Using the warthog stick and cougar throttle

Yes, there are
But hopefully they also workI was talking about this
Would this also work ?
-
Or cheaper, Uri_Ba Cougar TQS based in arduino: https://pits.108vfs.org/uriba/standalone-cougar-tqs-part-i/
I did that and works very good!Page 2 does not load ? Seems a lot of interesting electronic solutions for falcon there.

Sorry I quoted wrong post (deleted now). Why would you use a usb to vga adaptor for joystick connection ? BTW I have read gameport to usb devices not always successful.
-
I donāt think that adapter would work. Cougar TQS never worked on his own. It has VGA connection but that doesnāt mean it is a screen. You need something to read the potentiometers and buttons/switches.

So that actually works ?
Just leaving the stick connected and also use the warthog-stick.Yes, this does work (and allows you to still use Foxyā¦and/or TARGET?) - I think you also need to remove the stick grip from the Cougar if I recallā¦I used to do this before I got my TUSBA R2. Still highly recommend the TUSBA!

Nevermind

+1 for the TUSBA R2

OK, so I enabled the TUSBA to hold down a keystroke when in the center position of a three position switch. Itās supposed to turn on (I believe) buttons 1,6 and 9. However when I enabled it 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 were all on. This in turn caused the throttle to spike and Iām not sure if that is supposed to be a detent as well for Idle and AB. Iāve read the manual on realsim and Iām pretty sure only 1,6,9 are supposed to be on but the manual references the R1ā¦ā¦ I have the R2. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks
-
I had the wrong manualā¦. Sorry for all the posts.
-
After getting the right manual the TUSBA still does not work properly. Buttons 6 and 9 are not always on. Any ideas?
-
Which firmware are you using?
-
Iām not sure. How do I find out? I purchased it around April of this year.
-
I just looked through Windows device manager and there isnāt any info on its firmware. On the TUSBA itself it says JOD/JOB? Code 0108. Thatās all I can find because the firmware upgrade program will not see .NET Framework and install.
-
If you run the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL software it will tell you which firmware is installed and give you a graphical interface for calibration and setup. Run DCC to install firmware; I think it will have a list of availableā¦but the latest download may only contain the latest one. Iāve saved all of my previous ones.
If you are having issues with the HID, DCC, or firmware, Iād suggest e-mailing RealSim directly. They are very responsive and have even fixed a few things Iāve reported in previous firmware releasesā¦theyāve been very helpful for me!
-
Make sure you get the TUSBA-R2 and not the original -R1 because it is not firmware upgradable and wont work with the calibration software.
-
Interestingā¦I knew there were multiple reasons I got the R2 - missed that one!
-
TUSBA R1 works fine if all you want is a simple plug and play solution which you can check/calibrate the axes through Windows 7 Game Controllers software.
-
Or you can go with my setupā¦. Just leave the Cougar connected and put it somewhere behind your desk
Thatās an excellent ideaā¦ however will you still be able to use the DX shifted layer using the pinky switch on the WT stick in combination with the throttle?
All the best, Uwe

Hi. Just bought TUSBA R2 myself.
Buttons 1, 6 and 9 are middlepositionmarkers. Ie, when you push ādogfight/mastermode overrideā switch fwd to MRMoverride mode: button 6 light go off (another light for MRM position go on) When push it back again to middleposition/cancel override: button 6 lights up again. Likewise when push it bwd to SRM.
Button 9: same thing but for Airbrakeswitch.
Was it this that was your question? Best Regards, Michael
