A bag of lemons and a nice sim.

Noooo Bloody way. I don't care if it's made from gold. I've been bitten by Thrustmaster too many times.

Mine is a number 28,000 something. I took the detents off and now can feel the rubbish pot that resides inside. WORST ....HOTAS.....EVER. Hate Cougars with a passion. Need 1,200 Australian to fix and then you need the skill to do it and the tools which I don't. If I fixed the gimbals and the throttle with hall sensors(lol,I'd stuff it up in no time being someone with depression and useless electronic skills)and labour would be another 500 if I gave it to someone then I'd be praying for the other switches to not fail like the nt elev which feels dodgy on my Cougar now. If you are RICH,go for it. If you are poor and saved all your life,took me a couple of years and then get it broken on arrival,STAY WELL BLOODY CLEAR. THIS THING WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL. Sorry ,the most overhyped hotas EVER. Mines sitting here on the desk looking at me and when I look back at it,all those cool looks it gives off don't mean a thing when it doesn't work.

THen worry about the other stuff giving out on you? No thanks. Rather piss on my Cougar ,throw it down a hill and order the CH stuff before that.

Hey Bucic,sounds like you got bit hard by the Cougar too. Really an apt name. Mutton dressed like lamb like those Cougars out nightclubbing.

The only people that rave about em are people who have spent 500 bucks FIXING them.

So true. There are no boasting rights owning a Cougar. I own one and want to dig a hole so noone knows I bought one. The hype all over forums was unbelievable prerelease and didn't match the product I'm afraid but that's advertising for yer.

Looks deceived me.:lol: Ch Fighterstick didn't look as cool so like the fool I got the cool one that doesn't work.

My 2 dollar skipping rope which I use to get fit and get happier is worth more than the 500 dollar Cougar. THe Cougar killed my simming fun dead. Was playing open falcon 3 years ago getting trained,having loads of fun(hi Naldo and all the great people there),starting to understand it and I thought getting the Cougar would be the logical thing. Got it,didn't work,put 500 readies on it which I didn't really have and was devastated. So much that I gave up simming completely. I couldn't afford to get another hotas and my Saitek x-45 was on it's last legs even though that hotas gave me years of enjoyment. :(

My throttle pot is gone and it took me 4 hours to put the case back together aligning those bloody rings that move over the throttle plastic cheap bit inside. No way I'd mod a Cougar because I'm poor and I'm not an electronics wizz or handyman. Made a huuuuge mistake buying it. Should've got the CH Products but now it's too late. Just sit here and mope about lol. Thrustmasters customer service is awful too.

Got it working at last Don't tell me how but I did it.

I have 3 codes now which are totally confusing me. serial,activation and hardware -where do these go? I want my money back.

who invented bloody starforce? Got a 15 dollar download worth nothing sitting on my hd. Followed the faq on this site when getting errors with Satanforce and still can't activate it. Need my medication.

I got mine working after another try. I read that faq after my problem-duh-my bad. Hope you get your install working kiwi-btw I'm from oz.:thumbup:

I'm getting an error 3 code when trying to install the downloaded version of Flaming Cliffs which I bought from this site. I had to download it a second time because the first download stopped at about 5 percent. Heeelllpppp.
