Cold_Steel Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi All, As per the title I’ve got the Cougar throttle and stick. I’m struggling with the Mig-29 and SU-33 on the throttle abs making very small adjustments in speed for formation flying. Sometimes a tiny movement adds loads of speed other times you need an inch of travel to move a few knots. Now I’m completely and utterly aware this is also air raft dependent, load out dependent for drag and altitude as well. I mean ‘general’ regardless of those variables I find the cougar not very responsive for formation flying. Now as a baseline I used another generic throttle without missing anything and it’s smoother and MUCH easier to formation fly. Are there any settings in DCS/Windows 10 for the Cougar to be tweaked??

Mortisrose Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The cougar throttle has a low resolution of 8-bits (256 values), the "generic" throttle probably has a higher resolution of 10 bits (1024) or more. I modded my throttle with a pro-micro and MMjoy2 firmware to make it 10-bit and standalone, from 8 to 10 bits it is noticeably smoother in output. i7 7700k, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1080, 500 GB NVMe m.2 SSD, Trackir 3 Pro, Gunfighter Mk I w/MCG; Mod.

toutenglisse Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Cold steel be sure that, when using Cougar throttle, you don't have a curve on the axis by default. (or deadzone / saturation - you must have a clean linear input) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying I need to add a curve in? Thanks! Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutenglisse Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 No I meant check in DCS control settings that your Cougar Throttle axis is linear. If it has a curve by default it can be your issue (if so, set curve to Zero for this axis). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
