Cougar MFD Custom Cards

[P5138]

I've been making cards for my Cougar MFDs for every plane in DCS:W/FC3 and wanted to share a couple here (mainly to ask if I got anything wrong on the German ones). If there is interest I'll upload the rest. I've made a set for every released ASM vehicle. To use: print the files out with a width of 109-110mm and cut to fit the MFD's card holder. I got the best results with semi-gloss photo paper.

There are some issues with mapping buttons to the countermeasure system here, as far as I remember.

 

Jets:

F-86

Needs the following code added to the joystick input lua to function correctly:

If anyone actually knows German and could tell me if I have anything completely wrong on the cards for the German planes, it would be great to know what to change to make the cards correct.

 

Edit: Files moved to attachments so the post isn't ginormous.

Edit 2: Corrected the Fw-190D and Bf-109 cards; added Helicopters and Jets.

Edit 3: Fixed error in F-86 Cards

Edit 4: Added Rocket Sight Adjustment Table (translated) to Mi-8 cards.

Edit 5: Copied Radio Charts from Mig-21 cockpit onto the cards for easier reference. (They are not translated)

Edit 6: Ka-50 Rocket Correction Table added to the corresponding cards.

Edit 7: Long overdue, this one. Correctd Fw-190D circuit breaker typo; Revised F-86F's left card to be more useful (rockets and bomb controls are on the bottom row instead of the less-used gun select); MiG-15bis cards created.

Edit 8: Revised the F-86 Right card to make caging and uncaging the sight easier to perform without looking by using the rocker in the corner.

Edit 9: Bf-109K4 cards edited for typos

Edit 10: Links to control profiles added to OP for most cards.

Edit 11: Su-27 card added with control profile.

Thanks for those fixes. My German is limited to being able to say I can't speak German. I'll make the corrections and update them. Those last three are from the 109's panel, right?

[P5138]

I added all the other vehicles currently in the sim except the Generic FC3 one I'm rearranging thanks to the Su-27.

[Iku_CC]

Btw..can you give Cougar MFD configurations for these cards...if as TARGET script it would be greate..:) or how have you configured buttons of MFD's?

[P5138]

I was actually just going over the in-game luas for these. Expect some config files in the coming days; my PC required a full reinstall, so I will reprofiling everything anyway.

 

Although I do use TARGET for the Warthog stick and Throttle, the MFD's are set through the in-game profiles. Many of the commands that are on the cards don't have default keybinds.

[Iku_CC]

Ok...I use my throttle for DX inputs and stick and MFD with keybinds.

So I got to look to make my own scripts for mfds...I have done that to A10C...so it's just mather of time..:)

[Teufel]

Many thanks!!!

[Koekemoeroetoe]

Thanks, these cards are awesome! Printed and laminated all of them! Are you planning to make a SU-27 MFD card as well? Would be really nice. Keep up the good work!

HI,

Very nice work!! I was thinking to do similar cards but I have limited time to DCS (Family, kids....). Nice if you could post the updated cards. Again thanks.

MFDs with active cards

 

These cards remind of of those I used with the old MasterPilot controllers I used back in the day before the TM Cougar MFDs came out. Now I use Cougars with LCDs

 

 

What might be good is to not make cards for my situation with LCDs behind the MFDs, but use the actual PNG graphics file displayed on each MFD.

Sorry for the long delay in getting these updates out. I have just posted updated versions of the F-86 and Fw-190D cards, as long as adding in new cards for the MiG-15.

 

With the MiG's card, I will definitely need to add in the saved control schemes somehow. While my Russian isn't great, I will definitely admit that it will be hard for anyone not familiar with the language to translate the controls to the English equivalent for assignment.

 

Thanks, these cards are awesome! Printed and laminated all of them! Are you planning to make a SU-27 MFD card as well? Would be really nice. Keep up the good work!

 

I am planning on eventually getting to the Su-27. I've been so engrossed by the WWII and Korean birds, recently, that getting back up in the modern stuff hasn't even been a consideration.

I would love to see how that would turn out. With the small print on the charts and on a few of the buttons for my versions, I always figured an LCD would make the cards unreadable in places.

The 109 cards have been updated to fix the missing "t" and "f". Thanks for pointing those out.

[Robo.]

Excellent job, thank you.

[P5138]

In response to requests for the profiles, I have added the majority of the DCS profiles I use for the cards to the OP. I've, for now, left off the F-86 and Mi8 profiles. I need to clarify some things on those two.

[sobe]

P5138

Do you have a suggestion as to how to size your panels to fit within the TM MFD. I have played around with it and never seem to get the right size.

[P5138]

The cards as they are posted should be printed at a width of 109 to 110mm (~4.333 inches). I usually use Photoshop so that I can get the right size, but recently, I have been toying with putting bleeds onto the print so that I'd have a little leeway. Previous to that I was being extremely careful with a rotary cutter, then trimming the bottom corners against either the plastic covers or using one of the cards that came with the set. Even with all that care, I was often either cutting too small or leaving white around the edges forcing me to waste (expensive) photo stock on another attempt.

 

On the MiG-15, as an experiment, I internally made versions with a 3mm bleed. This means each is now printed with a width of 115-116mm (~4.53 inches). It has alleviated the hassle of getting the cuts precisely at the edge of the ink, but it is not something I plan on retroactively adding into the older cards at this time unless it truly fixes the problem.

 

I had also thought about creating a single pdf with both cards on a single page, but haven't really figured out a good way to do that and get it the right size yet. PDFs in theory would be better for this sort of thing: they can be set to a fixed size in the file for easier printing, but I want to get it right without wasting too much more paper in the process. In hindsight, I should have made these cards in inDesign or Illustrator instead of Photoshop.

 

I've attached the versions of the MiG-15 cards with the bleed zone to this post. If something like this will make it easier to print out at the right size for the other cards, let me know. Otherwise, if a pdf version of the cards sounds better, I can experiment with a few ideas on creating them as pdfs. If neither of those solutions works for you, I can try to figure out something else that would work with programs built into Windows.

Quick Update: Since I just picked up the Ultimate Argument Campaign in the last Steam sale, I thought it was time to get a Su-27 card made up. The new card, along with its profile, has been added to the first post.
