CybrSlydr Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Ok, so I have the Cougar HOTAS and I'm trying to mine you folks for help on how to get the most important parts for the Apache on this HOTAS. Currently, I don't have track IR or VR (will fix that early next week). What we have on the stick are 3 4-way HATs and one 8-way HAT, two-stage trigger, weapon release button, pinky switch, NWS button and MSL mode buttons. What are the four most important HAT switches that the Apache needs? Moving to the throttle, have the rdr cursor with depress, two 3-position switches, two knobs (one with depress) and the 4-way boat switch (? unsure of proper name). I'm currently thinking the rdr range knob depress would work well as a tail wheel unlock, the dogfight might work well as the symbology switch, rdr cursor and depress as the TAD slew and las/store button. I've currently got the 4-way radio switch set to wheel brake forward and left/right yaw. Really appreciate your folks input so we can get this worked out!
CybrSlydr Posted March 19, 2022 Author Posted March 19, 2022 I'm working my way through Wag's control setup video but there just aren't enough buttons on this HOTAS. Needs another mini-stick and a bunch more buttons. It works for the Pilot but CP/G is just... so many buttons.
Magic Man Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Sort of similar but also have a Warthog throttle so splitting use between the two grips. 1
