CybrSlydr Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 The Cougar stick is working just fine. I'd really prefer to fix the throttle, but finding info about it and/or how to fix it is not working out. What throttles on the market could I purchase that would work with it?
sirrah Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Most (if not all) throttles are stand alone these days. They have their own USB connection. So for that matter you won't need the Cougar stick base and can buy whichever throttle you want :) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
CybrSlydr Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 What all options are out there? There's the A-10 throttle, the Virpil throttle... Any others?

If a very simple device inside - "brainless", easy to convert in standalone USB device with TUSBA adaper, or Rel4y kit: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220916 Dual engine throttle options is Wart'hrottle and VirPil T50CM2, since VKB TECS promised at more than a year still a... promise. :D Single engine throttle are Thrustmaster TWCS and CH PRO Throttle, both slider type throttle.

The problem with the throttle is that all of the buttons work, but the rotaries and the actual slider for the throttle aren't registering or working. Here's the thread - https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=245999 I've already replaced the throttle pot with a HALL sensor - didn't fix it. Nobody so far has much of an idea as to what could be wrong or how to fix it. I do have an e-mail in with Thrustmaster support - we'll see if they have any suggestions. I even offered to ship it to them and see if they could fix it at my expense. I'd much rather fix it myself though.
