Cougar FSSB/FCC/? mod
-
Do what I did. Spend months designing a desk ‘addon’ that is study enough to have a force sensing stick added to it. I’ve finished the build but haven’t bought the stick yet ha.
-
I see the R1 allows pressure to be modified by dip switches, does the FCC3 have anything similar or does it rely on you modifying curves in the cougar software? I’ll have to do a bit more reading on this but it sounds like I’d be happy with either the FCC3 or R1. Cheers everyone for the advice.
it will have when the “Warthog version” will come out.

The current FFC3 has pots you can adjust.

The trim pots are for centering. Not for sensitivity

Its raw input has no adjustment, however the input windows ends up seeing gets modified first, twice. First modification is due to the calibration file, which is where you set sensitivity for the stick if you are using FCC3. Second modification is you can use curves to modify the output, and you can configure these curves on the fly with Foxy.
Completely ignore the option for curves, leave it linear. BMS applies its own transforms to your inputs with the assumption that your input is linear.

The FSSB has sensitivity settings done via dip switches, but no tactile feedback adjustments (slight stick movement)
The FCC3 doesnt have hardware sensitivity adjustments as it can be done in software in curves and CCP calibration (i believe the strain gauges are preset to the real stick force pull specs), but it does come with either no mounting bushings, metal spring mount bushings or rubber o-ring bushings that provides different tactile feedback. The real FBW FSS has some stick play tactile feedback deflection, about 1/8 - 1/4 in iirc.

the “WH” version of FCC will have adjustable absolute force settings (along with some other “Easter eggs”)
-
Will it be worth upgrading to, for existing owners? Or will it not be compatible with the Cougar?

I wants one for my WHog. Can it be retro fitted to either the Cougar or Whog?
Is URI-BA = Arend?

I believe Uri-ba is helping Arend with the software. But when it’s all ready, you can get it all here…

…I’m planning to.

I’m no Arend
The FCC itself is pretty much the same naturally.But the Warthog version of the FCC has an independent USB controller, so it does not really matter what you have (you just need the grip).
Arend has designed the board to be a drop in replacement for the WH board (PCB size, mounting holes ect.), but that doesn’t mean you can’t install it as an independent controller for a cougar based FCC. You will then need to find a solution for your throttle

Warthog USB Adaptor… WUSBA?
-
Warthog USB Adaptor… WUSBA?
that’s RealSimulator name
and it’s not really a warthog adapter… more like an FCC controller
-
The blog shows a circuit board with FCC - Warthog USB Adapter written on it… so FWUSBA?
-
I intend to mount the board inside of Martin’s FCC base, so…FCCBWUSBA?..:rolleyes:…

WASABI is PEOPLE?..

-
Do you mean Kingosabi, Tonto?
…no…I meant Soylent WASABI.

Ah my bad, sorry for confusion. I must have misread their page as I was convinced it had force adjusting pots. No big deal, providing there is a software solution instead, as said.
