limits." To be sure, no concessions seem to have been made in terms of more realistic pricing.
		The HOTAS Cougar is not very useful in action-packed simulations such as Crimson Skies, in which the player is constantly required to perform sudden, violent maneuvers.

	HOTAS Cougar - 1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		HOTAS is an acronym for Hands On Throttle And Stick… It allows you to keep your hands on the flight controls for all critical portions of the flight (meaning, as it is a military concept, during fighting) - you don't have to look around in the cockpit finding some obscure button somewhere.
		The HOTAS Cougar is an accurate replica of the stick and throttle found in the F-16 "Fighting Falcon" - the fighter plane currently used by the Dutch.
		Eight analogue axes can currently be assigned to the HOTAS; when DirectX 9 appears, this number will increase to 10; Thrustmaster is working on pedals with toe brake that will use these extra two axes.

	HOTAS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HOTAS, an abbreviation for hands on throttle-and-stick, is a flight control system seen on all modern US and European fighter aircraft, and on some Russian aircraft.
		HOTAS refers to the layout of buttons and switches used to control the multi-function displays inside a modern fighter or interceptor cockpit.
		The HOTAS system has also been adapted for game controllers used for flight simulators and in cars equipped with radio controls on the steering wheel.

		The premise behind it is that a pilot in combat should not need to take their hands from their throttle and stick at any time.
		This software allows you to manage the sensitivity of the HOTAS, provides a scripting ability for keystroke macros, and allows you to do very clever things such as creating virtual controllers who's input values you can control programmatically.
		New versions of the Control Manager software is constantly being released, the manufacturer responds quickly to support requests, replacement components are easily available should you suffer a problem and a helpful community resides over at the CH Hangar who will help you with any questions you may have.

		While not as substantial or trimmed-out a flightstick as that dished out in Thrustmaster's HOTAS Cougar (with its all metal casing construction and heavy-duty spring tension), the Fighterstick is still a good performer made of quality components.

		Each HOTAS Cover is made of durable Polartech® Fleece, which provides maximum protection from dust and shrapnel which can work its way into your unprotected HOTAS.
		The HOTAS Cover acts as a barrier to nicks and scratches while your HOTAS is not in use, thus preserving that new look, while offering a degree of protection an uncovered HOTAS doesn't enjoy.

	COMBATSIM.COM: ThrustMaster HOTAS 2000 (www.combatsim.com)
		While the F22/TQS combination has long been the HOTAS of choice among serious sim pilots, advanced programming can be daunting and the spring resistance of the F22 makes it tiring to use for extended periods of time.
		Everything about the new gear is to be superior to current HOTAS systems—whether it be from design, structural, or microelectronics and programmability/features points of view.
		To make the older TM rudders (RCS, Elite) compatible with the new HOTAS (which is obviously USB), we have chosen to give the customer the ability to plug the 15 pin connection of their older rudder into the base of the HOTAS.

	PC Format - Gameplay - HOTAS Cougar
		It was showing the first prototype of the Cougar: a staggeringly high-quality HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) that looked like it had been ripped straight out of the cockpit of an F-16.
		Before rushing out and purchasing what is unquestionably the finest, most authentic HOTAS currently on the market it is worth bearing in mind that you're probably going to want a set of gameport rudder pedals to set off the ensemble.
		Saitek's latest HOTAS - the futuristic X52 - looks and feels rather toy-like when compared to Thrustmasters' utilitarian heavyweights, but does offer decent performance and a similar set of features for less than half the price.

		Janes F15 will be on the shelves this week, so it seems like a great time to revisit the HOTAS scene from the perspective of a serious F15 pilot.
		If you've followed our previews to date, you know that Janes F15 is one of the most serious combat simulations ever released for the PC, breaking ground in two key areas: command and control interaction with wingmen, and flight modelling.
		Not only that, the Masterpilot is a powerful and unusual entry to the programmable HOTAS arena, and one that should not be overlooked by the serious virtual pilot.

		The ability to operate your radar, select weapons, brakes, countermeasures etc without looking away from the hud, or taking your hands off the controls can be the difference between life or death in a combat situation.
		The F22 and TQS hotas is not exactly user friendly when it comes to programming.
		The combination of the quality of construction, the flexibility allowed by the programability, and the very fact that it is a replica of the real F16 hotas combine to make this the hotas of choice for the hard core simmer.

		They make it hard to impossible to really use our HOTAS Cougars the way we would expect: not necessarily "as advertised", but at least and definitively "as described" in the manual.
		It is neither in our interest as HOTAS Cougar users and Guillemot-customers to feel discontent to downright fed up, nor can it be in Guillemot's interest to feed our growing annoyance and anger.
		A "YES" sure would help us to restore our faith in the HOTAS Cougar as "the benchmark" for flight-controllers and in Guillemot as a sound company caring for their customers' concerns; a "NO" would at least allow us to get used to it and make our peace with our HOTAS Cougars in their current states.

		The X-45 is simply the finest HOTAS system available in this price range, and offers gamers an unprecedented level of control and features.
		The grip is perfectly shaped for long gaming sessions, the throttle has a long range of motion with adjustable tension, and more buttons than most people will ever need.
		While there are some HOTAS systems on the market that offer true rudder pedals, they cost considerably more, and require special drivers to allow games to recognize up to three separate devices.

		The reason for using a HOTAS is not only to replicate real fighter jet setups but so you also don’t have to take your eyes off the screen to look for a keyboard button, especially in the middle of a dogfight.
		Match pedals and a TrackIR device with the HOTAS Cougar and you’ll experience one heck of an exciting virtual air combat challenge regardless of the sim you choose.
		And therein lies at least part of the explanation for its cult appeal: the HOTAS Cougar is not for everybody.
