WannaBeGnome Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Hi, is there any possibility of setting up just outside view without cockpit, and get altimeter etc. on the other display? If it is, please post me any tutorial. And one more question. Are these http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/mfd-cougar-pack just frames without displays, or are displays included and they are ready to use?
cichlidfan Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 You can use a HUD only view for your main view. A free product called Helios (http://gadrocsworkshop.com/helios) can produce the gauges on another monitor. The MFDs are Plug and Play, the buttons all work, with DCS Warthog but they do not include displays. EDIT: Welcome to the forum.

tonym Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 The Cougar MFD's are brilliant & in my opinion a must!. They work straight from the box with the A10C. and although they don't have a display, the added realism of punching buttons instead of fiddling with the mouse is tremendous. It also adds a lot of speed when it is needed. The other great advantage, is that they are easily set up for BS controls & for other aircraft in Lock On, simply by making small panels for the centers with button assignments written on.
WannaBeGnome Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 can you recommend me some displays for those MFCD?
cichlidfan Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 There are a variety of solutions but Helios and using them over a full size monitor is the least expensive route. You should start by skimming/searching threads in this section for the information you are looking for.

FreeFall Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 can you recommend me some displays for those MFCD? Just buy a cheap display and attach Cougars with Velcro tape. You can fill up the remaining space of the screen with gauges using Helios software.
