Cougar detection problem! HELP!

[Raised_Dead85]

Okay i installed everything perfectly and used it for a while but when i did a system defrag then i launched the joystick CCP and it keeps giving no detected joystick but its plugged in! I reinstalled the program a hundred times but same thing! I even did a XP upgrade reinstall! I dont want to reinstall everything because i got stuff i cant afford to lose and i shoulnt have to do that!

 

It worked fine but as soon i did a defrag of C: drive everything went haywire! I need somebodies assistance if any one has any!

 

I am going to post in cougar forum later when i have time to register!

 

Thanks in advance!

You must install the "firmware" new from the Cougar!

 

Unplug the throttle from the stick, go to the "TM Hotas Cougar folder" and start the "Hotas Cougar update!"

Unfortunately Not - will need to clear any "Old" firmware from the Cougar prior to updating so you have to have the Cougar with you.

RD its good to hear that youve gotten through your tour.. Congratulations

 

As far as your Cougar is concerned, did you download the latest software off of the Internet? This is the only one that you really should use..

 

If have to reinstall my Cougar after "for example" a new system build this is all that I use...

 

This should clear up any issues the you might be haveing..

Hey Blaze thanks for the support! My last deployment woohooo:D:D:D!!!

I dont know if you know, but you can go to Iraq as a civilian and make 85,000 a year as a contractor! Many Marines that got out, i seen them here! They do less than what military does, they get to sleep during there job and go to PX anytime... its all true too!

 

Anyways about my Cougar. If it worked before when i installed it and it should worked if i have to reinstall it.

 

The latest software i found and downloaded from Cougar website was the same thing i already have with my Hotas Cougar installation CD. Only thing i found different was the updated FC TMJ file for the FOXY. And the BEta 4.2 FOXY! Oh BTW i could not get to register in there forum because they wont let yahoo or hotmail email address and thats all i that i have a and ever used! Im out of luck looking their for help! I can send a email to support tech. Theres probably hundreds of site out there that have updates and download. But the main support site for Cougar should have all of these!
