No its totally differerent to a Cougar anyway as Cougar is based off an F-16 Block 52 Hotas where as this Hotas is more like an F22 Hotas and it ships with Hall sensors which Cougars do not ship with.

Yeah but I can see a few interesting details in that translation which is quite interesting the stick is setup like a Cougar modded with realsimulator hall sensors so the stick would have 1/4 inch movement if thats correct and work primarily off pressure like a real F-16 stick.
