Hi to all I'm a pround owner and user of Hotas Cougar. Time and use, however, mean that it requires maintenance, specially on parts like brake pad and bearings that produce the sticktion. Firts of all, I change the grease with an NLGI 3 grease (silicon synth based) available in europe (Nyogel 767a is hard to find with high cost); I suggest OKS 1110, a product Made in Germany and easy available in EU. But despite the greasing, sticktion continue. The issue was the bearings; those two rings, plastic on plastic, are a worse choiste for hold a moving axis. Following a online old tutorial about it (cougarfoxy) I've applied tu small picese of alufoil between bearing and axis, putting some OKS 1110 grease also. Same trick on friction pad: little alufoil on pad and a glossy tape on axis, also with grease in the middle. Result a smooth throttle, but I wuold change glossy tape with ptfe tape in future. By the way, my question is the following: the bearing are a very weak and cheap part of this throttle; possible that no-one produce an aftermarket compatible bearing? I find on web a lot of slim/thin bearing (also with carbon). Bearings mod is also a thing you can do in other product, like TWCS. Anyone know if can do similar mod on Cougar of have data information for try this experiment?

then if you suffer a tank wing hit the plane is gone?

yes I read about it, but I want to know if the switch (in the real world) can save fuel shutting of section of tanks

Hello. Every time after taking damage over wing, the fuel leak drain all fuel and I have to eject. I would like to know if, using fuel management switch, I can isolate damaged tanks to stop fuel leak and save the fuel of the intact tanks. For example, I taking damage with leak on left wings; switching to FWD (F/R priority) I also exclude A/L line shutting of it and limiting fuel loss only to A/L line? thank you!

wait...is normal that with last patch seem that autotrim is gone? CATIII seem like CATI and the plane is really unstable :(...that's normal??

take a look here remember to LOAD always the profile of you setting in Saitek X56 software before start DCS to have it working

Hi! There are any suggestion for curves of X56 to be used with X56? Tks!

I took a flight a few days ago on Lima Kilo server...seem Long ECM pod also for me break lock more quickly and more effectively; two times a couple of MIG-25 have serious trouble to lock me also at 40-60 nm (more or less)

maybe the "test" are us..... Inviato dal mio SM-A405FN utilizzando Tapatalk

I think you can do it programming a sort of auto-loop for the button you assing to lasing (for example for Saitek using the external software that can do it, if you have a Saitek obviously)

tested...no way to slave cursor on HSD...

I want to do a test for this

fantastic! I will try this way!! thanks! Inviato dal mio SM-A405FN utilizzando Tapatalk

maybe you can copy the TGP coord in A-G mode (no HARM) and after enter a steerpoint for use HARM mode? But I think to do it you have also to load somethings like jdam or bombs

Hello. Thats' my question: I want tro try to fire HARM using the DTC Sam Circle displayed on HSD. It's will be a "estimated position" and RUK mode is what we need for this. Unfortunately we don't know a coordinates for create a Steerpoint to use for this purpose . I know that a HSD Cursor is WIP, then we can use this tool. How I can do to estimate the position in coord. DMS to make a firing solution for the HARM?? My idea is to use for example the TGP; place the TGP cursor of HSD over the center of Sam yellow circle and read the coord. indicated by TGP on MFD. All this remaing out of the Sam range. is this way reliable in your opinion? Tks!

I've fired a couple of JSOW on SA-2 site...the result was only very light damage...also SA-75 Ramp have around 5-10% of damage. I supposte that a thing like a ramp with a explosive missile on it will be really a very very light object, instead it resist like a T-80.....

Is possible to add a sort of advise on loadout page to set AGM-88 for 4&6 with a warning like "NOT USABLE" to avoid error during rearm and refuel or initially setup fo F-16?

sarebbe opportuno che ED, qualore non ci fosse, mettesse un warning...concordo

sure...you have to find the right setting of saturation Y for you. a perfect value dont exist. Inviato dal mio SM-A405FN utilizzando Tapatalk

as an Italian, I hope really to buy this plane in future

hi dude. yes, you have to tune Y axis of your RDR cursor...put Saturation Y around 40 work good for me.

will HTS page should work also for lock sam position (coord.) for use is as markpoint for Jdam in future? Maybe is useful for sead/dead again shorad sam (sa8,etc) Inviato dal mio SM-A405FN utilizzando Tapatalk

I have the same error log. but seem paging on SSD fix the issue but I havo to check the new logs also Inviato dal mio SM-A405FN utilizzando Tapatalk
