HOTAS Cougar Vs Windows 10
-
Yes, I have been able to flash my unmodded Cougar with Win 10/64 using the normal procedures (unplug, then plug back in with trigger depressed for a few seconds). I have done it on at least two occasions since installing Win 10/64.
Well that is hopefull. I might jump back into win 10 maybe??
-
I recently installed win 10 on my Mac via bootcamp problem free. I programmed the cougar directly in BMS. I’m a novice, so there was a lot of trial and error, but I eventually got it done. I just installed 4.33 yesterday, and it runs fine.

hey guys
has anyone encountered a device detection error after the installation?edit-disregard

help ! running win10, unable to open 2007_HCO_VISTA_64RC1 , indicating CPU missing STTubeDevice203.dll .
when using 3_HCO_2004 everything seems to work using Dunc’s profile in Foxy except microstick and unable to manually calibrate cougar ( option in CCP / 3_HCO_2004 not available ) .( been searching and reading BMSforum but no joy )
question : 1) should i try and resolve issues and stay with Win10 ?
2) go back to Win7
3) go back and play PacMan due to frustration ?thanks in advance and cheer !

I’m sure this has been asked before.
On 64 bit systems the DLL is installed in the wrong place and needs copying to the correct one. Off the top of my I can’t remember which directories though (currently at work). Do a search on the forums using the DLL name and you should get a result. If not hopefully a helpful soul will come by with the missing info.

Hi guys, judging by this thread, some have had success with Win10 regarding the TM HOTAS Cougar. To facilitate a (manual) throttle calibration, I decided to download Foxy.
As per instructions at ‘Cougar Flyfoxy’, I cleared the TM firmware from the stick (to make way to input new firmware to the stick)……[note: no software came with the stick]
……
Attempting to download TM firmware to the stick with the HOTAS Cougar Update function, I encounter the following …… (the flightstick is connected, btw)
…………
I’m thinking that the problem has to do with the ‘Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar’ device status given by Win10, which is displayed with a warning label and with two status messages … 1.) Needs troubleshooting……2.) Driver is unavailable
……
Problem is, when I try to apply the fix (as provided for by Win10), I encounter messages telling me the drivers for this device are not installed … and … that there are no drivers for this device (verified on the TM site there are no drivers required).
…………
Does this mean then that I am unable to flash my stick after having just cleared it? lol … help! -
Well I had the Firmware not being able to flash back when Win 10 first came out. I do know you can get those inout drivers in your HOTAS Folder. but did you installe the 2007_HCO_VISTA_64_RC1 program??
I never founfd a fix to FLASH the Cougar in Win10

“Device Not Connected” is a common and long-standing issue with the Cougar, but is (almost) always fixable. Basically the problem is that windows does not recognize that the Cougar USB device is connected. Try:
1. Uninstall and reinstall (as administrator) the correct 2007 driver program, as listed above. Ensure no install errors.
2. In Windows Device Manager, ensure all the HID, Keyboard and Mouse device drivers are properly installed with no errors.
3. Ensure Sttubedevice203.dll file resides in C:\Windows/SysWOW64. Then
4. Try connecting to different USB connectors directly on your motherboard, until the device is recognized by Windows. USB hubs can occasionally cause issues. -

I am addicted and I love it!

Nephilim, Habu … thank you kindly for your responses. No, Nephilim - I had installed the (3_HCO_2004.exe).
I corrected that by installing the (2007_HCO_VISTA_64_RC1.exe). It took me awhile, and I’m not quite sure exactly how
I managed it, but long story short, I was able to get (Sttubedevice203.dll) into my Windows/SysWOW64. Referring to
other instructions I’d googled up on the subject, I found my ‘Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar’ device no longer had the
warning label attatched to it. And ultimately I was able to cleanse and reflash my flightick. I can try recreating my exact
steps for you if you want Nephillim, but I know now it is possible to do (yea, I covered a lot of territory today so I’m a
little foggy on my exact steps right now). I’m on to studying the Foxy manual presently cuz I’m still havin a quite time
of calibrating everything … but definitely progress here. Thanks guys, I thought I was ‘dead-in-the water’ there for a bit. -
Yes I would love to know how to flash the cougar in Win 10… I just tried it a minute ago and was not succesfull… I am unsure what to do but I hope you remember what you did and I can recreate your success…

What is the reason the Cougar is being reflashed?
On my Win 7 and 8.1 PCs, I’ve not had to do this for my Cougar
I did have to do it for my WartHog as its bios was old.Is it to do a master reset?

Hi, I have big Problems with my Cougar after the last Update of WIN 10. I installed the CCP und the drivers but when I would like to load CCP I get the error 14 warning. After that I flash the Cougar with unconnected throttle, but now, there will be no axis and button, or throttle working. The Cougar seems to be dead. What can I do now? It looks like, that windows10 doens´t recognized, that I plugged in a Stick and throttle. The Cougar is also not recongnized by the Thrustmaster Software.
Please, can you help?
