Hello Gents, I have been following these threads regarding the Potentiometer issues. Upon unboxing my TM HOTAS Cougar from storage, I noticed my “Z” values were NOT changing much if any, and I could only attain about 34% thrust with the throttle all the way forward. I concluded the “Pot” was an issue, so I ordered some from a Company I found in Texas (listed in another site, and I will be installing one to see if this fixes the issue and will advise accordingly. I also contacted Thrustmaster Europe) directly and I purchased a new POT from them (comes with wires & connectors) and will then try it too. The POTS from Mouser Electronics (Texas) arrived today 2 Mar 2021. The TM version should be here on the 8th.
More to come Sir’s…… JD
