CH Products Announces Military Grade Controllers


By Ruggbutt, October 30, 2009
NEW MILITARY-GRADE CONTROLLERS SHOWCASED AT I/ITSEC 2009 CH Products presents new Military Desktop Training Solutions   VISTA, California (October 28, 2009) – CH Products, LLC (www.chproducts.com) today announces new High Fidelity Controllers for Military Desktop Simulation applications. Products in development for winter 2009 include the A-10C HOTAS and Reaper GCS Console.   The A-10C HOTAS offers a one-for one split throttle and stick. The Reaper GCS Console is an all inclusive, affordable desktop training simulator and is designed to meet the training needs of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security.   Both high fidelity solutions feature industrial grade components, driverless USB connectivity, and award-winning reliability. CH Products can meet or exceed your expectations in Cost, Schedule and Performance.   CH Products is proud to demonstrate, along with The Fighter Collection’s A-10C version of "The Battle Simulator", at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (http://www.iitsec.org/) in Orlando, Florida from Nov 30 – Dec 03, 2009. BOOTH 2819.   Edited 11/02/09   Quoting Revvin from the CH-Hangar:   I've spoken to Debby today as there has been a large amount of interest in the announcement I posted recently. I can confirm that an A-10C HOTAS is on their roadmap for a consumer release but there is no date set as yet. With a project as big as this - a completely new one-for-one, military-style HOTAS and a ground control station for the Reaper system - the design, the development time and tooling costs are very high and this is why it is not being introduced as a consumer product first. Remember CH Products still does all this in-house in the US and does not outsource to sub-contractors half way around the world. There are no plans as yet for a consumer version of the Reaper system as apart from support by Abacus there is no real demand from software for it.   I'll try and bring you more details as and when I can but suffice to say any new HOTAS from CH Products will not only have the same unrivalled build quality and support it will have also have support from the industry leading Control Manager software.

Cue silly grin from KM :)   I get a call from the reception saying “there’s two guys here who wants to give you cake”. Turns out they are from the PC community and were so happy about our dedicated server tweet this week they wanted to give something back to us, the developers. Awesome, thanks a lot guys!

LINK   Quote by Oleg at 1C: Hello everyone, I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting news. I hope this will be worth the wait. We are now at the stage where we'll be providing more regular updates. Remember when my Friday Updates happened every Friday? These shots today showcase the environemnt from a small test map that will be one of the online maps shipping with the game.     We're working hard on finding the perfect visual balance, and many of the colors you see today are not final: sky, clouds, grass, trees, water, etc, are all being finetuned. As some of you may know, I'm a professional photographer as well, so perfect visual presentation is a very important goal for me.       Just wondering here which will be the specs
