A squad member got me to use the Thrustmaster TARGET software. If you have a Thrustmaster compatible product and don't use it, you are missing a powerful tool.
Here are some of the things I do with the software.
Auto salvo settings for 1,2,4,6, and 8.
Auto calibrate bomb site for 3 and 10 seconds
Auto turn off of plane icons with zoom.
One press bailout.
One press end sortie.
The Cougar MFD button panel is great for these.
The software is graphics mouse point and click. Easy to use.
