TM Cougar HOTAS with CH Pro Pedals/Overall Commands HELP

[WesterlySix]

Help - I am sure it is some set up or option in settings, but using TM Cougar HOTAS with CH Pro Pedals (older I know but not impossible...right?). I have run repair, no non DCS mods or aircraft, mapped the axis flight commands. All confirmed in the controls set up. I fly training missions and can do cold start ups with key commands, gear retraction with key commands, mapped air brakes on on HOTAS, etc. All works well. Go to a DCS Mission, Campaign, or instant action, key commands present in the controls options not do not work - no cold start ups, no wheel braking, even seems to be a loss in take off power. This is with the F18 seeing the flaps, slats are down, key commands will not retract. I have watched tutorials, read the forum and even loaded the TM TARGET GUI....which honestly does do much for me. A bit complicated. 

 

If I update my TM for the latest F16 or A10 HOTAS ($800) will this magically work better? Right now, I am losing faith in the platform with >$500 in downloads, Track IR (yet to install), and a 3K PC  specifically bought so I can use DCS.  HELP.

Hi. There are at least two different controls profiles for each aircraft:

• "Game" (sometimes called "Easy") is used for simplified gameplay ("Game Avionics mode")
• "Sim" (sometimes called "Real") is used for standard simulation gameplay

 

Then in the "Gameplay" tab of the options menu, you can choose the type of gameplay you want:

 

 

Say you want to fly "the hard way": you will use the "Sim/Real"  controls profile, and you will leave "Game Avionics Mode" unchecked.

(see this thread for more info)

Thank you. Seeing all these responses from several of my posts when I went to "My Activity." I thought I would get an email or some type of visual cue. I will look at this more closely. Thanks again.

Holy Cow...that seemed to fix my cold and dark starts. I will try some of the other missions, campaigns and instant actions to see if it is corrected. Thank you so much!

The new forum still has some glitches...
