cichlidfan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Depends on whether you can mount them in an appropriate place so that they match up to what you see in VR. Personally, I would consider them a waste until an Augmented Reality solution arises.

Precog Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Given that I fly different aircraft, they wouldn't match up with the aircraft Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal.Iber Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I use them in both the A10C and the Harrier. They're useable but not ideal. I usually grab the inside portion to give my fingers some sort of reference position and then fumble around for the buttons. That said, I think I often hit the wrong button about 35% of the time. It hasn't caused any real problems yet, but if I'm in a hurry I often grab the mouse to click in-game for the sake of accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I just peek out through the bridge nose/gap and use the buttons. Works well enough for me. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnco61 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) They are well worth the money, plug and play, they match the A10 and harrier out of the box so no need to assign keys. You can assign all buttons with other aircraft so you rely less on the keyboard. I stick small rubber grommets to the centre button of each row (pick them up from any DIY store to stop cupboard doors slamming) I can almost get the right button every time now as I have them mounted on my desk about the same distant apart as the A10 after a while you will wonder how you ever managed without them Edited December 14, 2017 by johnco61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Seeing as the F/A-18 has three MFDs, is it possible to use a third Cougar MFD, or do they have to be in pairs?

Dudikoff Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Seeing as the F/A-18 has three MFDs, is it possible to use a third Cougar MFD, or do they have to be in pairs? Each one connects on its own so I guess three is possible. Target support I'm not so sure about, but I guess you'll use them to control the MFD buttons only anyway so you can just program them in DCS then.

Los Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I use them with my VR rig and they are excellent. I have them mounted ala F16 or F18. The Harrier picks them up by default with no programming needed. Los Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
