Fang333333 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Hello all, I am writing to see if anyone else has had experience with Viper Gear's Throttle Quadrant sensor for the Cougar. I have tried 3 different sensors and none of them will work for me. The first was DOA with a short, the second does not see the full range and the 3rd is just wildly inconsistent. I manage to get the second one to work by using only manual calibration but when I use it in sim it is FAR from smooth. The throttle moves in increments. I tried shrugging it off, until I realized my Mad Cats X-55 works WAY smoother than the Hal sensor "upgrade" I purchased. I actually feel the stock Cougar throttle is smoother as well. None of the sensors I have are consistent, they even function differently when you trade one pairs magnet for the other. Sadly I cannot even get any sensor to be flyable anymore. Its not my intent to bad mouth Viper Gear, in fact to their credit they were VERY responsive and sent the replacements quickly. That is of course, until the last few weeks where they seem to have fallen off the planet. Can anyone way in on this? I have been working my butt off in between work for the last month and a half, and I am at the point of saying they are just faulty sensors. I have already checked and I have the LATER VERSION BOARD, so I should be fine. I was also going to get the FSSB that they have over Real Simulators, but honestly I am having doubts now since I cannot even get a single Hal sensor to function properly from them. My stock pot currently works fine. Thanks Fang Edited September 25, 2021 by Fang333333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As smooth as it can get.He's even making a force sensor upgrade for the stick. Perfect match! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
