TM Cougar spiking

[Snail]

I have a TM Cougar with Hall sensors (Über 2 mod) which is fine in BMS and COD. I just installed DCS world in advance of the upcoming Viggen mod and at my first (free) flights in the SU25 and D51 my controls were constantly spiking which made flying virtually impossible: both the stick and the throttle behaved irraticly. They did respond more or less to my inputs, but at the same time moved all over the place.

The Cougar is connected directly to the mainboard of my PC: no HUB in between.

 

Any ideas?

This is my axis setup: nothing weird here as far as I can see.

You checked the entire column for conflicts? It sure sounds like there is a conflict. You can also check to make sure the HW is sound by going to Control Panel, Joystick and checking for smooth input.

That's what it should look like but the General tab is to my knowledge only active when spectating.

Up there in the left corner you need to drop down the list and select the module you're flying.

Then you'll be able to see the right axis page.

 

Thanks, that solved the spiking!

 

Now find the axis for the rudder (CH pedals): the only option is JOY_RZ but that's not the right one. If I clear it and try to add an axis, only the HOTAS JOY_X, Y and Z axis are displayed though the CH is visible in the controls screen. Where can I find the right axis for it? Also for the wheelbrakes?

If the pedal axis is not detect in game GUI, select the axis by name in the drop down menu (look on Windows Games Controllers too see axis names). Will work in the same way.

 

This in "Plane name" > Axis Tab > under CH Pro Pedals...

 

Repeat for every module.

Do you mean this drop down menu? Only the joystick axis are visible. See screenshot. When I clear the input and choose 'default' I get the JOY_RZ back. Which isn't the right one.

When you are in that menu, move the rudder axis (physically) you want to assign, then it should show up by itself.

Thanks for your reply!

 

Indeed it did. Somewhat confusing: the name of the axis was the same axis as the throttle (JOY_Z) but it works.

 

Next question: is it possible to assign wheelbrakes (also differential? I see only one wheelbrake option in the All list) to an axis? Or is it keyboard only?
