SOB,

I tested it in Windows and the buttons were responding.

Once I removed the jsmap.cfg file from the Aces High\Settings\ folder and restarted AH I could map them.

I like that setup quite a bit more than what I was using.  I do believe that I'll use it in my file.

Thanks.

Heh, I removed JSmap.cfg right from the get go since I was starting with a new stick for the first time since flying AH.  I wasn't sure if it'd make any difference then, but now I'm glad I did!

Glad to hear the view setup is to your liking.  I spent quite a bit of time getting it set up after the logical programming was first implimented in the F22 back in the day (I set it up for WarBirds), and have stuck with it since.  Used to be a lot more compicated tho', because I used RAW Codes programming, as you couldn't program DirectX buttons on the F22 in the same way you can on the Cougar.

Just got mine today.  I can see that I will be a busy guy this weekend learning to program it.

My only real gripe is how tight the springs are.  I will probably get used to it, but does anyone know a way to get softer springs?

I just ordered the F22 springs from TM. I'm not sure if they'll be any lighter. Shot in the dark. I'll give you a heads-up if it works.

The only other idea I have is order a few custom made springs.
Here is a link to a place that makes them. Just plug in the measurements and place the order.
Torsion springs

Tight springs? I really do not mind having the tighter springs there. It seems pretty easy to move and the F-22 (IIRC) had stiffer springs than this one does. It is not easy and my son (5 1/2 yrs old) has to pull on it with both hands but it will just make him stronger in the long run.

Brent,

F22 springs are 20 pound springs, 2 pounds heavier than Cougar springs.

Sorry.

I heard that too. But someone else said they were lighter. But anyway I got them. Put them in the stick and bingo. Big improvent. Feels around 30% lighter. Yet still strong enough to keep this heavy bastard standing straight up.
I'm very happy with my sissy Cougar now :p
