msmith301 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Anyone know where I can get the replacement FSSB R1 or R2 for the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. My roll gimbal just snapped in half and I found an article on the Force Sensor Stick Base (FSSB) replacement for the TM gimbal system for the joystick. Looks like a way better upgrade. Easy to install and much better performance. Does the R3 work in the Cougar?
Dudikoff Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Surprised to find these are no longer available from the manufacturer. When I looked a few months ago, they still had the R2 model on offer. But, Miles on the DCS forums has been designing a similar solution, not sure what's the status on that. R3 would work with the Cougar grip I guess, but as it's intended for the Warthog, you'd need to mount it somehow (normally it mounts on the Warthog base plate). It also wouldn't interface with the Cougar base electronically so it would be a standalone stick (not sure if it can be made compatible with TM Target). But, you could still plug your old Cougar base to the PC to use the throttle in parallel to this standalone stick. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!

msmith301 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Posted April 22, 2020 I have one I could sell you if you are still interested. R2 or R3. I'm understanding the R3 is only for the Warthog sick base.
FlyBoyd Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 R2 or R3. I'm understanding the R3 is only for the Warthog sick base. It's the R1 for the original Cougar base. It's already installed and works great. I do have the other version, but I'm keeping that one. :) Intel I9-9900k, Gigabyte AORUS Ultra, 64GB G.SKILL Trident Z Royal 3200, EVGA 2080Ti, Samsung M.2 960 Pro 512, Samsung M.2 960 Pro 1TB, MCG, Vipril, TM Controls, SLAW device rudders, Obutto Revolution, Valve Index

FlyBoyd Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 PM me with a cost please. Sorry I was mistaken, it's actually the R2. Haven't flown with it in a while and thought I had the original one. This is the updated version from the original Pm Sent Intel I9-9900k, Gigabyte AORUS Ultra, 64GB G.SKILL Trident Z Royal 3200, EVGA 2080Ti, Samsung M.2 960 Pro 512, Samsung M.2 960 Pro 1TB, MCG, Vipril, TM Controls, SLAW device rudders, Obutto Revolution, Valve Index
