@gusva They do to the best of my knowledge. From what I understand there are two guys who make up Vipergear and they have their hands full. I would check the site and see if it is in stock. If not look at my Super Cougar write it has a parts there and you can find the sensor from a gentleman on a DCS forum who makes them as well.
Check this link it will give you a list of parts I have used:

No response on my email request too either from vipergear nor from DCS guy so far since a bit more than a week.
My throttle is cracking and I don’t like to clean the potentiometer.
Now I’m waiting for an answer…
It’s like 3 - 4 weeks 🤭 -
Six years on and this is still running perfectly.

@gusva I got an answer from the DCS forum guy regarding his cougar throttle mods.
Maybe an option for you.
Link to DCS forum was flagged as spam.
Try to google it with cougar throttle hall sensor.

I have both force sensors and Hall sensors for my Cougar joystick that I never installed. And a Hall sensor for the throttle that I never installed.
If at some point, someone wants to take on the job at a fair price, I’d sure be interested in talking to you about it.
Yes, I COULD do the work myself, but I’d rather entrust it to someone who has been there, done that, and has a clear path to success and even better, a proven track record of achieving success.

@Buzzbomb you have hal sensor yet? I lookin for buy.

@gusva try here. You would have to email the gentleman but I have one of his sensors in my TQS.

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/188571-tm-cougar-ch-magnetoresistive-hall-sensor-kits/?tab=comments#comment-188613I can confirm that his sensor and USB conversion board is excellent and far better than the TUSBA.

@scubapics I use his hall sensor, but use a leoboard board.

dont know if this helps but I’ve just got around to fitting my cub pilot hall sensor & just wanted to share the info he sent me incase it might help someone, sorry to hear hes passed his mod works perfect .

@JUmpstart5179 Thanks Thanks thanks ! you save my cougar!
-
@gusva You’re welcome. I ran some of this gambit a couple of years ago with mine.
-
Has anyone found a source for the cougar throttle ‘rng/uncage’ pot (the one with the press button). ?
-
@Fish44 I know when I replaced the range pot the first time I used a guitar/amplifier pot so maybe one that has a push button would work.
-
@JUmpstart5179 Cheers, yeah pots are easy to get, but have not come across one with a ‘push’ button. Actually have some with a rotary switch, but that’s no good.

@Fish44
My Deluxe American Strat has a push button in the potentiometer, but it locks in place; i.e. it’s either in or out/On or Off, not just a push button for a quick digital input like we want. I’m sure there has to be one out there.
