Thrustmaster MFD Cougar - default profile locking right MFD

[DarkFib3r]

Symptom:

 

If you have two Thrustmaster MFD Cougars plugged in and working correctly, in A-10C Sim controllers the buttons are disabled for assigning the right MFD OSBs. You can map the left hand MFD buttons properly to the physical right MFD, you just can't map the right MFD OSBs to the right physical MFD.

 

Note: the left physical MFD works by default and the left buttons map and respond fine.

 

Expected:

 

The OSB buttons for both Cougar MFDs (left and right) will be correctly mapped by default if and when detected by DCS.

 

Workaround:

 

Delete \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Input\A-10C\joystick\F16 MFD 1.lua and \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Input\A-10C\joystick\F16 MFD 2.lua. This then allows the left and right buttons to be mapped to both physical MFDs.

 

Secondary issue: new updates replace these files, forcing the user to have to remove them again for both physical MFDs to work properly again.
