Gee, if anyone cared, we could take bets on how long this "Internet"
company will survive.

So what do ya'all think? Did the value of the FLCS, F22, TQS
and original RCS just skyrocket? Kind of like art after the
artist dies :-)

except that art is usually nice and some of the thrustmaster products
sucked...

Could mean trouble for the product line. I always had a lot of
problems with Thrustmaster wheels - but was saved time a and time
again by their superb customer service. There's not many companies
that have that kind of service; at this point I would not buy a
Thrustmaster product.

The bottom just fell out, if you ask me. I read posts all the
time about how people needed spare parts, which TM fortunately
was cooperative about. Now you get to look for pots at swap
meets.

Just glad that I have 1 FCS, 2 PFCS, 1 Top Gun, 1 WCS 2, and RCS. Just
unlucky enough to not have been able to locate a second WCS 2. Guess I will
have to spring for a TQS now, and hope it will work with the sticks. I have
always used TM because I felt they were the best, but will buy from
whichever company picks up the slack (tech spt., programmability, stiffness,
etc.) and comes up with a good HOTAS. So far, IMHO, no one has.

Tried suncom (www.suncominc.com) ?
Personally, I like their Talon and SFS Throttle a lot.

No the TQS won't work... you MUST have a F-16 FLCS or F-22 Pro from
Thrustmaster... I'd try getting a used FLCS, I saw a few on Ebay for less
than $50. Together with the TQS and RCS a very good combination.

Plenty of alternatives... check out my site (URL below) for more info on

Man, been trying to get an original RCS for months, no luck so far...
postage from the US to the Netherlands is *HIGH* and the RCS is pretty
heavy as well :-( So if any of you Europeans would like to get rid of your
original Thrustmaster RCS drop me a note and we'll talk ;-)
