Hello,
Read this documentation, nest link !!

Welcome back Mark. I told you not to sell your Cougar :lol:
Just set it up the same as you did in Vista/Windows 7 etc. I know some people post you need to use Compatability mode, but having just switched my flight pc to Windows 10 I didn’t need to do that.
Grab the latest drivers from thrustmaster if you’ve not still got them: https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/hotascougar-en/
BMS HOTAS Setup files are in your C:\Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup\TM Cougar (Dunc_DX) folder. Readme is in there, or you can read the Cougar chapter in the BMS Device Setup Guide one folder level up.

Thanks Phil, Malpaso….
Yes, it remains to be seen how effectively I can deal with the steep re learning curve, especially as I am a lot more time poor than I was before…For me the biggest hurdle is getting all my peripherals properly installed and working. So expect some further queries along the way…;)
Does using the grip ( or indeed a different grip such as the RS F-16 make any difference to any of the procedures?

Hello Mark,
did you manage to get the throttle to work properly yet?BTW: With my freshly installed Win 10 64, I used exactly the same the same installation procedure, like the one described in malpasos post and it worked flawlessly!
Good luck in re-learming Falcon!
