pmsmc Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Hello All, I took my old TM Cougar out of the box and I am trying it with Realsimulator's TUSBA to use it separatley from the joystick as an independent controller. However, I cannot adjust the curves of the throttle. Either I get it full closed and I can keep the jet stoped while in idle, but I cannot get th AB to work, or I get the AB to work, but the throttle doesn't come all te way back and I cannot keep the plane stoped while in idle. Any suggestions ? Thanks
pmsmc Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 Solved it. Using a user defined curve and ajusting the first 2 and last 2 columns did the trick.
Deano87 Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Did you recalibrate your axis properly using the TUSBA software? it sounds like it's not calibrated.

John Galt Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 TUSBA help I bought the Real Simulator TUSBA and all works well except my cursor drifts all over the MFD screen and worse with TGP. The microstick works well other than that and I have recalibrated in the RS calibration tool a couple of times with no joy. Anyone with an idea to stop the drift would be greatly appreciated.
Deano87 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) First step is to look in the DCS control bindings screen. Go to Axis controls for the F-16 and see if your cursor X and Y axis are not centralised or are drifting around. If they aren’t centralised I’d go into axis tune on each of those bindings and is set a dead zone big enough that it returns the axis output to the neutral position. Possibly add a little curve in there as well so it’s easier to do precise control.

John Galt Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Thanks Deano87, creating a little dead zone in both axes did the trick. I greatly appreciate your help and the quick response. Thanks again.

Harlikwin Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Yeah always set axis deadzones on ministicks like that. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Any suggestions ? Thanks Hey mind sharing a screen shot of your curve? I attempted to play with mine and I'm not sure, there just seems to be zero control between 70-90% RPM almost like it digital. Also on the TUSBA Software I don't appear to be getting full range on the axis, I've paired it so many times.

Dead zone between 70-90% sounds like a dead zone in the pot to me rather then any software issues. I had the same issues before I swapped to a Viper Gear Hall Effect upgrade = https://vipergear.eu/product/cougar-midlife-update-throttle-kit-c-muk/ Regarding full range on the Axis, Have you done a recalibration of the axis in the TUSBA software?

Hey, yes I've re calibrated several times and its still the same. The axis does jump all the time in the TUSBA software so I think I got a dead zone in the pot... I'll order myself a Hall sensor then.
fudabidu Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 There are two different versions of the Cougar throttle, so you wanna make sure to get the correct pot.

Orr89 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Hall sensor arrived today, fitted and all working fine, still need to add a curve to the axis tho otherwise the AF is in the wrong position (i know you can physically adjust it inside, but I cannot be assed to open it up again). So if you could please share you're custom curves that be great thanks!
