Because the HOTAS works great with everything EXCEPT 'free flight' I am very confident it IS a flight simulator 2020 issue and not a Thrustmaster problem. If it were a HOTAS driver or firmware issue it shouldn't work at all but it does. I have been a software developer for almost 40 years and based on what I see this is a Microsoft issue. User manual- Hotas Cougar - Complete multi-langual v1.4a: PC: User manual- Hotas Cougar - DA FI NO SW: PC: English. Package drivers - Vista RC2 (32bit) PC.
Thrustmaster release updated 32 and 64 bit Vista Cougar drivers and software. Thrustmaster have made available Release Candidate 2 of their 32 bit Vista software and Release Candidate 1 of their 64 bit Vista software for you to download and try. It's worth pointing out that each is a large download.
Force Controlled Cougar 3
The FCC-3 is the follow up of the FCC2, a force controlled modification for the Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar.
Force Controlled means that the amount of movement of the plain in the sim is no longer dependant of the displacement of the stick,
but becomes dependant of the amount of force that is applied to the stick.
Force Controlled means that the amount of movement of the plain in the sim is no longer dependant of the displacement of the stick,
but becomes dependant of the amount of force that is applied to the stick.
The amount of force, necessary to give full yaw or rudder is adjustable with the axis settings in Foxy and CCP.
The major differences between the old FCC2 and the FCC-3 are:
- Completely overhauled electronics, which gives better mechanical and temperature stability
- Pcb mechanically decoupled from the metal parts.
- Improved sensitivity and precision (as far as that was possible).
The FCC3 still uses:
- Real, high precision, straingauges, which increase reliability and sensitivity
- 2 straingages for x- and y-axis (4 in total). This gives increased temperature stability
- Completely overhauled electronics, which gives better mechanical and temperature stability
- Pcb mechanically decoupled from the metal parts.
- Improved sensitivity and precision (as far as that was possible).
The FCC3 still uses:
- Real, high precision, straingauges, which increase reliability and sensitivity
- 2 straingages for x- and y-axis (4 in total). This gives increased temperature stability
Under normal conditions the FCC3 is virtually indestructable and as yet no FCC2 or FCC3 have been returned because of mechanical or electrical failure. It is a modification that will five you many years of high precision fun.
