Ran BMS 3.73 today, rudder pedals working perfectly. The crimped wires are not a factor. I have heard the expression, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”, Yes, I was using the sim when he chewed the cable under my desktop. I was so focused on the game I didn’t notice what was happening until I lost rudder control. Initially thought it was a BMS 3.73 bug as I am no longer using the Cougar CCP with the new Launcher. Interesting, the cat does not like an AC electrical cord. I was worried about that as well, thanks!
