Cougar not detected
-
<p>@Draft ; I have the TUSBA and will install it when I get my stick working again.</p>
-
<p>Well, tried all options, hints and trix, but no Cougar stick coming up for firmware update. I think my Cougar motherboard has left me, RIP, my computer and USB overview tells me so. But, lucky me, I have 2 sets of Cougars, so still operational. Thanks everybody for helping out.</p>

<blockquote>Hi, my Cougar is not seen by Hotas Cougar Panel anymore, se picture. Have moved to other USB’s, but no luck. Anyone have a workaround?<br /><br /></blockquote><p>@MLU; Did you solve the problem…?</p>
-
<p>Well warthog base and TUSBA to the rescue, or even maybe full force-sensing base if money is less of a problem</p>
-
<p>@MLU get rid of the base of that thing & the software that comes with it, it’s all outdated. Go with reasimulator+TUSBA replacement.</p>
-
<p>@Coral36 , no, it is not detected by Win10 anymore.</p>
-
<p>@Alfred . I am on it yes, Realsim will get an order… checking with my bank, ehhh wife.</p>

<p>That is a very classic cougar problem <br /><br />got that all the time , cougar electronics is a piece of shit <br /><br />normally changing of USB port is sufficient but if this is not you need to clean entirely all your USB ports from Hotas reference before reconnecting <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

<blockquote>no, it is not detected by Win10 anymore.</blockquote><p>@MLU<br />I’ve solved with the following procedure: Assuming that your USB ports works correctly,<br />1) Disconnect the Cougar from the computer then disconnect the throttle and the rudders (if you have…) from the joystick unit.<br />2) Reconnect the Joystick to the computer, PRESSING THE MAIN TRIGGER FULLY AND HOLDING IT FOR 5 sec once connected.<br />3) Launch the Firmware update application (Start > Programs > Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar >Hotas Cougar update)<br />4) Follow the on screen instructions. Once this is done, launch the Hotas Cougar Control Panel (CCP). You will get a message saying that there was no TMC profile detected in the Hotas Cougar and that the default profile will be downloaded to the device.<br />5) Once done, close the Hotas Cougar Control panel, disconnect the joystick from the computer. Reconnect the throttle, rudders (again if you have rudder pedals) and then the Hotas Cougar to the computer.<br /><br /></p>

<p>@Mav-jp , how do I clean the USB ports. I have tried Coral36 checklist, but no detection.</p>
-
<p>@MLU <br />send a PM to @badboy , he knows the name of the utility </p>
-
<p>@MLU <br />the other trick is to keep your cougar unplugged for a while , the time needed for the condensators to discharge</p>
