Hello,
I posted this on the viperpits forum and someone suggested I try here.
I just got a Thrustmaster Cougar from Ebay and I’m having problems calibrating it. I hope I didn’t buy a lemon…
Using the HOTAS Cougar View, the rotaries on the throttle are both registering slightly below center when they are at their center detents (and they both show the same value at the detent). I’ve tried running the manual calibration but after going through all the steps, it tells me that my maximum value both rotaries is less than the defined center. I’ve found references online to a “set center” option in the HOTAS CCP but I’m not seeing it (maybe it’s there and I’m just oblivous). I tried manully setting the “Calibration Center” value to what I see in the viewer when the rotaries are in their detent points but that doesn’t seem to help.
The documentation says it is self calibrating so I’ve been turning them to the one extreme, waiting a few minutes, and then going to the other extreme but it doesn’t seem to catch on.
Other than the two rotaries, everything else on the stick and throttle appears to be working fine.
Any thoughts on what I should try?
