CybrSlydr Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I think my Cougar base is going bad. It's spiking and restarting via Cougar Control Panel/calibrating isn't doing it quite. Aside from Virpil, what bases out there are compatible with the Cougar stick? Warthog Mag Base, what else?

CybrSlydr Posted October 12, 2021 Author Posted October 12, 2021 I didn't see an adapter listed on VKB's NA site for the Gunfighter.

I replaced the two potentiometers of the base with contact-less sensors made by @rel4y ... much less expensive than replacing the whole base. 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

I also did this on my cougar, but then eventually bit the bullet and got a more modern base/stick. The cougar was a great stick back in the day but it's chalk and cheese to how new ones perform. For the OP, I believe winwing base with adapter is another option you can add to the list. 2

Supmua Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 The VKB and Winwing options require stick modification by replacing the bottom connecting sockets to their proprietary ones. The true compatible bases with PS/2 socket connections besides Thrustmaster are from Realsimulator, Brunner, and Virpil. These are simple plug and play and your stick remains intact in its original form. 1 PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti. Joystick bases: TMW, VPC WarBRD, MT50CM2, VKB GFII, FSSB R3L Joystick grips: TM (Warthog, F/A-18C), Realsimulator (F-16SGRH, F-18CGRH), VKB (Kosmosima LH, MCG, MCG Pro), VPC MongoosT50-CM2 Throttles: TMW, Winwing Super Taurus, Logitech Throttle Quadrant, Realsimulator Throttle (soon) VR: HTC Vive/Pro, Oculus Rift/Quest 2, Valve Index, Varjo Aero, https://forum.dcs.world/topic/300065-varjo-aero-general-guide-for-new-owners/
