Hiya again. The Hall sensor upgrade, as well as numerous DIY and other projects for the Thrustmaster Cougar can be found at the following community site: http://cougar.frugalsworld.com/

Look for the “Hardware Mods” link.

I have to say the combined head tracker and HMD while expensive is attractive but as you say expensive. Bit hard to invest all that and find you get motion sickness. 800×600 doesn’t seem that great for reading HUDs and the only HMD I’ve used was a headache inducing 640×400. Try before you buy would be my advice. I wouldn’t mind giving that Z800 3DVisor a go myself.

Don’t expect add-on packs for the “open falcons” to work with Allied Force, but this is perhaps not the right place to ask, try the Open Falcon forums.

Good luck pilot

Hi Flexman,

Again, thanks so much for the helpful guidance. I never realised ther would be such a huge fan following over a joystick and flight controls 😮
But having read up over the Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS, I can see why. It’s clearly one of the best ones to get, if not THE best flight controls.

The Hall sensor upgrade does look quite awsome, but not sure it justifies the price tag and if it really does add any further value.

I think the I would have to give up on the idea of a combined HMD/Headtracking unit, the unit costs really are abit on the high side, well for me at least anyway. Maybe if they become more popular.

Thanks for the guidance
