Cougar Profile for DCS:Warthog by Viper

Thank a lot for share it! It's very useful!

Huh?

Let me try to simplify my own question here, because im still working on resolving this.

In my Thrustmaster Cougar, Foxy programming, I have the following joystick file:

Rem H2

BTN H2U /I Cockpitpanelviewtoggle

/O /H HotasTMSUp

BTN H2D /I ViewDownslow

/O /H HotasTMSDown

BTN H2L /I ViewDownLeftslow

/O /H HotasTMSLeft

BTN H2R /I ViewDownRightslow

/O /H HotasTMSRight

I understand this completely, what I don’t understand is that when I do :

BTN H2U /I Cockpitpanelviewtoggle

With this action, I can now use snap views (which is great), the above stated “IN functions no longer function as stated e.g:

BTN H2R /I ViewDownRightslow

Is now a snap view function, and does not function as stated above.

The toggling of the :

BTN H2U /I Cockpitpanelviewtoggle

Somehow now utilizes this macro instead:

SnapView0 = USB (DE3 D62 U62 UE3)

SnapView1 = USB (DE3 D59 U59 UE3)

SnapView2 = USB (DE3 D5A U5A UE3)

SnapView3 = USB (DE3 D5B U5B UE3)

SnapView4 = USB (DE3 D5C U5C UE3)

SnapView5 = USB (DE3 D5D U5D UE3)

SnapView6 = USB (DE3 D5E U5E UE3)

SnapView7 = USB (DE3 D5F U5F UE3)

SnapView8 = USB (DE3 D60 U60 UE3)

SnapView9 = USB (DE3 D61 U61 UE3)

I don’t see how this macro is “turned on and off” if you will

I'm willing to help but all I can talk about is TARGET and TMWH HOTAS hardware. All I know is that TARGET would make no difference in what the sim gets from a keyboard action and a script-generated keyboard event....

I appreciate your assistance,,, off the bat,, I have no idea what the term "TARGET" is in relation to controller programming? Thanks

TARGET is thrustmaster's newer software for programming their HOTAS. Something other than foxy.

ohhhhh,,,,,, Thanks,, just for curiosity, I will see if it is compatable with the Cougar?

it is. it's what i use

For the passing by reader comprehension (as I know you found the answer since), T.A.R.G.E.T stands for Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor (taken from TARGET_User_Manual.pdf)

Well just to bump this, back to the original question:

This is a neat profile, thanks--one question... big one...

How do I ramp start using it and the Cougar throttle when the throttle won't budge at rest since I'm assuming you need to control each throttle separately?

Any ideas? I can't get the darned throttle to move to spool up my engines, yet in instant action it moves fine.

As far as I know, you cant bum p the throttle up with this profile to do a start,,, I use the keyboard for that procedure,,,,

BTW, I never got my question above resolved,,,,,

Thanks for the awesome profile! I do have a couple of question..

1. Installation is to put the files in the correct map? No work required in Foxy or CCP?

2. I can use the microstick to move the camera in external view, but is there a way to use it in cockpit view? I don't have TrackIR and now I cant move the camera in the cockpit.

3. What are best settings in the Axis Tune for the Cougar? The plane flies a bit sloppy now.

Thanks in advance, I'm quite new to the Cougar and it al seems complicated..:noexpression:

Hi, I'll try to answer as best I can. I use this profile, and have since I bought DCS A10.2. Yes, you can use the microstick, and yes but I found that using it in the cockpit as a mouse didn't feel that right and didn't save any time.

1. I've modified the file in Foxy to fit my needs, team speak, VAC, no snap views, TrackIR commands, etc...

2. Yes to both. However I didn't like trying to use the mircostick as a mouse in the cockpit.

3. What do you mean by sloppy? I have my settings around a deadzone of 3 or 4 and a curve of 25 or so.

In short, it's a great profile, the best one out there.

I downloaded and installed this profile to my Cougar, but it doesnt work at all. None of the buttons work as advertised in the picture it came with. I am new to DCS, but not the Cougar. I could very well be doing something wrong, but downloading and installing a tmj is not rocket science.:helpsmilie:

did you get ant errors when you ran the compiler 1st?
