COUGAR-OWNERs - don't you wanna use the FULL 100% of your gear?

[DonULFonso]

I want to be able to use the FULL 100% of my Cougar's capacity and capabilities NOW -
RELEASE the FIX for the MEMORY BUG!

[SOB]

Dear jesus, could you summarize that in a paragraph or less please?  Some of us work and go to school and have to find time to sleep too!  


SOB

Yet, somehow we can find the time to double-post!

[DonULFonso]

In short words (though not necessarily sentences ):

while writing my AH-files I came across a major bug with the Cougar's internal memory:
when a compiled file gets close or exceeds around 2/3rds of the available memory,
then your Cougar will immediatly disconnect directly after download -
without any error-message, and with only an un- and re-plug to resurrect it!

I've reported this - reproducable! - bug in January
(along with some further related bugs),
and since then I have typed my fingers wound in order to wake up TM.
In march they started to investigate on this issue,
in April a bug-fixed compiler was ready...
SINCE THEN literally nothing happened:
it's still AWAITING official testing!

I've written an open letter to TM to ask for whatever progress,
and 'to the community' to inform them about this affair:
ONLY with this comiler is it POSSIBLE to download and use LARGE files -
but this compiler has been buried under the old oak tree,
and TM's management is sleeping (as usual) happy ever after...

Don, would you care to share your profile?  I would like to see it for one thing and see if your issue happens on my system for another. I am sure youve tested that but since what I would really like to see a profile that takes that much memory it seems a good ploy  

If you could email it I would really appreciate that.

[DonULFonso]

On its way, with the final version to come soon...

[DonULFonso]

After denying any delay - let alone inactivity - on TM's side
and insisting on great progress made and many bugs fixed,
and implying - if not directly announcing - an according update to come,
CW-staff have deleted the complete thread.

Interestingly, CW-staff have once again neglected any official character of CW
and stressed the importance of reporting bugs directly to TM.
TM themsoves stated in their official forum
that they consider the Cougar to be out of their, TM's , responsibility,
and that any bugs should therefore directly be reported to CW-staff.

Got it ? If so: like it ?

[SOB]

It's like the F22 Pro all over again.  Oh well, at least the Cougar doesn't have whacky pot problems.

[SOB]

What is it with this thread and double-posting?!

yes it does

[DonULFonso]

Furious unfortunately is right (though he'd have got flamed 'n' burned at the stake only few months ago for daring to say this ):

as it happens, more and more Cougar-owners report dying throttles. While all of the reported cases happened after updating to any of the 2.x-series soft- and firmware, TM's position always has been that it's impossible that a firmware-update could ruin one's hardware. In the meantime, CW-staff have mentioned such a possibility to be under investigation (only took 'em some months - now, that's quick, ain't it just?).

Other users report spiking of their joystick-axes as well, and I've just recently noticed that my y-axis gets spiky little-by-little, too. So, whatever you might have heard about "sealed high-quality pots", forget it, the Cougar only got normal pots.

Oh, don't get me wrong : I nevertheless do love my Cougar - only I'm no TM-groupie and can't stand the continued hype while hiding and downright censoring everything they - TM or CW - don't like to hear, respectively don't like other users to read .

Cougar owners should erect a statue of you in their own park.  Would that help?

ROFLMAO.

DonULFonzo... you're confusing "censorship" with apathy.  Few take your rants seriously.  It's all getting old and stale.

Evenstrain is just about right. Bottom line is that all new products are hyped and trumpeted to the rooftops. Said product is chucked out in the marketplace. Support dwindles with time till a year or so on no one is really interested any more.

Same with farm machinery.

[DonULFonso]

...which is why you just take it 'as is' and as something that's alright and normal
and simply sell your Cougar rather than wishing (if not expecting) that TM would solve these issues?
