Thrustmaster's TQS throttle as stand-alone

[Beerhunter]

Check out Realsimulator's website for a USB connector for Thrustmaster TQS throttle for a stand-alone input. Normaly it requires the Hotas Cougar joystick to operate.:joystick:

I just got an old Thrustmaster FLCS and TQS combo (pre-Cougar) from ebay with the intent of converting at least the throttle to USB.

 

Doubt this works with the old one, but cool none the less.

Just ordered it... looking forward to not having a cable between the TQS and SSC.

 

I have the hall sensor mod already for the TQS, as well as the FSSB R2. I plan on the FSSB R3 Warthog when possible. Mainly, this is for future-proofing since Cougars aren't being produced anymore. :)

Just got TUSBA R1 - works beautifly with my Cougar throttle, no driver required, just plug in, calibrate min/max ranges for axes, and it works. All axes are very smooth and have high resolution. I'm very happy with this great little adapter!

Hello Mnemonic,

 

do you know if the throttle is still compatible with the TARGET Software?

[RogueSqdn]

It is not. You would have to make assignments in whatever sim you were flying. If you needed keystrokes, AutoHotkey is an option.

 

It works great, by the way.

Correct, it is not compatible with TARGET or FOXY when you use it through TUSBA, but it acts like a regular joystick in the system so you can bind axes and buttons within DCS or Falcon. I just set it up, and I plan to use it together with HOTAS Warthog stick and throttle, to have additionally authentic F-16 throttle (without connecting it with Cougar stick). And in general to have more axes and buttons in my setup.

 

I found Cougar Throttle much more ergonomic than Warthog one, and cursor thumb-joystick on Cougar throttle is much better and comfortable that Warthog one, also seems to have higher resolution with TUSBA.

Thanks for the quick replay :thumbup:

I think i´m gonna try it

Is the TUSBA still not compatible with TARGET?

Yes I have read that one also and asked there to because its 2 years ago!

[Sokol1_br]

And TUSBA still the same product since that time, so... ;)

 

TARGET is Tm product, look for Tm VID/PID code on controllers, only Tm products will work with then. So TUSBA (or other brands hardware), never will be compatible.

ok thanx

I have the TUSBA R1 and hooked it up this week and unfortunately I can't get the throttle working correctly.

 

The axis looks to be working correctly in the options but in game the throttle axis doesn't change the throttle but the range knob will increase/decrease thrust. I can't get this fixed so any help would be appreciated.

Well, it sounds like the default in-game axis assignments are not matching the TUSBA R1 ones. So, you have to manually reassign the axis in the game controller options for each plane (just modify it once and export the controller mapping for the TUSBA device and then import it for other planes).
