This last comment is fundamental - I’ve just spent hours over the last few weeks trying to get my X55 Throttle to work, just because selecting the right controller at the setup screen seems to be the right thing to do. Run setup with the Stick and it works! Obvious, really (?).

RE: Question about Cougar MFDs
I’ve just modified my TMs to fit better on my instrument monitor. I’ve taken the cables out sideways through the stand mounting holes rather than through the bottom entry port. Once you open up the back of the MFD housing, you can pull out & trim the the strain relief, then strip a little of the PVC covering back (leave enough for an interference fit between the mounting studs. Remember to make a LHS and RHS version. Now my connection cables fit neatly to the side, over the screen bezel and not onto any part of the visible screen.
Onto the next stage: MDF cutting & trial assembly. I am proposing to use double-sided tape for the MFD fixing. -
RE: YAME64 suite
Just got my first MFD working on a second display - I am so pleased that even on old geezer can get this thing working! Thank you so much for the program and the clear instructions.

RE: Touchscreen issues
As a noob to cockpit building, is Helios still available? Does it replace or work with MFD Extraction? I’m on my way to a touchscreen for main instruments & MFDs, and a beamer to 180 Degree external view. (in fact, just bought the trampoline frame to start building the screen - £20 well spent already).

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
As a n00b, I am following the installation instructions 5.x, which are quite clear. I’m trying to do the ‘clean install’ to avoid any legacy issues.
I’ve uninstalled all Saitek/Mad Katz software. However, when I go to the Device Manager and try to uninstall the Programming Support, my system (WIN10, i5, 8GB, GTX760) hangs up. I can’t believe it takes over an hour to uninstall a small utility so I’ve had to turn it off and turn it back on again.
On re-starting, all programming support is yellow flagged but still there. They refuse to go.
I’ve re-installed the Rhino drivers (Rhino_7_0_55_13_x64_Drivers) and the programming software (Rhino_7_0_55_13_x64_Software & Smart Technology 7_0_27_13 64Bit) . I can load the profile onto the HOTAS through STT but BMS can’t see the key file (or any keyfiles). That part of BMS Setup on Controllers where the key files available used to be listed, is now blank.
What am I missing?
Update:
Found that if I disable the drivers first, then they can be uninstalled & deleted. Also ran CCleaner Registry Cleaner to remove traces.Back on track, but still no keyfiles!
Upodate 2:
I had removed the default key files into a backup directory, thinking that fewer is better. In practice, BMS seems to require these default files in the User/Config folder. As soon as I’d replaced them, all key files (including the Snelle one) were visible.
