JCook Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I have my Cougar HOTAS setup and working in Falcon BMS on my dedicated BMS PC. I want to use this same HOTAS on my dedicated DCS PC. Do i need to install / run the CCP program or drivers on the DCS system for the HOTAS to work there? I only utilize actual F16 HOTAS commands and don't program any extra functionality with Foxy. I want to just move this HOTAS between the two PCs. I understand i will need to program the axes and buttons in the DCS config screen, wondering about any external drivers, etc. that are needed.
BlacleyCole Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I’m not sure since my laptop was already setup for a warthog hotas but when I plugged it in it did say that the tm cougar was installed but it didn’t show up in target foxy’s next version. I’m still trying to get my cougar properly configured if you get yours done please save the dcs profile and let me have a copy I’m not sure how to do the knobs or wheels buttons and switches are no problem but the other are.

gavilan_cl Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Hi You have to install the TM Cougar HOTAS drivers on each PC / Laptop you use for flightsim.

If no Foxy is used, you can go by with just the internal DCS config screen to set up your HOTAS. But as gavilian_ci points out, you need to install the software on both of your dedicated PC's.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

Lange_666 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Yes (but i use Foxy since Target is way over my head, programmable wise).
