Thrustmaster Cougar

No, I have everything that needs to be done in the joystick file, and minimal stuff in through AH.  The JS analyzer, when used with the USE THR_RANGE command only recognized limited physical travel, but the setup seems to work without that particular command.

Anyway, after removing the USE THR_RANGE command, I finally got the stick working throughout its entire range, with WEP coming on at the top end, and in specific situations (DF switch in the D position) the engine would toggle as expected. I put some final touches on some button maps, and I also did up a 12-page readme file (my son said I have NO life, sadly, I had to agree).  I think think the original problem came down to a calibration and throttle reversal issue, but I fooled around with it and it finally worled as advertized.  I had to program it as if the throttle was backwards, with WEP coming on at 0% and the engine toggling at 100%.  I'm sure there can be some more efficiency in the programming of this, but for now, it ain't broke, so....

I can distribute the (more-or-less) final product if anyone wants it, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Just sent it, it's about 7 megs though

cool, thank you again for your efforts!

I just re-adjusted the dead bands in the CCP, to about 20% upper and lower on the throttle axis.  It makes the jump to WEP more definite, and cuts down on the accidental wep engagements.

Hope you like the file
