Using the warthog stick and cougar throttle
-
Yes, there are
But hopefully they also workI was talking about this
Would this also work ?
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 don’t think that adapter would work. Cougar TQS never worked on his own. It has VGA connection but that doesn’t 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 Foxy…and/or TARGET?) - I think you also need to remove the stick grip from the Cougar if I recall…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. It’s 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 I’m not sure if that is supposed to be a detent as well for Idle and AB. I’ve read the manual on realsim and I’m pretty sure only 1,6,9 are supposed to be on but the manual references the R1…… I have the R2. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks

I had the wrong manual…. 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?
-
I’m not sure. How do I find out? I purchased it around April of this year.
-
I just looked through Windows device manager and there isn’t any info on its firmware. On the TUSBA itself it says JOD/JOB? Code 0108. That’s 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 available…but the latest download may only contain the latest one. I’ve saved all of my previous ones.
If you are having issues with the HID, DCC, or firmware, I’d suggest e-mailing RealSim directly. They are very responsive and have even fixed a few things I’ve reported in previous firmware releases…they’ve 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.
-
Interesting…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 setup…. Just leave the Cougar connected and put it somewhere behind your desk
That’s an excellent idea… 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 “dogfight/mastermode override” 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
