[1] By early 1991 the company began advertising the Thrustmaster Weapons Control System in computer magazines.
[2] In July 1999, the gaming peripherals operations and brand name was acquired from Thrustmaster for $15 million by the Guillemot Corporation Group of France (which also bought Hercules Computer Technology that same year and merged the two companies in a company called Hercules Thrustmaster, with headquarters in Carentoir, France, while keeping the 2 brands separate).
[3] Formerly one of their most expensive joysticks is the HOTAS Cougar, a close but not exact reproduction of both the throttle and stick that is used in the real F-16 block 52 fighter aircraft.
[4] The product features all-metal construction and numerous programming possibilities but is hampered by low-quality potentiometers, leading to a thriving replacement industry.
Some of the devices have had reported quality problems, including play in the centering springs and the tendency of the speedbrake switch to break due to a manufacturing defect (this has been fixed on later serial numbers).
In July of that same year the Cockpit is named "Product of the Month" and crowned "#1 Racing Wheel" for July/August by Spanish magazine Playmania.
2013 saw the release of the TX Racing Wheel 458 Italia Edition with Brushless motors and magnetic sensors.
2022 saw the release of the T128 racing wheel with a 900-degree angle of rotation and magnetic sensors; an entry-level 2-pedal T2PM pedal unit was included.
The T2PM unit is not adjustable, has a small size, but it also has two holes for hex bolts making the mounting possible.
