… all of which is fine, except TM France will only post to French addresses (according to their website).
Lynzoid - glad you got sorted.

I live in Belgium and there was no problems.

Okay, more time spent on the beast. Overall the stick is ok, i replaced S2 microswitch though - new one gives a more satisfying click. Hats seem ok, just had to resolder couple of wires back. So stick is good.
I even managed to install s/w under win10 64 with relatively no problems. And update fw (3.0.0.6) - btw is it the latest?
Anyway - my Z axis pot is dead as a dodo. I read 98kohm across 1 and 3 pins but central pin is dead. I assume it’s 100kohm pot? Or is it really specific to the cougar?
Otherwise Throttle unit works ok, all buttons hats and pots are responsive. I also was able to add some temporary padding to tighten the throttle lever feel (was just too loose) and adjusted detents.
Any s/w advice? Should i use foxy or just dx all the way? Should i manually calibrate the unit every time i start my rig up (read something somewhere about calibration not sticking on win 10 or something)?
Thanks all! Just tried landing TE with just stick attached. Wow. Feels better than plastic X55 that’s for sure. -

_It would be nice if Guillemot kept up the production Hotas Cougar Stick Parts and Throttle Parts, because many people still have it !!
I wish you a good Sunday and an excellent Week !!

Ok, little update here. Indeed, guillemot fr replied to me and i was able to order Z axis pot along with some hats. Shipping choice is ok. We’ll see how that goes.
I also ordered z hall sensor from vipers. -
Just got my viper hall sensor for my throttle. Giving credit where it’s due - shipping was blazing FAST. Thanks to the team. Going to attempt install soon.
