Need a Cougar Profile for BMS 4.32
-
Hi jocks!
I am becomimg mad about trying to program or load a WORKING Cougar profile.
Probably I am too dump but my nervs are down.
I appreciate any file, help or hint - Please! :bowd:SIX
-
Take a look here https://www.sendspace.com/file/p7bhn3
It is Sparta_DX.Key for Hotas Cougar. Sparta_DX.keys contain 3 files to be used depending on your hardware controllers
1Ī±) sparta_DX_NR_NT.key 2Ī±) sparta_DX_NR_Ī¤ 3Ī±) sparta_DX_R_T
Choose best suitable for you -
I can recommend the Dunc_DX profile which should already be there in your config directory.
What specific problems are you having? You need to program the stick using Foxy and change your axis setup accordingly.
Cheers, Uwe

Thx for your answers. Actually I tried the Dunc_DX. After endless programming using Foxy, recalibrating and crosschecking by test flights, it seems the profile is working - finally.
Best wishes and thx again from the Rhineland -
Glad to hear you got it working. Make a backup of your working configurationā¦
If you have further problems feel free to contact me by PM, I see we share the same time zoneā¦
Whenever my system boots up, the cursors on the cougar wonāt work unless I start the HCCP, āretrieve values from deviceā, followed by āapply settings to deviceā and then check them in the viewer.
No biggie, itās become a solid part of my boot-up checklist, so if this happens to you one day, you may perhaps remember this post.
Cheers, Uwe

Cheers, UweHmm, you know you can auto- load a profil on system start?
HCCP -> Startup & Calibration
ā¦ works fine for me.

Thanks LS, Iāve a profile set up for auto load but still the microstick wonāt work after booting the machine the first time. As Iāve said I donāt need to load any other profile to fix this, I just click āretrieveā and then āapplyā and the microstick works.
Very weird if you ask me, but then my Cougar has acted up in the past with needing a reflash and so on, so itās probably a hardware / usb ordering issue.
Cheers,
Uwe

For about 12 months, my cougar refused to auto load a profile. Then I reflashed it again, and it started letting me do it.

Yep, I had to reflash my Cougar a couple of times too, but Iām anxious to break anything if this is the āonlyā problem Iām having with it ATM. I guess a new firmware isnāt on the horizon any time soon, right?

hi , I have Dunc_DX too but the cancel selection on the dogfighte or mrm override does not work. Once in dogfight using the cougar button it will not go back to NAV mode upon returning the button to normal position. In fact it stays on dogfight unless I press c on keyboard. Did anyone had this problem?

Thereās a variable you need to set to 0 or 1 in the falcon config file. Iām not at my pc now but if you read the instructions that came with the keyfile you should find it.

This might be a silly question but is it really that hard to build you own profile, is it such a lost art ??
Especially for the cougar, you program it like a real stick. Look at the manual it has all the details.
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day: Give a man a arc welder he builds a trawler.
I think I might have got that wrong ?

yes, thank you for bringing it up. I read it in the read me file but unfortunately it didnāt help. This problem feels very familiar but I just canāt remember what I did the first time to resolve it.

I just downloaded Deejayās and it worked just fine, must have been something with the DX file.

What type a welding we talking here? And what positions? Some people just need fish.
In all honesty I tried to mess with the flyfoxy app but man that needs a while before everything sinks in. For now DX little strings work for me.

You can program a Cougar to do the functions of the F-16 in BMS without every using Foxy. Set all your controls as directX controls, with the keyfile and a text editor. Most of the work is done for you already by Kolbe.

Thatās what my last line tries to convey. Next time Iāll elaborate more:)

just an update, Deejayās key file was crashing the game whenever I clicked setup. I deleted the key file and now no crashes.

Number 6 in the README.pdf:
- Open the Falcon BMS.cfg file which is located in your BMS User\Config folder with a text
editor. Find the setting: set g_bHotasDgftSelfCancel. Itās set to 0 by default, please set it to 1.
