I downloaded the Dunc file but every button I press retrieves one of the OSB buttons instead of what that button supposed to do. I even installed windows 10. Can someone help me figure out why the buttons in setup are not doing what they are supposed to?

I installed windows 10but that didn’t remove the prob. all my cougar buttons are reading OSBs

those pots will wear within a year or so, and no matter how many times you replace them you will always have to do the same thing. Hall sensors were the best but Cupilot is absent from these forums. I hope someone can call him back.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on, I can assign keys to different buttons on the cougar manually but by itself every button is reading LMFD followed by a number. The ones I assign are kept but why aren’t the key assignments for a profile chosen by foxy being seen? (the file is downloaded to the stick and everything is checked perfectly-I am really puzzled!!)

@spit:

CMS down is not working on a cougar base if you are using the PCB from the cougar.
Not possible, period

CMS down works fine. Its depress CMS that does not work. Just to clarify.;)

I think Archer might mean all his Cougar buttons and hats work as advertised on the Warthog stick.

Well, the realistic way involves physically lifting the throttle up and pushing it up into the AB range. No click involved, just a mechanical action.

I personally use the second click - so that advancing the throttle from midrange, I get one click telling me I am at MIL, and a second click tells me I am in AB.

Ive also modified the position of the detents, such that the second click is very nearly at the end of the throttle travel (same for IDLE).

Yeah, slammed at work to day and didn’t have time to respond. Will take a look inside when I get home tonight. The hall sensors look right but need to compare the brackets. Will get back later tonight.

Go to Viperpits.org and search for hall sensor mods. One of the people there modded a Cougar for about twenty dollars and gave instructions on how to do it. This was several years ago.

maybe a solution for win10 and flashing the cougar… In case u don’t know there is a dvd laying around in the net called Hirens boot cd or dvd. this has an xp boot… from there u can install and use software. maybe this would work for flashing your cougar.

yup, from the CCP manual

“This message has been added because of reports of users having problems with slow throttle response directly after flashing the firmware. In order to protect users unaware of the possible issue, this message warns the user to unplug their throttle before continuing the flash sequence. If you’re content to continue with the throttle plugged, check the available checkbox, if not, follow the instructions given.”

Has anyone suggested “Range Knob” yet?

The ol’ by the book method is to let it creep up to 25 knots, brake moderately down to 15, and repeat. 10 or less in the corners especially near MTOW. Dragging the brakes lightly induces more heat and wear than necessary which can be an unpleasant surprise on rejected takeoff or after landing.

AAR is just plane hard.

Well Im glad you got it sorted out then 🙂

I need the instructions for CubPilot’s HS1 throttle modification, I have all the parts.

Moved to the appropriate forum

@Elf-108VFS:

Hi all,
1st I want to thank whoever made this great sim,
I have a problem with using th JagStang BMS2.0+OF profile under BMS 4.32,
Some of the buttons do not functio (i.e. DGFT/MRM switch), microswitch doesn’t respond and so on,
I loaded the .key file and I’m using the HOTAS emulation through FOXY……
BTW, JagStang works great on OF 4.7, AF and the good old SP4.2…
My RIG is i5-2500 3.3GHz on ASUS P8H67 M-Pro, 8GB Ram, GTX550Ti, TIR 4, CH pedals, HOTAS COUGAR, WIN7
Please advise,
THX 😞

@Nutty:

Don’t use Jagstang’s files … they’re no longer suitable for BMS.

Not sure why Jagstang isn’t working for either of you…perhaps it is due to an older update (This is an old thread), but I loaded up Jagstangs BMS 2.0 keyfile in 4.32 Update 7 and it works fine with only minor adjustments. IMO, much better than Dunc’s keyfiles.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. Funny thing is, I HAD a Foxy profile that ran NWS perfectly, BUT, it didn’t change FOV via the hat switch. I’m very dependent on FOV changes. So I changed profiles, and now I can’t find that one that had working NWS commands. If I could find that again, I’d copy that section of code over to one that allows me to change FOV via the hat, and get everything I want.

I even went so far as to load up Falcon Allied Force, and then the original F4, to see if maybe a controller setup issue in BMS was the issue. It was really an eye opener to see just how far we’ve come since the original F4. I hadn’t realized that the changes to the look and feel of the sim were as dramatic as they really are. I guess it seems like less of a change when you have pretty much followed along with all the upgrades and enhancements to come down the pipeline since the early days. Original BMS, then BMS 2, various other mod packs, etc. All made incremental improvements, but the total improvement from the original F4 to BMS 4.32 is far more dramatic than any single upgraded from one version to the next one.

Ive already figured out i need to change the DX numbering on the spreadsheet as it doesnt lineup with the BMS UI DX numbers. And i know i set the controller # correctly in the generator
Honestly its just a pain in the ass

@Darkman:

Yes

Dunc_DX

Also without TrackIR?
