@jcook
The analog (throttle) and digital (button) circuits are completely separate.
You should not see any change of button inputs to the game while moving the throttle unless you have some damaged wiring which is shorting when you move the throttle. Like i said before check the hardware first.

@lcriscola Interesting. Which I approached them last year on replacement pots they told me they were out. I do need to find a replacement microstick cable

@Lotty Now you are motoring… …

@jcook In CCP Axis Setup, did you saved the Startup options (Axis response=User mode, Emulation=On, Calibration Mode=Manual Calibration, my profile loaded. That’s my options for i.e.) ?..

@coyotte I bought mine , can’t really remember when, 2019? , from “Vipergear” (NL)… they/ the owner? was here on forum , or was that old forum? … anyway just google for that name

You can’t miss with that, no more pots… never seen cleaner axis travel… probably for the lifetime.

Cheers

@chopper27
Heh, good for solving with workaround - bad, as is it not supposed to be like that.
Once calibrated and programmed there shouldn’t be need for stick … to be powered at all, or connected, … to remember calibration/program.

Now, recently we were talking about something old you may:
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/347051

See this line:

USE HWSTARTUP (EMULATION_ON, AXIS_MODE_USER, CALIBRATION_MANUAL)

Did you program your stick ? Do you have this line in the top of the program ?
This is advanced and need to read manual/readme which came with Foxy… Can’t say about TARGET , never used it.

Thank you i was wondering why my microstick wasn’t working 🙂

For someone to help you, they will probably need more information.

When you press those buttons in the setup/ control window do the stick: weapon release (pickle) and stick: second trigger detent inputs appear in the lower part of the window?

What steps did you take to try and pickle a missile and fire the guns? Did you complete the training missions and are you familiar with how to fire a missile and the guns?

@Alfred However, your post made me think to recheck the Cougar control panel axis setup and I noticed these axis were set to 9 and 10 which were crossed out. I got it fixed thanks to your question. still not any indication of the cursor movement in setup but in the quick training Landing mission they work again. Thanks bud, I owe you a beer or two if you ever come to Dallas.

<p>mine was working fine for a long time then it started drifting. Thought it was the microstick but that looked fine in the in game setup.</p>

<p>@MLU <br />the other trick is to keep your cougar unplugged for a while , the time needed for the condensators to discharge</p>

<p>I just got my 3D-printed “shim collar” from Shapeways. They made it using Uri_ba’s STL file for the stock Warthog, as I described in one of my previous posts.<br /><br />I haven’t flown with it yet, but I predict I am going to like it. Now that I have placed in into the gap at the base of my WH stick (on a Realsimulator FSSB), the stick feels very “solid”, with no “play”.<br /><br />When this part first arrived, I couldn’t quite put it into the gap. It was a little too tall, compared to the size of the gap. I put a sheet of sandpaper on my desk, and carefully rubbed the part around on the sandpaper, to make it a little bit thinner. I only sanded one side, and I changed the way I was holding the part, and the directions that I was moving the part on the sandpaper, many times. I did this in order to (hopefully) keep the sanded side nice and smooth and planar, without removing more plastic from one place than another. The second picture shows the sandpaper when I had it on my desk. I could sand for a little while, then dust off the part, check the fit, and then sand some more.<br /><br />I sanded until I could just get the part most of the way in to the gap. I can remove it, but it takes a lot of force with my fingers. Now I feel no “play” at all in the stick.<br /><br />I will be curious to see how this holds up in the long term. If it somehow undergoes “wear”, I guess I can just shim it with some thin tape, or order a new one from Shapeways.<br /><br />At any rate, I am looking forward to flying with it.<br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/bkaEpEm.jpg” /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/ol61Xk4.jpg” /></p>

@bvt_9 , that’s a great suggestion as I hardly ever use the Sym button on my TM MFDs. Thanks!

Personally I got rid of Foxy and Target long ago for my Cougar. Too many keypress conflicts for my liking. I use only DX programming in key file for all 9 of my peripherals. It works way better and it accommodates the shifted layer as well. Just save the file and slap it in when you reinstall and you are good to go forever, no more programming ever again.

@coral36

Thanks Coral I did that and it worked…

Sorry guys found it…

Buzzbomb,
What they said. 😉 Or just install the 4.35 Alternate Launcher , sit down with a real life HOTAS diagrams, and have your set up in <10minutes. Having the Cougar will make that even easier.
One thing I did notice, in my Warthog setup, was that the trim axis’ didn’t work on the Hat. But if you assign it by keyboard commands the jet trims just fine

Reports so far are ok
