Macintosh® Weapons Control System

The fighter's axiom of "lose sight, lose the fight" holds true for computer pilots as well as the real fighter jocks. ThrustMaster has taken this to heart and created the MWCS (Macintosh Weapons Control System ). With the MWCS you keep your eyes focused on the action instead of looking for keys on the keyboard.

The MWCS design is taken from the F-15 throttle handle and therefore is designed to be used by the left hand, while the right hand operates the stick. The MWCS has six buttons and a three-way rocker switch placed in strategic locations on the handle. Moving the handle fore and aft provides thrust control. Idle and Afterburner detents (or clicks) are detectable as the throttle handle is moved, providing tactile feedback for enhanced control and awareness.

The MWCS is completely user configurable when used with the MFCS (Macintosh Flight Control System). Buttons and throttle can be programmed to generate keyboard characters or can be used without programming in directly supported software games and simulations. Programming is quick and easy. You can configure buttons to simply generate one character per press or create exotic combinations like macros, repeating keystrokes - just about anything you would need to enhance game play. The MWCS does require the MFCS, and when these two are paired together, the outcome is lethal.

The base of the MWCS is 5 1/2" wide by 6 3/4" deep with a total height of 6 1/2". The MWCS comes with a 6' cable installed and has 4 rubber feet to control stability. The MWCS base and handle are made from durable ABS plastic, the shaft is constructed of fiberglass re-enforced ABS plastic.

Note: The MWCS requires the MFCS.
