  1. This is more or less what I'm looking to do also, except I'm not using VR. Would you happen to have any measurements and pics on how you built the ICP enclosure to attach to the main panel? Looks great! Edit: I see you link CAD files in the thread now... just need to figure out how to view them
  2. Hey guys, just an FYI I was able to mount the F16 Orion to my J-PEIN mounts with nuts and bolts, ironically just as the manual suggested. I first tried heavy duty velcro, but the throttle was so wobbly it wasn't working. I found a kit on Amazon with the exact bolts (M4) and a variety of screw lengths. I chose the 16mm screws with 2 washers each. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S18NHP5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details First thing I did was take the guide rail off and re mount the rails on the top and bottom of the base so that the slot is as aligned as possible to the holes. Then I reattached the rail and adjusted it again to the full throw of the throttle. I flipped the whole thing upside down on my lap and put the J-PEIN on it. One at a time I slid a M4 nut into the slot, and used the included screwdriver to slowly push the nut into the slot until it lined up with a hole. I then took a 16mm screw and put 2 washers on (big enough not to slip through the J-PEIN channel) and threaded it carefully into the nut, mostly tight but still moveable. Once I got all 4 in and adjusted, I really cranked the screws down. This thing is SOLID. So, WinWing was right, despite the holes not lining up perfectly, it works great!
  3. Hi guys, I just received my WW F-16 throttle and am trying to figure out how to calibrate it so that the afterburner detent matches to the DCS F16 AB detent. I launched SimAppPro and calibrate the afterburner there, but when I go into DCS, the throttle goes to AB when I go to 100% MIL power on the WinWing. So going from there to AB does nothing in DCS. Obviously I'm missing something on calibrating it. Is there a step by step? Thanks!
  4. I would love to see what the vertical timber panel looks like. I'm about to mount mine to a J-PIEN and it seems velcro is the consensus on doing this sadly.
  5. I noticed this thread started a while ago... is this still being made / sold? I'm interested!
  6. Hey guys, I'm in the market for one of these. I actually don't have the Cougar stick yet so if you're looking to sell the stick with the FSSB installed I might be interested in that too. Anyone looking to part with one?
  7. Ok cool, thank you. Good to know it probably isn't affected, but I saved that pdf just in case.
  8. Hey guys, I just received my Cougar throttle from eBay and have heard that the "later" versions did not have an issue with the speed brake switch compared to the earlier ones. This one is serial # 25080. Can anyone tell me if that is past the speed brake problem? I went ahead and proactively ordered the C-MUK hall sensor upgrade for it but hoping everything else works fine. She looks like she's in good shape at least!
  9. That's exactly what I was thinking but wanted to make sure there wasn't another advantage (programming, etc). Thanks!!
  10. Hey guys, I'm curious to know if there's any advantage to getting a TUSBA adapter for the Cougar throttle instead of plugging directly into the Cougar stick? I know it's designed to allow you to use any other stick like a Warthog etc, but if I have a Cougar setup does switching the throttle to USB gain me any advantages?
  11. Oh sweet, the throttle C-MUK is back in stock! I just ordered one too... man the shipping is more than the C-MUK itself.
  12. Anyone looking to sell their Cougar HOTAS? I'd be interested if so. Edit: I picked up a Cougar throttle on eBay but still need the stick. Either cougar or warthog would do. I'd be very interested in FSSB too. Thanks!
