http://www.cubpilotshangar.net is dead…
-
Not really. Thx to Blu3wolf
Look @ this -
oh no
No idea. Well, guess its up to the Wayback Machine!

for future reference, any site which is dead, you can look up the internet archive to see if they were indexed. If so, then a copy of the site as it existed when it was archived will be saved online. The internet archive used to be known as the wayback machine.
As you may have guessed, web.archive.org is the site for the internet archive. Hope that helps you with any other dead sites, too.

does anyone have cub pilots information locally saved? Even with the internet archive, most is lost…

So Im only just now realising that the text on those pages was an image…. just one more reason why images for text is horrible, horrible web design…
-
it’s how the archiver website works. It makes a snapshot of the page. Even the first cougar page (that works) is actually an image

Right, but thats the way the page was coded, NOT the way that the site works. You can check any other site its archived.
Just so you know, making a snapshot and saving the picture of the page would require sooooo much more storage space than just saving the page source file.

Well… I hope someone has the installation information available now CubPilot is gone.
Let’s try to get it all valid again here. Here’s what I can find and know:
-
Remove prior installation information for the Cougar throught the Control Panel and manually remove the HOTAS folder in ProgramFiles(X86)
-
Save a Restore Point before installing the Cougar drivers. When problems arise, perform the removal instructions above and than restore your windows installation to the previously made restore point.
-
Keep your cougar disconnected during driver install
-
Deactivate User Account Control
-
In UAC settings, move the “notify” slider all the way down to “never”
-
Optionally: reboot PC
-
Download the Vista 64 bits driver here (2007_HCO_VISTA_64_RC1.exe):

–----------------------------------------------------------------------
above comes from CubPilots first Cougar page, underneath is an educated google-guess- Install driver with admin rights in Vista SP2 compatibility mode
- Follow the instructions on the screen , with install completed you will now have to find and install a file called “STTubeDevice203.dll”
- Look in your folder at location “C:\HOTAS\drivers” and find “STTubeDevice203.dll” file. Then copy and paste the “STTubeDevice203.dll” file into “C:\Windows\SysWow64” folder.

I never had to mess with that .dll before.

Yeah, downloading now so I can re-upload…
EDIT: Cubpilot’s Cougar Tips
-
IF someone still have any problem with his Cougar try to connect it in a USB 2.0! And not in a USB 3.0.
-
Do you have the .pdf on the HS1 throttle modification? The filedropper.com site is not displaying the file.
-
The filedropper link is the same file that I am mirroring (linked in my post above). It doesnt have the HS1 info though.
-
Nope sorry, i have only the inffo the cougar setup
-
Using this method, I was able to install drivers and software on Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) …
-
“Windows 10/ 8/ 7 - No drivers are required for this device”
“This device is fully compliant with the “Human Interface Device” (HID) specifications. By simply connecting your device to the computer’s USB port, it will be installed automatically by Windows, ensuring you a perfect compatibility with any games and programs (such as T.A.R.G.E.T).”Is this true for W7/64?
