In AH?

I eventualy want to go all CH, but the Stick is still working fine.

I know I should just get a new pot from Thrustmaster, but there web site is a pain.

You should be able to, the Cougar will be seen as one device and the Pro Throttle as another you just need to select that device and assign it's axis to throttle input. I used to use a Cougar with CH Pro Pedals without any conflict before I switched to a full CH setup.

A couple options for a new pot.

The Cougar World website sells throttle pots.

Or you can email techsupport.

Funny you should post this, I have a duff Cougar Joystick and really like the Throttle and was wondering who/where to ask if I could plug it into a CH Fighterstick and save my self a bit of cash.
Anyone had to try this?

Thanks for the link FLS

I am slowly going to convert over to CH.

I just bought the CH pro throttle, in a month or so I will get their pedals, and then the stick. I just need to make a Laz rubberband base for it!

I am not willing to spend much more money on a stick that cost me 300 bucks and has a huge amount of centerplay, after only a little use.

I used to be hardcore thrustmast, but 300 is just to much for something that wore out this fast. It is not like I play AcesHigh 40 hours a week, I am lucky to get 10 hours a month and I didnt use the joystick for the first year I owned it.

On top of everthing else the damn thing wobbles were it screws into the handle.

They are sold out on the pots.

I am going to email TM and see what they say. But I am not paying for the pot.
